All PMs replied to. Feel free to ask me any questions (regarding this bass!)

[quote name='project_c' timestamp='1502059095' post='3349089'] Wish I hadn't just bought a new kitchen, this is a dream bass right here. Adult responsibilities are no fun. [/quote] Soon to purchase some flooring for the house - agree about adult responsibilities!

They have a very [b][i]similar one on offer for £2099[/i][/b].[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i]So at [/i][b][i]£1299[/i][/b] [i]this bass is a massive saving of [/i][b][i]£800[/i][/b] [i]from new!!!! Relative bargain!!![/i][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I’ve had this bass from new and it has never been gigged. The condition is Excellent. It is not totally mint condition as there are some very light player marks on pickguard. There is also a tiny ding on the back of the body (very difficult to spot if not shown). All of these are not really noticeable and hard to show even in high quality photos.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The bass comes with original high quality Xotic case. It plays superbly and has a flawless fretboard with a completely even tone across the entirety. I bought this on the back of the quality of the XJ I used own (recently sold here). This is an example of a flawless precision, with top quality parts and construction.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b][u]PHOTOS:[/u][/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Loads of photos on flickr: [url="https://flic.kr/s/aHskZZDUmP"]https://flic.kr/s/aHskZZDUmP[/url][/font][/size] [attachment=250783:DSC_0080.JPG][attachment=250784:DSC_0063.JPG] [attachment=250785:DSC_0066.JPG][attachment=250786:DSC_0065.JPG] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b][u]WEIGHT:[/u][/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The bass has a great weight of approximately [b]8.6lbs.[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b][u]FEEDBACK:[/u][/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i][u]Basses/Cabs Sold via ebay:[/u][/i][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Warwick Corvette Fretless Standard, Fender Precision Lyte, Warwick Corvette Hot Rod, Classic Musicman Stingray, Warwick 411 Pro Cab[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Feedback[/i]: [url="http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&ftab=AllFeedback&userid=maldybass&iid=-1&de=off&interval=0&items=50"]http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll…[/url][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i][u]Basses Sold via Facebook/Basschat:[/u][/i][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Warwick Streamer $$, Fender Road Worn Jazz, Fender Road Worn Precision, Sandberg California VM4, Standard Musicman Stingray, Xotic XJ-1T, Limelight P[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][i]Feedback: [/i][url="https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbasschat.co.uk%2Ftopic%2F193071-feedback-for-maldy%2F&h=ATMFtxVbvtrest-3FiICmOJNNH_m2pIoISr3DkpXRQ8OlvAGn_ONv1Tqmo8meDfCrfEfuDNVNEPJvXEA54xN-Ku6lPy2_fk0enuM3ijuk5GXZekAnSH13E3iOLrPmNWPTn9W1GYr7DkstVAb8mPwD0elxI78cQ&enc=AZOq5jxdIlWEhTeQKaRbGJQ_T1y1ErsIM452D3CygjwbmAGdGepQRbKSMewD82K9OBaFkUXlOmCku4k5mwlHAqlkQSBDUpwOMG7clunnUUzVuQ5L2NI2YyFXdLcY42VoDG2nncoKKwZjbRtQRSTYwhn-7ioItHuZG60Rr1PzlOkdTg&s=1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/193071-feedback-for-maldy/[/url][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b][u]SHIPPING:[/u][/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]I'm happy to ship via UPS for around £25 in the uk depending on location and options.

Classic looks, supreme build quality, state-of-the-art pickups and preamp and amazing playability and response.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Desgin Concept[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]To this day, the P-bass continues to charm many musicians with its heavy tone and burly, yet gracious sound. The Xotic XP-1T 4-string (P-bass Style) was created borrowing some of the popular technologies of our XJ-1T 4-string (J-bass Style), like our Tri-Logic Bass Preamp, our pursuit of natural playability and a body style that promotes acoustical sustain. To accompany our new XP-1T bass, we've designed a new pickup, the Xotic PV-1. We're confident that this new pickup will satisfy your needs for a fat and solid sound.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Head Stock / Tuner[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Trusted for its quality and precision, we chose the Hipshot Ultra lite for the machine heads. They are durable and lightweight, which helps for longevity and prevents head dive.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif] [b]Truss Rod[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]For the XP-1T, adjustments can be made at the end for the neck with the special hex Allen wrench. There is no need to remove the neck or the pick guard to make the adjustment.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Xotic's manufacturing process improves the stability of the neck. Under normal conditions and use, the neck's consistency should remain strong and steady, but minor adjustment of the Truss rod may be required under harsher environment or changes in season. We've made the adjustments very easy with the placement of the Truss Rod.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif] [b]Bridge[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The XP series uses Xotic A Style for the bridge because its brass alloy doesn't lose any vibrations from the strings, giving it fat and solid tone. This bridge provides adjustments to the pitch and tension of each string giving you your own custom set-up.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif] [b]Body[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]A medium-weight swamp ash materials are used for the body. These woods give the XP series a solid low and low-mid range tone. Something lighter weighted bodies can't achieve.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Neck[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Our hand carved C-shape neck is finished with a light oil rub, using our own Xotic XP-OG1 oil. The shape and finish provides a smooth texture and stress free playing[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The XP fingerboard tone wood options is Maple. These tone woods are carefully selected and chosen for their hard-grained material. Our fingerboard features a 10" radius, which is a gentler curve than vintage spec, and is adorned with Luminova phosphorescent position markers. These markers are a perfect choice when performing on a dark stage as they glow 10 times brighter and last longer than other comparable materials. [/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif] [b]Fret[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Jescar Fret Wire is an industry standard fret wire that is chosen for its high quality and used by makers such as Gibson, Martin and Tom Anderson. It is trusted for its superior precision and durability.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Pre Amp[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]We used our world renowned Tri-logic 2 preamp, which has been our choice since the Evolution model. The preamp is designed to minimise the change in tonal quality and incorporates a 3 band EQ. The preamps and EQ makes it ideal for covering a wide range of musical styles.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]We improved the preamps functionality by positioning 2 mini toggle switches, just below the bridge, so you can instantly switch between high-mid/low-mid and various treble EQ frequencies.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]The Tri-Logic 2's electrical circuit is redesigned with amplifying element for reduced electric al consumption and noise, for better tone and longer battery life.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif] [b]PU Cover[/b][/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]This flat pickup cover also functions as a finger ramp. There are also thumb rests on the side that are helpful for stabilizing your picking.[/font][/size] [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]And since the pole pieces are not bare, this visually attractive cover also eliminates the noise from fingers or pick which are prevalent for the P-Bass.[/font][/size]

Very nice

Picture attached :-)

These are new replacement Sandberg HCA tuning pegs. I have three in total and I'm selling separately at £7 each including p&p. I will upload photos tonight.

My favourite bass at the moment. Haven't touched my others since this arrived. Great tone from the pickups and you are unlikely to fine one at such a low price. Grab it quick!

I have an xotic and I can say that they are a really classy bass. Fantastic even tone and the fretboard is rock solid and even all over. Superbly built too. I have a cherry colour one (switches on front), but think this blonde colour is my favourite! This is also going for an insanely good price!

Used to have one of these. Cracking bass and this one is going for a very reasonable price. New ones cost a LOT more. Listen to the video clip, which is great, is making me think why did I sell mine!!!
