barks Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 [attachment=6232:my_P_basses001.JPG] These are my '78 fretless with EMG pickups and my new US made '57 re-issue. The fretless is pretty heavy but is a beast (in a good way) and the '57 is probably the bass I would keep if I could only have one. Still looking out for a nice old P Bass. Just not found the one yet. Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tait Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 two great looking basses there!

dmz Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Very nice indeed ! Does the fretless have a "B" neck profile ? - looks a wee bit narrower than the 57. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took some getting used to after a very skinny necked Warwick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
