Hello All,
think this is my first post, though I've been a lurker here for sometime
Here's my '84 Hard Puncher, not sure what model it is, maybe a PB40(?)
Had it for about twenty years. In that time had many basses come & go, but this has always remained in my collection. It's generally my go-to bass & probably my main one, when I need a bass with roundwounds (I have a MIJ '62 RI strung with flats for other tones)
I changed the stock pickup a long time ago for a Seymour Duncan SPB-1 'Vintage', added the tortoishell pickguard, recently fitted a John East P-Retro preamp (which is fantastic) & it's strung with DR nickel Lo-Riders.
Everything else is stock, though I've been thinking about replacing the tuners for last ten years.
The neck is fast, not far off a jazz bass width & with a deep U profile - similar to a 70's P-Bass, lovely to play. I've even had couple of folks with Lakland & Sadowsky basses compliment this old beauty on it's tone & feel.
Cheers
Nick
