Bigwan Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) I suspect I know the answer to this (that being "who knows"!) but I'll ask it anyway... Does anybody know why Fender have never released a 60s version of their Roadworn P bass? Best bass I've ever played is a friend's 64 precision. I'm never likely to own one myself (although I came close to buying a refinished '66 a few years ago) and, judging by the 60s Roadworn Jazz I used to own, a Roadworn 60s P, if such a thing existed, would be as close as I'd be likely to get! I know Fender do the USA 60s Reissue models but... Edited November 22, 2016 by Bigwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 No they didn't... Wish they had. Think Limelight might be your best shout here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattM Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Yup, this is a heavy relic Limelight 69 and they do lower levels of relic if required. Best P I've ever played...

Bigwan Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Yeah limelight have been on my radar, but they're not exactly vintage spec - modern neck profile, nut width and fretboard radius being the most obvious. Maybe that wouldn't matter so much, but I wouldn't know without playing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I`ve often wondered the same, am sure many would like the option of a Road Worn Precision with a rosewood fretboard and regular Precision width nut. I know they could then get, well why not a 70s Jazz etc, but a RW Precision with regular width nut, well I`d reckon the RW series would get a fair few more takers.

njr911 Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 As I own a sunburst 60's RW Jazz and the Flea 62 RW Jazz I'd be all over a 60's P in a cool custom colour. Sea foam green, LPB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
