Brams77 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) Here is my bass a 1962 Precision one of the first laminated boarded ones. The sickest p I've player or owned to this day. Is got it from a great friend Peter Covington who playe it on "Astronaut" from the band Valar: https://soundcloud.com/valar-music/astronaut-4-26-13 I got it refinished this year, it was very tru to the original paint as the original paint was still under the pickguard, also all cavities have the original finish.. I have a sick sick sounding '63 RI precision but there is something with these original old ones that just is magical, nothing else can give you that.

NancyJohnson Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Blimey. It's quite interesting how the finishes have aged (or perhaps the original sunburst on the one at the front wasn't as red as the one at the back). Always had a soft spot for stack-knob Jazz basses. Lovely.

Just curious: early '66 really really really doesn't count as sort of Pre-CBS transition, right? Edited June 17, 2015 by BassAgent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 How come the 60s Olympic white finish stays white, but the 70s ones I've seen go custard colour? Something to do with lacquer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick's Fine '52 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 [sup]the earliest oly white finishes were Lucite acrylic, and many had no clear coat on top, so didn't fade. Later nitro finished with clear coats yellowed, I can provide more info on this tomorrow, when I have more time.[/sup] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
