New here but not new to playing. I've been looking around and I think I'll be spending quite a good bit of time here!

Can someone point me to a '69 P Bass color chart?

Thanks Lawdaddy - I did check out BrotherDave's site earlier today. Lots of lots of great info to be found there!

But I did not see a '69 specific color chart.

And thanks for the welcome!

Too bad. If anyone knows, he will. Maybe he'll chime in.

From what i can tell they were still carrying the colors that were on the 1966 color chart. Were there any new ones? I know in '78 or so they came out with a bunch of new colors but I think the 1966 colors were in use for quite a while.

Very interesting. They had color charts into the 1970s? I have, in my 20 years of buying collecting & dealing in vintage basses & guitars, only seen a c.1964 & 1966 color chart. I have a 1969 Lake Placid Blue P Bass so I guess I'd be really interested in seeing a 69 color chart. I think the color choices must be a few added & removed between the color charts. Did all these charts contain actual paint chips like the mid 1960's ones?

The color charts I link to at brotherdave.com were actually paint on cardboard until 1970. After 1970 about all I can find are scans of photos from the Fender catalogs and brochures. I do know there were still actual paint on cardboard up until 1972 at least, but haven't got scans of them.
