Creeper Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 What about this mid 70s beast with matching dark Mocha fretboard?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bad stuff is notably lacking, but it's the so-so tort which doesn't do anything for me either way. Bad tort is ALWAYS terrible. Always....

jensenmann Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I have a ´74 Precision in mocha. It looks like derrière but sounds killer. If I find a non mocha P that sounds as good I´ll happily get rid of that insult for my eyes. But it didn´t happen upto now. It easily rivals my buddy´s 61 Precision. Chances are high that I will have to live with it for quite some more time, yuk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Not a massive fan of brown but oddly, I'm quite happy to put up with this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 And then of course there's stinky poo-Glo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the pickguard that is the offending item here. The whole bass would work a lot better with a cream or anodized gold guard. IMHO, of course.

Gold would work but might verge worryingly towards tasteful, certainly compared to its present amusing vulgarity. Amusing to me, that is. Cream would just be bland. Tried it with cream MOTO before & didn't really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creeper Posted December 6, 2017 Author Share Posted December 6, 2017 This baby is for sale in my local music shop, it was owned by the bassist from the Shadows, it’s a 1976 Mocha jazz bass, although they have rather wisely decided not to include any photos of the body, just this one shot of the headstock, probably a wise decision ?
