If I had a need of something in that ballpark and found a good one for a good price, the year matching would be a bonus. Not sure if you've ever tried one of the Precision Elites from that year. My friend had one at the time and I thought it was the coolest. Of course, I was 15 and didn't have much experience so no idea what I'd think of it now.

I haven't, but I would like to - especially the double P version. I've tried a nice Special and also a Lyte, which I was partial to; I rather like Fender's attempts to mess with the recipe in the 80s - would be nice to see a bit more of that these days!

Webby308 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Yep, I got lucky. It's always a risk with guitars that old, but thanks to a decent setup (Joe White Guitars), it plays as well as a new one, but has that nice worn in feel too. One of the conversations we have when I take it to a rehearsal or gig is wondering about it's history. We came to the conclusion guitars should have to have a history logbook type thing so you know where they've been... one of things I'll start when I'm ruler of the world... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz39 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I'm of the '76 vintage. Wonder what would be available that was decent from that year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hofner and Ricks would be a flat "No" from me, so I guess it'd be the Hayman, then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) I bought a 60s P-bass, as I'd had different year versions from the 80s onwards. I just found my self in a situation, about 11 years ago, where I had the time to look (time off work recovering after an opp at home), the gig money stored up wondering what to buy ...and then there it was. A 1961 players P, all original. I checked it out, all hung together and played beautifully....since then I have bought a Spitfire Scratch plate for it, the original was doing the usual shrinking thing and had it pinned to a piece of wood, and a new period case....love it Edited 9 hours ago by Petey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
