Hi all, I'm selling this beauty as it's been sat in its case for too long doing nothing. It's been gigged a few times, but not since before 2020. There are a couple of minor dings but you have to go looking for them to see them. I bought it new from PMT Salford in 2015 and still has all the original case and goodies, all included in the sale. I changed the tuners to Gotoh, which still have lollipop keys as the originals, the only difference is the originals had Fender stamped into them. Strap buttons were also changed for locking ones, I'm including the strap locks in the sale too. Currently strung with D'Addario flats. Collection preferred but can courier at buyer's cost. Please let me know if you have any questions or want any more photos. Thanks Tom

*Update* This has now been sold Listing here first to give people who know what this is an opportunity to see it! Anyone who knows what this bass is knows how special it is (pun not intended). Made in Japan between 1984-87 this has buckets of tone from a reversed P pickup in the neck position and a J pickup at the bridge. There’s a pickup selector switch and after that’s where the electronics get fun - I’m not going to attempt to explain it myself, so here’s a link to an image made by a Talkbass user to explain: https://goo.gl/images/Yg4bSb I bought this from Johnny Roadhouse in Manchester in July 2009 so have no idea what it’s story is before then, but this was my main bass for the next 5 years - I’m selling now because it’s hardly been used since then and deserves more than being sat in a bag in my spare room. There are quite a few dings as per the pictures, most of which were already there when I got it - I’d be lying if I said I haven’t added to them though. I’m selling with the flight case because the foam insert is shaped for a P bass and this is the last P shaped bass I own, but will sell without the case for £400. I’m open to offers and may consider a trade. I’m in Manchester and would prefer buyer to collect or to meet somewhere rather than arrange anything with a courier. Any questions, or if you want any photos from a different angle, give me a shout

Is last night's audience of one a record?
Tomjbass replied to leschirons's topic in General Discussion
Played to a micro-audience quite a few times, the best one though was the barmaid, promoter/owner and sound guy - on a rainy Thursday night in Accrington. No other bands on either...I guess we had one person there but she was the guitar player's girlfriend and the only reason she was there was 'cause she drove him around. -
Just sold some machine heads to Mick, he was very helpful to an inexperienced member and confirmed he'd got them straight away so one less thing for me to worry about Would happily deal with Mick again with no worries! Nice one Tom

Some sort of boat?[/size] [size=3]But yeah, like chriswareham said, his English is still better than my Ukranian![/size]
