Awww, man. That '75 P is everything.

Thanks guys. They truly are a nice pair. The Precision is not necessarily everything but pretty fucking good for '70s Fender. Light weight with a thick yet very comfortable neck and it sounds like any good Precision should. You know, even though I love looking at and drooling over vintage gear, I was never the one to shell out the kind of cash it sells for. The old stuff that I do have I got stupidly good deals on because they were 'broken' and not completely 'original'. But... I committed a grave mistake with these two. I never asked to borrow these, the cool dude offered them to me and I said 'yeah, sure!'. A year and a half after the fact I'm way too attached to let them go so I'll have to make them officially mine no matter how much I end up paying for them.

I hear you, I have a 74 P that I started on my dad bought in 90 for $200 and I kind'a adopted it and became a bassist [which was his actual evil plan…. he's a drummer, they are all evil…] it to me is everything a P should be.. medium width neck, light and has the right sound.. I've had to replace almost everything on it over the years but it is still what it always was

Man, I'd like to see a picture of that '74! 'My' '75 has already had the pickguard replaced before I got it. It doesn't fit very well but I'd like to replace it with a flat black single ply pickguard in the future. The coils on the pickup are very frail too. When I got it it was crackling and cutting out and sure enough both coils were intermittent. Luckily it was on the outside windings so I solder them together and voila! I may need to either rewind them or just replace them with something else before I start gigging. They've been feedbacking quite badly lately too so potting them might solve the issues with them.

here it is with my 74 ric

The pickup died a few years ago and I replaced it with a antiquity, sounded the same as the original

Damn. That Pbass is a beaut. And that fretless Rick!

So nice... Everyday is an awful reminder of my Rick-less existence.

I'd like to try a Ric again. I fucking HATED the 4003 I tried at Guitar Center. It was very hard to play. The neck might have been fucked? I don't know. I remember playing a 4001 when I was 16 and digging it.

There is a reason why all three of mine are over 30 years old.. I don't like the necks on the new ones as much.. plus they are just more badass sounding

I really want to put a ric bridge pickup in my mustang bass.

New bass new bass new bass! A Vigier Excess fretless, got it used yesterday. Wasn't sure I was ready to spend this kind of money on a bass when I went into the shop, but this is so cool I just had to have it.





Metal fingerboard with no strings:



New Labella flats on:



Sounds awesome, fretless + fuzz is brilliant, and it plays sooo nicely. Plus I think it looks hella cool.

Sweeeeeeet
