Medium Scale P Basses

Post by sblueplanet »

After much searching I managed to find an elusive 32” P bass. I got a Squier one from a guy in Finland. After a few heads up from members on here I secured another from Canada.
Both came with white pickguards of which, I’m not a fan, so I had a gold anodised one and a red tort one made, which both compliment the vintage white paint jobs.

So... you wanted one so much that now you have two?? :P
That's awesome, they are so hard to come by, makes sense to grab then while you can.
Both white? Even better! I like the look of both pickguards too, congrats!

The reason both are same colour is that I don’t think there was much of an option for these colour-wise, vintage white or black is all I have spotted except for the one that turned up in France recently in a lake placid blue.
Who knows, if I can find others I may end up having some in nice refins such as fiesta red and sunburst 8-)

There is another one just posted on the spotted section. Looks in good shape.

Nice score.

White P-basses sound the best.

And white/tort/rosewood is the best combo.

People may have other opinions; those people are wrong.

If Henry Ford ran Fenders Left Handed Bass Division:

You can have medium scale P bass in any color you want as long as it's white!
