I reckon you'd regret swapping that for a jazz mate. It reminds me of Norman Watt-Roy's original rhythm stick converted 70s P bass. I can vouch for Dave Dearnaley's craftsmanship - he sets up all my basses and built one for me a few years ago! The guy's a genius imo. The guitars he builds from scratch are incredible!

I was in Wunjo's a couple of weeks ago and finally got my hands on a special. F**k me I was impressed! It was an all black, roasted maple board bass with fingerprints all over it. My No.1 bass is a 62 relic Custom shop P but if they had offered me a straight swap I would have. It was so light and easy to play... and that neck! Plugged in it was so versatile and punchy - the new pickup (single H version) and pre were amazing. So much so that I didn't want to try any other bass in there. Every slight of turn of the eq was valid plus finger placement really made such a difference. As a purely p bass guy these days I was sold! I used to play an 86 Stingray for many years but these specials are in a different league. The only negative - for want of a better word - was that acoustically the ray was not as vibrant or 'alive' sounding as my custom shop, but the new eq is the bomb and more than compensates. Imho the specials have lost nothing of the Stingray sound but gained so much more. Smitten!

Just received a nice leather strap off Dave. Great comms and although I said there was no rush, it was delivered promptly anyway. Thank you Dave, much appreciated! 👍

Simply stunning! The perfect size and shape P neck imho. Bet it resonates like a MoFo. GLWTS 😎

Beautiful 'burst there. Looks like a good un, especially for that price. GLWTS although I doubt you'll need it! 😗

Thanks for the heads up regarding all of the above. Sounds like he's the perfect new vein I need to mine! 👍

Pm'd..

Withdrawn.

I read that as Has Anyone Seen The Pogues? I really should stop drinking and get some sleep..

Price dropped to £300. Killer tone and volume for trouser-flapping peanuts!

Now up on eBay and elsewhere.

I've got a good new one that I'm going to sell. I'll PM you at lunch time. I'm paid up btw mods! 🙂

Price drop to £325.

Oh I like this.. a lot! Love what you've done here👍 I'm sorted for a decent P sorry but someone is going to be very happy! You, hopefully when you come to your senses. 😉✌️

Nice bass, but that's 60's configuration not 70's. Glwts.
