    Ace, year of birth as well- thank God I haven’t got any more kids to sell

     

    Same here and that really appeals. Fortunately for me I don't really like sunburst and seems that was the only colour choice in 73!

     

    Great bass though and excellent condition, glwts

  2. Gorgeous Sei PJ 4. I'd had my eye on this bass for around 6/7 years and finally got the chance to purchase it summer last year. It is wonderful in every respect but somehow I just don't gel with it, I can't explain that....

     

    As you can see it's a traditional P body style and a very retro tele headstock. Every other aspect of the bass is pretty modern though.

     

    Finish is burgendy mist, matching headstock

    Alder body, maple through neck

    Rosewood board, beautifully figured

    24 fret, 34 scale (it might be a fraction under 34 - 33 7/8 ish..)

    Slim jazz neck - I would describe it as a racing neck

    Weight approx 4kg based on my not particularly accurate scales

    Satin chrome hipshot tunes, drop key on the E string

    East preamp - vol/blend, passive tone w push/pull for passive, bass/treble stack with high frequency boost pull, mid/mid freq stack

    White side LEDs

    Nordstrand pickups

     

    Comes with a retro tweed hardcase

     

    sale or trade, I’m looking for a quality 4/5 p or j, passive. Molloon for example…

  3. Beautiful 6 and a pleasure to play. Slightly shorter scale but the construction of the neck makes it superstiff, great B but a sweet C as well. ACG filter system plus passive tone.

     

    Wonderful voice for mids and fingerstyle imo. It's a truly wonderful instrument and perfectly fitted what I was after last year, unfortunately though my musical circumstances have changed hugely and I rarely play this outside of the house now. My sense is to move it on but let's see what happens.

     

    I'll leave it here and pickup on any questions you may have. Quick pic for now but will add some more in due course:

  4. Ok so this is a bitsa. Based however on a very nice ash body from Philip Kubicki. So you could almost call it a Fender. Not that I would. But you could.

     

    Perhaps.

    I picked this up some time ago from Beedster at the start of my voyage into precision basses. I'm pleased to say this has developed into an obsession so strong it makes a serious class A addiction look like a take it or leave it weekend thing. As a result I have too many P basses now. Same old story.

     

    The neck is a very nice allparts from Walshy, hipshot lollipop tuners. Works very well with the body. Kigon loom V/T + V/T. The P bass pickup is a fairly hot bartolini, the bridge a fender I believe (would need to check this though).

     

    All in all it works well as a P bass. To my ears the bridge pickup has never really worked that well, it lacks 'mass', but it does add some bite if required. 95% of the time though I stick to the P pickup.

     

    The plate is much redder in real life - I've tried to capture it but no luck!

     

    Price is ex shippin but includes a basic gigbag. I could post with the case it's pictured in if you like but would ask a few more quids for the case pls.

     

    Any questions let me know!
