This particular instrument is also equipped with a custom ebony armrest and optional wooden ornament and ebony lid for the soundhole. with these you can change the acoustic sound as well.
The pickup in a magnetic [b]Rob Turner/ Ken Armstrong[/b] collaboration with an absolutely magic versality soundwise.

I work professionally as a bassplayer in Sweden/Scandinavia. I traded this instrument for an upright some years back and my ambition was to use it in some productions in studio/live but it has been a well kept secret in my cubbard. This piece of art must be played and I will sell for €4000 or a serious offer.
No trades? I might be interested in a custom color Fender P-bass before -71 ( no sunburst pls!!) depending on year and condition and I´m ready to take a fair and serious discussion. Thanks ! //Nils
