[quote name='richardd' post='1042083' date='Nov 30 2010, 10:44 AM'] Hi Nick.Think you have an extra zero on your new price, [/quote] Thanks Rich, all sorted. My cunning plan to put the price up by £10,000 was foiled!!

[quote name='Clarky' post='1031816' date='Nov 21 2010, 08:26 PM']As a third party, I can tell you Steve that its a lovely player. Nick brought the bass round to mine a few weeks ago and I had a quick noodle on it. Its light, mojo'd in a tasteful way, and an all-round cracking P bass.[/quote] Thanks Clarky I am happy to accept trades plus cash for a new US Series Jazz bass (either 4 or 5 string), or a 62 Reissue Jazz if anyone has one they don't want

[quote name='StevieD_FenderP2009' post='1031784' date='Nov 21 2010, 08:12 PM']Very sorry to hear it nick. Hopefully everything works out for you. Got a question for you though, do you know what wood the body is made from? and also, how bad is the wearing on the neck? I can't properly tell from the pictures Cheers[/quote] Hi Steve I'm pretty certain the body is Ash. The wear on the neck is actually minimal. There are a few small lacquer chips on the back and there is the wear on the G string side but that's about it and it's very smooth with no flaking at all. I had a 76 P bass before and it hadn't faired so well as this one.

How about a sunburst f*** All in mint condition?

Had a bit of a tragedy last night when at the end of our gig my amp bag was half-inched as we were packing away I asked the singer to watch the kit as we packed by but being a singer, he knew far better and as a result my amp bag and the guitarist's kit bag were swiped. My amp (a Little Mark Tube 800) will probably be seen turning up in Kingston/Surbiton Crack Converters at some stage but until then I need to replace it. After having spent the best part of £1,000 on new tyres I have decided to move this wonderful bass on as my other Basses have far more sentimental value to me despite being far lesser basses. Anyway, I have a 1976 Fender P Bass for sale in Natural/black/maple. It is all original and weighs approximately 8lbs 4oz so is a very comfortable bass. Sounds-wise it does everything from Motown to the really bitey Stranglers/Jam sound. It's in pretty good condition with wear on the top horn and lacquer crazing on the body. The G side of the neck has wearing too either by a wedding ring or just a sweaty hand It's a well-used bass that has been played regularly. Other than the wear in parts there are no dings or anything and it's in good nick for its age. Structurally it's excellent with a decent neck pocket but with the usual treble-side neck joint which is a few mm wider than the neck. Pickup and electronics are original and working perfectly. The neck is in great condition and the frets are fine (and original). The only thing of note is that the trussrod end (the cross hatch) has one of the quarters broken off it (pictured). It still works perfectly and the trussrod is fine. The end can easily be replaced too with minimal work needed (see [url="http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Truss_rods/Adjusting_nuts/Fender-style_Slotted_Truss_Rod_Nut.html)"]http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Truss_rods/Adj...s_Rod_Nut.html)[/url] Clarky has played this and compared it favourably to his 72 P bass and it comes with a Gator padded case (similar to the Sadowksy). There are no ashtrays or thumb rest unfortunately. This is a very reluctant sale and I am looking for £1,150 for it. It's easily the best P bass I've owned or played and I'm not the happiest Bunny in the world at the moment! [b]I would consider trades for a new series Fender USA 4/5 string Jazz bass or 5 string P Bass plus cash my way, a new series Fender Jazz Deluxe 5 with cash my way or a Sadowsky MV5 with rosewood board or possibly a Rickenbacker 4003.[/b]

Still available

BUMP to include a set of genuine US Fender tuners (unused) in the deal. The tuners are the exact model for this neck so will fit without any need for surgery

I'm selling a brand new (never fitted) black pickguard for a Fender US 62 P bass (with thumb rest and ashtray screw holes) and a box of Fender pickguard scews in chrome. SOLD

Not sure if this is in the right forum, but I am selling a genuineFender USA fretless P bass neck with rosewood lined board (in superb condition) from 1996 (Serial number N614). This is a stock fretless neck, not altered retrospectively. I also have a set of genuine Fender US tuners (unused) to go with this neck which I'll throw in to the mix. I have this on Ebay currently with a fair amount of interest but will let it go on here for £275 plus £7.50 P&P.
