Clarky Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) Here's my collection of 70s Fenders (not as bright a day as I had hoped so pics slightly dark but hey, porn is porn!) First all three [attachment=44711:clarky_basses_037.JPG][attachment=44722:clarky_basses_036.JPG] Then my newly-acquired 76 fretless P-bass (am getting a tort s/p made by Bass Doc so I have the choice of authentic black or a Jamerson-alike livery to match my 72 P) [attachment=44715:clarky_basses_039.JPG] Next up my 72 P-bass [attachment=44716:clarky_basses_040.JPG] Then my two Ps together [attachment=44717:clarky_basses_035.JPG] Since writing this I have sold the 73 Jazz (just don't get on with Jazzes) Edited April 11, 2010 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Hey Clarky, very nice indeed - but you seem to be turning into WoT. When you get that correct tort pickguard on the fretless will you also be moving the thumb rest to make it a tug bar like on the other two?

EdwardHimself Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I dunno if i could stand having 3 sunburst fender basses but hell i mean if it works for you then that's the important thing at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray5 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have to ask, Clarky - got a fave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Well, SR5, my current fave is the fretless, never was the phrase 'plays like butter' more appropriate, its just lovely. If I'm cold-heartedly honest though, once the thrill of the new has worn off, I am sure I will go back to my 72 Precision. Its light, vibrant, very beefy sounding even for a P-bass, and plays really well. I am lucky to have the choice and I do appreciate the fact. TBH, I'm not really a Jazz man, I do prefer the way a Precision hangs, plays, sounds and feels, so I'm not so sure about the long-term prognosis for the Jazz, looker though it is. I should probably keep it as I will not always be in a noisy punk band and I expect it to at least keep its value. It is unfortunately though likely to stay stored away in its tweed case for the time being. Edited March 13, 2010 by Clarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do still have my Oly White P-bass 'Sid', ET, if that proves I am not some kind of psychopathic, Munchausen's-by-bass-proxy stalker for Wot! Indeed if I had unlimited funds I would also have an Oly White Tony Franklin fretted Precision with P/J pickups and maple board. And a Fender Pino Palladino.

guybrush threepwood Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 That jazz is absolutely lovely! Don't keep it in it's case, play it - it deserves it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Cheers Clarky - onto my desktop goes the top pic , as WOT's did a while back. Just as well I'm not your neighbour - you'd be sick of the sight of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
