Chiliwailer Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Blame it on the GAS. I couldn't really afford this one but it was offered to me last night and I just couldn't say no. My mate owned this for about 6 months as a spare to his other identical one, but now he's using Modulus so this was up for sale.i always liked it so when he bought it over I couldn't resist, especially as I have a gaping big hole for a Precision, and that has been bugging me since I sold my last one as I wasn't getting along with the tone. It was also an odd purchase as I don't usually go for white basses, this is well out of my comfort zone. But, it's a stunning bass and it sounds and feels incredible. To my taste it's the nicest feeling neck I've played on a CS Precision, I guess that's why I'm overlooking the colour and couldn't resist buying it? I've had quite a few Precisions from 1963-66 and this one sits very nicely with them, only cheaper Still, this is not yet being classed as a 'keeper' and could end up in the for sale section due to future cash flow or colour appreciation issues.... I hope it stays and that I find a way to keep it, sure is gorgeous and looks a treat with my other 2 CS basses. EDIT: Oh yeah, it's a made in 2014, 1964 Relic Edited October 18, 2014 by Chiliwailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiliwailer Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 [quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1413014570' post='2574085'] That is gorgeous [/quote] Cheers pal. I came so close to buying a Mike Lull P4 when I visited Seattle recently but couldn't get the price right so I'm glad this one fills that gap. Both are great basses so I'm happy to have one of them. Looks like my hunt for a 5 string is now over too, the P Bass always wins in the end with me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 You can beat a good P Bass I have a feeling my CS Jazz will eventually become something P Bass-shaped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you just got her back too, I really like your Jazz, great colour. I get the feeling my new P Bass may become car shaped if I don't find a way to keep it. But I'm trying my damned hardest not to let that happen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miles'tone Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 The colour is spot on, what I'd actually ask for if I was ordering one! She's perfick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliwailer Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Thanks again! Played it a lot last night, not a good idea as I may need a shoulder operation and I needed whiskey and pain killers to get me through, but we all know it's worth it really! This 64 really compliments my CS 55 Precision, they are so different in tone yet the quality is well matched so its a great addition to the fold. I'm even getting my head around the colour, which is great as I've always been stuck on sunburst so it's nice to be appreciating other colour P's too.

(And of course I'll be sure to do this properly and donate some cash to the good folks of Basschat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
