I stumbled upon this forum when a I did a search regarding 60th Anniversary P basses. I own two of them, so I thought that I would join in. I noticed the thread was elderly, so I decided to start a new one.
I love Precisions. I love how they feel, how they sound, etc... The look of a common P-bass has never stirred me because it's so... common. When the 60th Anniversary P came out it caught my eye. It is essentially an American Standard P, a bass that I love to play. But, they dressed it up with a 50's-ish guard and control plate and gave it a retro vibe.
The look is polarizing. Everyone I know either thinks Oooo, cool, or Ewww, um... not so cool.
I bought the sunburst one (of which they only made 125 of) in early 2012. It didn't take long for it to become my favorite bass. I sold my Am Std P as it was redundant and my Am std Jazz as it wasn't EVER getting played. Recently I stumbled upon a used blonde 60th and just had to buy it. The good news for my bank account is that they only came in two finishes.
The original thread didn't have any photos of one, so here is a photo of both of mine next to my 72 Tele bass and in front of my 1964 Leedy drum kit.
