Cosmo Valdemar Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 A '54-style Precision with no scratchplate. Deep quilted top, maple cap neck with stripes. Squier CV profile neck, not the traditional 50s baseball bat. Any vintage toned single coil P pickup. DR Hi Beams 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Still trying to work out what the best for resale value would be. It's not easy because so many people on here have orgasms at every dull as ditchwater P or J that there's a picture of. I reckon a 4-string fretted P in oly white or lake placid blue, tort pickguard, standard electronics and then I could name my price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider if you will, the unmistakable groovy timbre only available from a bass that's always lived in one o' them luvly cases (with the green lining, natch..) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, I could just get Jon Shuker to build me a headless version... oh god, the GAS strikes... This, with an inline 5-string, reversed headstock, would look great, IMO. Might need to change the colour to a solid bright white, with black hardware and matching headstock. (EDIT : I'd change them damn clover leaf tuners as well.)
