Battery is not hooked up to anything right - passive circuit? How does the pickups’ output level compare to standard passives, eg fender P bass pickup?

Indeed, the circuit is passive, but installing a preamp is easier having this battery box already installed.

Pickups output level is equal to standard jazz and/or precision pickups.

Forgot to mention, neckplate plus screws are included.

Loaded Precision body, solid alder. Neck pocket fits nice and tight Fender/Squier/AllParts/Warmoth necks.

Used, but good condition. 

Original black finish, String-through option and 9V battery compartment on the back,

loaded with 2 Bartolini BB4C humbuckers, Custom made pickguard, new top loaded

bridge in black, CTS pots & orange drop capacitor, flat dome knobs & thumbrest.

Controls and volume, tone and a 3 way switch for pickup selection. Each pickup has a 3 way toggle switch 

for single/serial/parallel mode. 

With the neck attached the bass weight was 4.0 kg.

Shipping £15

The neck was just sold, so the loaded body is still available.

Will make new pics tomorrow.

Are you able to record any sound samples? Or can you say what it sounds similar to? With all those options, do you reckon it's a slightly more tame G&L L2000? 

A G&L L2000 would  come close, sound- and optionwise, although the Barts do have they own character. 

You could say; in single mode it's like a jazz, in parallel mode it's like a precision and serial mode a precision on steroids.

Nice bass. 👍

I was curious if the bass was inspired by Jeff Berlin's old instrument? I know his was a little different, especially in relation to the positioning of the pickups, but just thought there might be a connection.

I did not build it myself, but indeed the position of the pickups is different than Jeff Berlin's bass.

Another angle

Picture of the body routing, new wood was used to fill the original big gap. 

Thanks for the comments. 😊

Are these thunderbird pickups ?

No, these are not thunderbuckers. But they sound really awesome,

Do you have a picture of how is the body routed under the pickguard ?

I don't, but will make a picture tomorrow.

I bought Will's P bass, and everything went smooth as silk. Will is a great guy and a real asset to the BC community. 

Great comms, very well packed, I really recommend him if you want to buy or trade. Thanks again, Will

Beautiful bass, but is the colour of the headstock different than the body? 

What can you tell about the body? You mention "true 1960's", but what year exactly? The bridge belongs to the body? What's the neck plate serial number? 

And do you have a picture without the bridge installed? Weight of the body? Thanks. 

What's the weight please?

So a American Traditional it is. Just reacted because the neck pocket stamps are similar to a mex body, no ts access on the body and different bridge. 

My apologies and GLWTS.

If this was a 1999 usa body, it should have string through body ferrules, also the bridge is a non-fender. 

Solid bodies without string through body were from 1993 or older.

Also the pickguard should have a cut out for the truss rod.

Looks like this is a fender mex body.

Bought a nice P body from Pablo. Great deal, great packaging, great guy. Recommended and thanks again!

I've bought a couple of Sims pickups from Paul. Excellent comms, Paul was really helpfull and very very well packed. Recommended! 

Do you know the weight please?

trade pending
