Fender Basses / Re: Intriguing Antigua
« on: April 10, 2021, 02:49:06 PM »I have owned a couple and liked them, until I got my first early 70s P.
'78-'79 tend to be the heaviest, up to 11-12lbs and I've heard of 13lbs. '79 Jazz Basses. In my experience the heavier ones lack mids, especially those with maple necks. But wood isn't exact science.
That period was inbred with "SUSTAIN" brass at both ends of the strings and heavier bodies including inserting rods inside the body etc.
Didn't sound any better to me just easier to do whole notes.

Some of those 78' Precision are great players. Here's another chap extolling the virtues of the 78' vintage Fender P. In fact he says it's a better bass than his 68' P.
The P is shown after 3:30. Looks like a nice natural Alder. Perhaps it was an Antigua in a former life that didn't survive the unruly mobs of pitchfork wielding and paint stripping Antigua haters like Rob and Ilan
You can count on us!

Oxalic acid gives wood an older look. maybe that would work but you would still have to strip and refin it.
