Picked this up a while ago as a first venture into P bass land. It has been fantastic, so much so that I've now got another couple of Ps and this one doesn't get played. Time to move it on. This model is discontinued now to the best of my knowledge and this particular bass is not stock. I believe it has a different pickguard to the original and has had a tone control fitted as well. The current pickup is a bartolini which I fitted myself. I plan to use this elsewhere so the original will be back in for the buyer. If you really wanted it with the bart in I guess we could work something out. Also, I have a spare black P guard so if you would prefer black to the pearl one that's currently fitted then I'll happily swap them over. I may also have the original chrome knobs if you prefer to the current chicken head ones. So lots of options! The bass is currently in Norwich so you are welcome to try or collect. I'm pricing to sell so It doesn't come with a gig bag and if you want it posted that's extra.

Sorry mate, can you keep it down in this thread please

Perfection! Shame no trades!

Great amps. I'm interested if the sale doesn't go ahead.

Plated something similar in the gallery some time ago. Quite unique, dream to play and an absolutely killer slap tone.

Lovely reverb but not quite what I'm after. Will chuck a pic up shortly but in excellent condition in original box. Priced for quick sale - no trades please

No mooer interest in this?

Very nice tiny format bitcrush. Not too much to say really, all fairly obvious and straightforward etc. Any questions pm me! Cheers, Abd

Pics to follow but nice and clean. Velcro on the bottom. Great octave tiny footprint. Price includes UK postage or collect from Norwich if you prefer... Cheers Abd

Bumping for poss the final time before the gallery. Come on folks, let's get something done here: GBP 1,650 for outright cash sale Or pricing at around GBP 1,800 for trades or part-ex P basses, money, trained dwarves, infinity stones - what's out there....? Cheers! Abd

Nice. Not helping my gas!

DON'T MAKE ME TRUCK THIS ROUND THE TUBE IN TWO WEEKS TIME!!!!! Let's get a deal done folks, hit me up with trades or a bag 'o' cash....

Can you use this passive as well or is the circuit always on?

Is this just trade or for sale too?

Haha no worries Henry. The 5 is great and it has the barts which I think are fabulous on these basses. Never got around to replacing them on this bass. There is certainly some great aquatic wildlife on the forum right now! 🐬

Yes! I had to source one from Australia in the end. Am I going backwards here? Perhaps but what's very clear to me is that it has to work well in a live setting and my playing is currently in a place where I need what I need so to speak. A few different pedals for different voices that I can control on the fly. Funnily enough though I'm also using a Mobius and an ES5 for patch changes, not exactly simples but it just seems to work somehow. Anyway - why is this still here? There must be some mad scientists out there who want to destroy the internal organs of their audience with some synth goodness.....? Hit me up!

So BC is going Dolphin mad now with Henry moving not one but two of his (the blue one is particularly sick imo). Lot's of interest in this one but still here so far. First and only price drop to £1,650 for a quick cash sale, price stays as is for porpoises of any trades. I'll be at the Victor Wooten Gallery session later this month (no idea who he is but the Prince Albert does a particularly good sausage and mash). This will go with me, transported in it's own special saltwater transit tank, for the Gallery guys to sell for me. Let's find it a home before then. Px trades are still welcome, especially for: P basses Spector Euro or similar - a 6 would be awesome Other things considered of course..! Must realise a decent wedge of cash from any deal though Happy Sunday all x

I love this as it's completely bonkers. In reality does it work though? You've got ead on the fretless then eadg on the fretted? So you can essentially switch like a double neck but with just the one neck? Could you switch each side on/off to help with the muting?

Haha, thanks mate. I'll post some later, but most bits you can see. Around the edge is an ehx freeze, digitech ricochet, Tc nova repeater, oc2 and a t16. All runs through a boss es5, source audio reflex and the expressionator that you can see. Power from a strymon which is awesomely noise free, even with naughty moogs. It'll change soon for the reasons I described. The squaver will come off and be replaced by an ie xerograph deluxe, ie subterranea and a zvex mastotron.

Hi max, thank you but really looking for a more traditional p style bass Regards Abd

I think b has a trim pot so you can fine tune the gain and overall input. Same as the heart Rock, works really well to get just the right level

Is this too fruity even for basschat...? Money, trades, px or healthy organs all considered...

Really nice, reminds me of a bass gag: Guy walked into the rehearsal and says to the bassist, "lovely looking bass, what are all the knobs for?" "Well, one plays guitar, one plays drums....." Glwts!

Agree - ADSR would give some more options but I found that the sweep of envelope options as actually pretty darn usable. There wasn't much I couldn't find, problem comes back to the fact that once you need to change it you are down to fine tuning and on a gig it just doesn't work so well for me. If I had the budget and a roadie to schlep all the gear about I would love to try it with a subphatty. The is some maths for this I believe; (Bass+Squaver+Subphatty)^n=sick. n = talent btw!
