Laura Ballance's Bass Guitars
Was there any particular reason you settled on the ’79 Precision Bass you’re most known for playing? I imagine a ‘70s Precision would have been heavy, rough on the shoulder, and hard to cram into a van.
1979 Fender Precision Bass My ’79 Precision Bass is actually remarkably light for one of those. It’s the lightest P Bass I have ever lifted. I have no idea if the body is original. It has a strange candy apple kind of finish, which I imagine is not standard. This could be a sign that someone switched the body out. I’m really not a huge gear head still, so I don’t know how to tell.
I feel like it belonged to someone in a reggae band before me—I think that’s what the guy at the store where I got it said. Due to its relative lightness, I’m super committed to that bass. I have even gone so far as to say that if anything ever happens to it, I would quit playing. Turns out, something happened to my ears first, so now I hardly play anyway.
