yeah they robbed alot of grolsch bottle tops for there shoes!

i had a 77 P and rocked double denim in late 80s too

nice bass

i watched it very enjoyable then i watched the glen campbell film thats was good too

yeah if i had a roadie i would have a big amp, i like to feel the breeze of the bass around my ankles.

looks good wouldnt fancy lugging it around though.

is it the router hump on the lower cutaway?

I feel your pain,I bought a fernandes revival bass from a reverb seller in italy.

I think it is a 1981 model and it arrived looking in really good shape 

but It also had neck issues,similar to the ones you described and the truss rod was tight 

I ended up using the washer trick and that got it straighter and to complete I clamped the neck straight and manage to get some more movement on the truss rod and now its got a nice low action and plays great 

was a learning curve but I really wanted to keep the bass as the neck is really nice and comfortable for me 

hope yours turns out to be ok.

Have pm'd you

my 1979 Ibanez roadster is 5.5kg 12lb odd, i like it as it reminds me of my 77 precision i had
not sure if its the weight or the natural finish that reminds me of it though

i have the maple versiomn of this weighs a ton but the tone is unmistakeable, good enough for phil lynott,check out rockpalast gig same bass as yours.

most of my basses have a ding or two.doesnt bother me much,i'd rather they where played.

actually mine was the black fender decal and I think it said squier series on it.

I owned one was ok,having owned an early mexican fender also,im not sure there was much difference
same machineheads ceramic pickup etc.

yeahi watch some of his stuff,seems a very polite and knowledgeable chap.

I have a vintage white v4 and I can't believe how good it is, excellent fit and finish and mine has a really low action.
Good luck with the sale.

i had one of these same colour with a maple neck was a brilliant bass,good luck with the sale.

yes that would of been there originally,you can see it on the reissue jazz basses.

I use a silver series p bass as my main gigging bass,nice lightweight and sounds great.

is that the cricket ground?i work out of the hospital just behind it.

oh i like that very tempting.

I saw that and thought it was an encore,they have changed the string tree and neck plate,still has the original machineheads though.

really shocked to hear this,great voice and talent,will be sadly missed.

I saw that, I dont know lots of laquer cracking and an extra string tree.

im born 31st december 1971,I would like a 1971 p bass.
although I spose a 1972 would still be nice.
