    Exactly, just to show the scale. It was a tight fit, but a good fit.....as they say....

    Greetings Sir, lovely bass. Can you tell me if this comes with the original HSC? Many thanks!

    Sorry, no trades as I've had an issue over lockdown of spontaneous bass regeneration. Not sure how it happened....but they're everywhere!

    How about 835 pounds sterling shipped?

    Don't think they are the same necks as the Pro basses, as I had a 2018 Pro P bass recently. I do know the Performer series do have graphit rods (see above) so there's that. Best, Gunnar

    Excellent. Then you know you can adjust string spacing to your desired width...... You see even spacing and Guy doesn't (he's mentioned it before).....you like rosewood and not maple..... Now that we're done with all the tutorials (thanks very much!) back to the sale of the lovely bass. I never knew not having exact string spacing would cause so much discussion.

    The general consensus on Talkbass is that they are indeed most likely keeping it quiet to steer folks to the Pro models. But, it makes sense that they have the rods as they are American made necks and would be silly to re-tool in order to not have the rods.

    Lovely, multiple string adjustment options with the new American Fender bridges. Buy the bass and you can adjust to your hearts content.😀

    Have a look at Guy Pratt's original Betsy original jazz bass, that's actually how he prefers his string spacing. Go figure.

    3 Position saddles so it can be adjusted to your liking!

    Hey Ebenezer, I couldn't find the spec either, so asked around on Talkbass and was steered towards a thread that was asking the same question and see above for the answer. Best, Gunnar

    Actually, not true. I asked the question on the Talkbass.com site and got this confirmation from one of the members who inquired directly with Fender USA:

    Purchased this new 2 weeks ago (but it's a 2018). I loved it so much I tried the rosewood model and decided the rosewood was more up my alley since it's a bit more traditional and I play in a 60's cover band. I'm super impressed with these American Performer models. You get graphite support rods and a fantastic playing neck. I've set this bass up as per Fender specs. Includes truss rod tool, allen keys etc. 4.2kg according to the old bathroom scale. £875 shipped....or £850 local sale, bank transfer or PayPal fine.

    I'll also ad, worrying about my gear is also a reason why I don't have really high end equipment. I've sold my Markbass amp set up since we're now using IEM's. I just have a Fender Rumble 40 for any small gigs where I might not use IEM's (and DI that into the PA). I just don't want to worry about my equipment when at a gig, or left in my shed. If someone nics my American Performer Jazz bass it would suck, but it wouldn't be the end of the world to replace it....and I always have my modded Bronco bass as a back up.

    I use an uninsulated out building to keep my gear....and futon for naps, desk etc. In the summer it gets blazing hot and winter pretty darn cold. I do have 2 garden/greenhouse low energy heaters to pull some moisture out in the winter. But, I must say, my bass collection hasn't suffered. Although, I do wish it was insulated. We're in the process of moving, so I can show a picture. The positive to our garden is it's surrounded by high walls, and no access to streets or alleyways, so I feel pretty confident it's secure. I also have a camera installed.

    Now on hold, pending sale.

    I purchased mine directly from the Bass Centre....since they're close. Barry was great to deal with. They have remnants of Who and Kinks flight cases everywhere. Cool stuff.
  22. Studio GC
    Ezbass....round head lock nuts. I always use them with strings that have long silks....to keep them off the saddles.

    Sometimes the dog is for sale....but he's been a good boy today!

    Oh, I love this bass. It feels like home, but my band is moving into the mod circuit (when things open up!) and I've had the good fortune to acquire a stonkin' Ric so sadly, Betsy and I must part ways. It was my gigging bass until lock down, so it shows some wear and tear (see photos) but not too bad. It comes strung with Fender flats. Also includes the fantastic bass centre gig bag, which is one of the best standard gig bags I've used. Tools and hang tags too. Also included is a signed copy of Guy Pratt's book as well! http://www.basscentre.com/british-bass-masters/bbm-betsy.html £450 shipped mainland UK

    I purchased this lovely P bass in the good ol' USA before the COVID hit. Was planning on using it for some gigs over the Pond, which didn't happen. So here she is back in the UK and needs a good home. I'm pretty happy with my Ric, so off this beauty goes. The shape of the neck on the Am. Pro's is really comfy. They certainly nailed it with this shape and feel. I really like the taller frets too. I didn't totally dig the pick ups, hence I've put the very well regarded Lindy Fralin (standard wound) pick up which sounds super vintage and growly. A great fit for this bass. It comes with a very nice soft case that slides into a SKB TSA approved Bass Case ,which is a fantastic option for travelling with a hard case, but also having the option of a soft case. I don't have the original case, as it's back in the States....same with the original pick up. The bass has a few swirl marks, but no dings and looks almost as new. £1250 shipped mainland UK.
