uk_lefty Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Often thought of this as a nice to have... I'm an 84 man so suppose that's Aria SB? And it would have to be lefty also... Not a lot of choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevorR Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 [quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1493909827' post='3291768'] Or the five string Stingray he used for some tracks on BSSM, if the Wal was so good why didn't it get on tour? Maybe they are crap live [/quote] He's quoted as saying it was too posh and boutique looking for a hard man of rock like him to be seen with on stage... #invertedsnob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Some time between 1960 and 1964 - more likely towards the latter date due to the rosewood board. Does it actually have a date stamp or sticker on it? It's in better condition than mine: [IMG]http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n249/BigRedX/DSC01541-2.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassbiscuits Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Mine would be something from 1974 then - maybe one of the last four-bolt neck Fender Jazzes? That would do me nicely in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrig Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Me? 1951, the same year as the birth of the Precision! If only I had about £50,000 to spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliwailer Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I once spent years looking at every jack plate on a Ric 4001 looking for 'RC' as that's March 1978. Eventually found a lovely Autumnglo bass with RC, and soon realised that owning a Ric wasn't as much fun for me back then as GAS'ing for one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful what you wish for and all that! Me, I'm 1972 so ideally I'd love a 72 fretless Precision but they are a bit too pricey for me now. I've seen a YOB Fender Tele bass which is doable, but I fear I may not get on with just the one neck mudbucker. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for one that has already been bastardised with a second pickup (cheaper and more versatile) - if anyone sees one...

Players ones can still be found cheap and early ones can have a great mojo. I used a 71 Musicmaster Bass solidly for a few years with a PJ pickup combo, sounded excellent and to the point that a decent Producer I did some sessions for said to me "make sure you bring that bass!". It would have made an awesome Picollo bass, and I had plans for that but then I was able to use long scales again following an injury and sold it to buy a vintage Fender long scale. Would have been a very cool bass to keep back then if I could have.,., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Stu Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 [quote name='Graham' timestamp='1493876870' post='3291410'] I initially thought this thread was about Aaron Rieseberg, which would make the YOB bass a Rickenbacker or EGC [/quote] I was thinking along other lines too from the thread title, would a bass version of this work?

Bridgehouse Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) 74 for me. Took a real flier on this one but it's absolutely perfect and isn't going anywhere.. Edited May 6, 2017 by Bridgehouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Stingray 62 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Jan 5th 1962 so if anyone has got a sunburst p bass with Jan 5th stamped on the neck get in touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
