Nibody Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) I used to own (1990's) a P bass that I bought from the former bass player of 70's band Ginty. It was sold as a 1976 fender (though with gaining more knowledge and the internet growing I doubt all of it was if any of it). Finnish was basically this (he had it refinished in the 80's I believe) with a maple neck, matching burst headstock and a solid brass pickguard. I sold it in 2001ish. Miss it like hell. Interested to know if anyone has seen a P bass in this finish (a candy purple burst) Edited August 20, 2020 by Nibody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because that isnt actually the bass (its just a triiibuuute..) - I just came across that picture on a US site of a guy that does refinnishes and the colour/burst is identical to my old bass (used to call it cadburys burst) I only have two pics of the old girl and I have no idea where they are Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 There are similar ones about in solid colours, but if you want a purple burst, it might be easier getting one refinished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Yes, If you want a body colour like a hooker's boudoir .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oopsdabassist Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I think the colour in the 1st pic is wonderful, I have a bitsa in purple burst, nowhere near as pretty as that though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im just curious what happened to my old bass as it was such an unusual finish - and very well done by whoever did it. I have a body sprayed up , (badly) in cadburys purple and a spare can of black gloss nitro - might attempt a burst myself at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
