I am hoping that one of you folks can help me identify a P Bass that I have aquired. First off, I am a long time P and J bass player(40+ years now) and I know my instruments well. This one is a bit mystifying though. She is Mexican made, 1995 by serial number. The instrument has all the features of a Precision Special but with a couple of differences. The pickups are EMG (P and J) and the bridge is a BadAss. Both the pickups and bridge appear to be "factory installed". While the other specials I have seen from this time frame have 2 stacked knobs, this one has 3 singles(chrome-domes). The finish is very close to a 'Mary Kay" being an opaque white with a very nice visual marbled grain visible. The pickguard is typical modified Tele Bass type and is black 3 ply. The headstock has only Fender Precision Bass as is typical of the specials I have seen.
Can any of you explain this P to me please?
thanks, Rick

Post some pics please, but it does sound like a 90s P-bass special.

Hey Guys, Haven't posted pics of the bass as I just got my camera back from my "wayward" brother. I will try to get a couple of clean pics and postby the weekend (if I can figure out how to post....my computer skills are suspect-heh).

Actually, I'm surprised that you did come back. We've had plenty of Q&V's lately. So take the pix and we'll be here. :)
