Delberthot Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 (edited) I am in the 'hate it' camp, its about as wrong a colour as you can get - kind of a cross between puss and sputum - Warmoth now do finishes in this colour along with matching scratchplate [url="http://www.warmoth.com/Paint/Burst.aspx"]http://www.warmoth.com/Paint/Burst.aspx[/url] 4th one along from the top left - knock yourself out Edited November 15, 2009 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocco Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 That's a sweet looking jazz but I need more!!! I first discovered this colour when walking past Electric Lady Land in Bristol and there were matching p-bass and tele in this colour in the window, they grabbed my attention straight away and I've loved it ever since.

cocco Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 If my Jazz didnt have a red headstock it would be getting a new body right about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Bass Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 It reminds me of zombies and therefore i love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I love it. I had one of the early reissues on a CIJ tele but these were much greener than the 70s ones. I'd love an original 70s P-bass if I could afford one. I know they are not to everyone's tastes but my view has always been "I'm the one who is playing it!". The tele is long gone but it served me well. Incidentally there were some great pics of these on Basschat when I did a search for them the other week.

He has two of them in fact, a Rosewood boarded Fretted one, and a maple board fretless. They are upstairs at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like ANY of those basses. But my constant pestering Anthomp gets me no where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching a P-bass on EBay that I forgot about recently that went for £1000. I love that collection shot of yours. An incredible collection.

anthomp Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Ive picked them up over the last 5 yrs ranging from £800 for the the P without pickguard plus shipping from USA to £2500 i bought a fretless and a fretted together which are in amazing condition one ding on the f/less and the only problem with the fretted is.. it has spent so much time in its case the red lining of the case has slightly coloured the bottom of the bass if anyone knows how to treat that, i'd be well interested antony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really awesome idea for a collection. I love the P-bass of yours that is fairly centre stage. They all look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
