Hey JB....old Fenders at reasonable prices can still be found if you look hard enough

With the assistance of Dave Pascoe, this little beauty, an early '68 P Bass, is being added to my collection. The deal was done at $1400

I should also mention that she's a body-only refin, with newer pots.

Here's another photo, this time being modelled by that classic rock-god himself, Mr Dave Pascoe! (imagine serious baritone kick-*** rock DJ voice):-

That's "Hook 'em Horns" Pascoe.

I took her out last night to my job (for sea trials).

I really liked how light weight it was. It had a ton of tone and it was very warm sounding.

I did miss the sustain and "snap" of a Ric however (which is what I normally play).

Darren you promised not to post that picture. It's a good thing that I didn't pose in the school girl outfit, which was what you originally asked for.

BTW, I did a little better on the price.

$1378.00 including tax...

Well shoot! Nice pick-up, Trotty/Dave?

Where'd you find it?

JB, it's called The Murder Barn. We'll explain at SoCal.

Me too, me too!

I'm waiting for this one... In the customs office right now.

There are still deals out there...You just have to keep looking.

Anything pre CBS is a far different animal though, but the late 60's Fender's do rate as very good value for money.

Oly white w/tort and sunburst w/tort...2 of my faves! Congrats guys!

I bought my first good bass in 1971, looked exactly like the Sunburst above.
