wateroftyne Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 ...so far, I prefer the neck of the 50s. As for the rest... time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 You can really go off people you know: showoff!! They do look very nice, the colour combo on the 50s one is amazeballs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Nice 👌, I looked at a 60s one recently, is there much of a difference in sound between the two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjones Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 They look real purty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Horse Murphy Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Snap! Well, half snap anyway. I just picked up a 50's P Bass in a trade for a Sax I wasn't using. Its absolutely mint and still had the plastic over the tuning pegs. I've just set it up and restrung it and love it. I prefer it to the 60's AO I had for a while. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) How many Precisions do you have now, WoT? Not tempted to go back to a Jazz as an alternative (I remember you had a beautiful early 70s 3TSB/rosewood/blocks some years ago)? PS,both are beauties Edited September 4, 2022 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH I didn't intend to buy a couple of new P's (I'm still holding out for something early 70's), but I liked the look of 'em.

That’s interesting, some of the descriptions I read say they are thick C shaped which is is why I never followed up on them, I’ll have another look at those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9.5" neck radius is probably making it feel even shallower.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merello Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 I've heard it's seven years bad luck to have two 'clashing' P-Bass guitars in one place. A bit like crossing the beams in Bassbusters.......only cure is to send one up to Scotland for 'cleansing' then switch them over.....honest....😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
