Beautiful bass Nick, I came so close to buying this one from Bass Direct, but will always be a P man at heart. GLWTS

[quote name='RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE' timestamp='1450781687' post='2935764'] Is it good for metal bump [/quote] Probably not Ray, the Ampeg 8x10 hadn't been invented in 1957. But it can do ZZ Top

Bump

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1450113908' post='2929744'] Well if you ever do....... 8 lbs, perfect. [/quote] Thought you may say that Tom, like minds and all that If I ever do, you have first dibs. But I can't imagine life without a Lull and I do love that one particularly. Just order one!

[quote name='Bassman Sam' timestamp='1450045202' post='2929179'] Please withdraw it immediately before I sell the wife. [/quote] Thanks, I'm glad you noticed I said no trades [quote name='Schnozzalee' timestamp='1450051222' post='2929232']. Nice one Chilli - Thank you for the photos [/quote] Cheers pal, I'll miss her if she sells. [quote name='AndyTravis' timestamp='1450046470' post='2929191'] I've just asked my wife if the savings can be used to make a solid investment "I'm ignoring this attempt..." [/quote] Shall we show her the NKR receipt for £8000

[quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1450095917' post='2929479'] Lovely looking P Daniel. More of J man as you know, but I'm sure this will find a home without too much bother. Buy with confidence here people. This man knows his stuff. GLWTS matey. [/quote] Thanks Warren, hope all's well mate [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1450103938' post='2929592'] Can I buy the precision in your sig Dan? looks amazing that does. sorry for going off topic... [/quote] Um, I guess everything is for sale really isn't it? And it does weigh only 8lbs.... Seriously though, that is one Lull bass that I seriously hope to never get rid of. It was made for NAMM 2015, the neck is something special. Cheers [quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1450111075' post='2929685'] Please keep trade offers via PM only. Thank you And bump for a beauty [/quote] Cheers Sean, she's a looker

[quote name='Billy Apple' timestamp='1450033149' post='2928999'] What is the neck profile and width at the nut and 12th? [/quote] Hello mate, the nut is 43 MM. and the 12 fret about 55mm. The neck is a V shape, with a nice full shape to it, feels very authentic. Cheers.

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' timestamp='1450033951' post='2929019'] That's stunning Daniel [/quote] Cheers Nick. What with you selling two gorgeous Lull's and me selling this, wtf is wrong with us?!!!

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1450031218' post='2928962'] That's one of the few basses I've seen on here recently that I would jump at if I had the money, what an absolutely incredible instrument at an equally incredible price. The last all original 57 I saw was on sale for £15,000. Good luck Dan, I doubt you're happy to be selling it? Chris [/quote] Hey Chris, cheers for the comments pal. You're spot on, I'm not happy at all about listing this one. But then am I ever?! I've previously listed my Modulus and one of Mike Lull's and then opted to keep them so I may just come to my senses again, I mean how often do you get to own and regularly play a bass like this? Wow, £15k is crazy! I'm with you though, nothing has stood out for me in ages too. Makes selling this even crazier I guess.

Up for sale is a stunning limited edition Custom Shop 1955 P Bass, made in September 2015 and in pristine condition with only the relicing that Fender intended. It has a resonant and light ash body and a great tensioned quartersawn neck, tons of vibe and mojo on this bass. Comes with the original blonde case and case candy shown. Weighs a tiny touch over 8.5lbs with the covers on. No trades by post please. A Mike Lull P54 or possibly a Lull 5 string would be on the top of my trade list. Info from the Fender website: MORE ABOUT LIMITED EDITION 1955 RELIC® PRECISION BASS® The 2015 Limited Edition 1955 Relic® Precision Bass gives you a magnificently crafted original-era version of the bass that started it all. Its lightweight ash body is sculpted with comfortable body and forearm contours, and comes in Dirty White Blonde or Two-Color Sunburst lacquer Relic body finishes that evoke the wear and aging of decades of frequent use (and occasional abuse). Its muscular blunt-force tone comes from a hand-wound '55 Precision Bass single-coil pickup with a classic chrome cover. Other premium features include a quartersawn maple neck with a worn Relic treatment on the back, 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets, single-ply seven-hole white pickguard, authentic reproduction bridge with chrome cover, American Vintage tuning machines and Custom Shop Limited Edition neck plate. Includes blonde Limited Edition case containing a 1955 Fender Downbeat catalog insert reproduction. CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO BE TAKEN TO LOADS MORE.

Now £5800....o.n.o..... ...which is an incredible price for an original 50's Fender. The word 'investment' is too commonly used these days on lesser examples, but this bass at this price is the real deal. If it doesn't go in the next week or two on BC I'll take it to a dealer for a commission sale. Feel free to PM for a chat. This is a stunning bass every way you look at it. A real piece of proper rock n roll history and pedigree and it sounds exceptional. It's an original 1957 P Bass, one of the last before Fender moved over to the 'new' style P Bass. Apart from new pots and cap it's all original, finish included. I doubt the covers are original too, it's impossible to prove and they are clean. This bass is very well documented on Andy Baxter's website and comes with a 2013 sales receipt for £8000 from New Kings Road Vintage Guitars, as well as pictures and a complement slip with details about the bass which was sent from NKR when they first sold it many many years back for a mere £2900. Please email me for more details about all this if interested. Link to Andy's website [url="http://andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=774"]http://andybaxterbas...ails.php?id=774[/url] Andy was selling this for £7250 which was a great price, but cutting out the middle man this is available for a cool £5800 o.n.o. No trades by post please, in fact I can't imagine doing a trade but it's worth PM'ing me just in case. Cheers. PLEASE CLICK ON THE PICTURE BELOW TO BE LINKED TO MANY MORE.
