In the past few years, I've looked all over the place for an early '60s CS P-Bass relic and I've seen at the most two or three different models while there are many more choices for the Jazz Bass, and literally hundreds of early '60s Stratocasters and Telecaster relics. I have seen a few different '50s P-Bass relics but the only '60s relic I've seen was a 1961 Sunburst model, which is beautiful, but why so few to choose from? I would love to see a "Brian Wilson" model: 1962 Olympic White with white pickguard. That would be very cool! :D

Looking for a Brian Wilson '62 P? I've found a picture of the bass you're talking about. It's a Mexico Standard model of 1998 (not mine, IMHO) in a mint New Old Stock condition. The closest thing you might expect from a battered old original '62 P-Bass.

Here is a picture of the Beach Boys with then new member Bruce Johnston holding Brian Wilson's '63 P-Bass:

I've noticed that the tone control is missing in many pictures of this bass. Brian's first P-Bass was a '62 Sunburst but this is the one for which he is most well known. Apparently Carl's '63 OW Jaguar is now in the Orlando Hard Rock Cafe, Al's '63 OW Stratocaster was stolen in the late '70s, but does anyone know what happened to this bass? Does Brian still have it?
