Might have to check the bank ACC after posting but would you ship the bass to Dublin?

I'm not opposed to shipping it but I'd leave that to you to arrange.  I'm happy to remove the neck, pack it securely and give the relevant details to make it easier.

ONO 

This was my main boy for a spell but it's always been a chop 'n' changer hence it being in parts.  Ideally I'll sell this in two parts but I can sell the neck and tuners separately if you prefer.  

Fully loaded body - £175
We have a Daphne blue Alder body bought from BC maybe 2 or 3 years ago.  Set up for through body stringing if you have a bridge that facilitates it.  Comes with basic bridge and strap pins.  It's not a tight neck pocket, maybe 1 or 2 mm extra space.  Depending on your neck/ howyou like your set up, you may want to shim it.  A little notch has been made to allow for truss adjustments to a USA neck I had on there once.  Not visible with a regular pickguard, of course.
It is loaded with an old Dimarzio Model P, wired for parallel/series with a push/pull pot.  Not sure what that pot is but maybe a Dimarzio, it came wired with the pup.  The tone pot is CTS with an Orange Drop capacitor.  Swithcraft jack socket.  Can also supply the red guard pictured.  Oh, and it has the ashtray.

Neck and tuners - £200
2018 MIM Maple neck with Gotoh Tuners (unattached as two of the holes are wider than the pre-made holes so rather than attach them I've left them off should anyone want one without the other.  Happy to attach them for you.  String tree is included.  In the pic you'll see a previous failed attempt at attaching one with a brass screw which died so I made a new hole and the bodged hole isn't visible when strung.)

Interested in trades for a rosewood board Fender neck (P or Jazz) with block inlays or sunburst P bass body. Or a Source Audio C4. Maybe something else I haven't thought of. Try me! 

"Roadworn" BB425X. I was going to strip the paint and stain it or something but I liked the matte/almost wood grain look after I'd started to sand it and left it as is 😁  
So yeah... less road worn, more hand worn with some light sand paper and scarcely gigged but still a beauty and I swear the action and playability is like that of my old Sandberg, just a different feel to the neck wood.

I upgraded the bridge to a Gotoh but will provide the original ugly thing with the extended lip for the B (makes no difference if you're stringing through anyway).

Just not using a 5er anymore so thought I'd put it up and see if any interest.

PMd

What a beauty! 😍

Thanks for being cool. Good luck.

Why would you wait for a whim when you have a guaranteed sale?  All good, man! 😁

Agh! I'm really sorry but I think logically it's first come first served. The other guy sent the first PM.

If Stuart needed to go for a wizz, it's cost him. 

Fair

@discreet It's your shout, man.  Stuart has gone dark so whatever works for you

@discreet I am but don't know about @StuartB ...
 

Works for me!  PM me @StuartB?

I might be up for the neck if that helps...  Split the cost?

Well, that would work for me but down the OP I guess.  I could pick the whole thing up as I'm not too far (I don't think).

Hey man, would you consider selling just the body?  Got a neck looking for a home 😁

Hi. Sorry, didn’t see your response! Yes, still available.

I'm all sorted now but thanks

Sorry! Just got a new computer and missed this....That's right. Local deal wasn't it? I'd be happy to sell just the body and pick guard. If you have a neck, come on by and we can see if it fits ok. PM me with your details and we can chat. Thanks! Gunnar

Will PM you 😃

Can you post a pic without the cover please?  Or PM me one?  Thanks

I'm basically building mine right now!  Well, modding at least.  Converting my Fender Elite P bass to passive as I never use active and the preamp colours the sound (I finally know what people mean by that now!).

So neck and body exactly the same as the Elite, PJ set up with S/P switch on the volume, blend pot for pups and master tone.  Maybe a kill switch if I can be bothered.  Olympic white, rosewood board with a tort plate (which I am stupidly making with a Dremel, I still haven't learned that it's probably more trouble than it's worth) but other colours might be surf green/daphne blue with anodized gold plate and maple neck (which is basically the regular P bass I made).  Also, an orange sparkle or translucent finish which I'm going to attempt on my Jazz bass one day... or mocha... the colours would change every 6 months or so...

I may be interested in the body and pickguard... (I think I may have bought a CV Jazz body of you through ebay actually...)

I know the decal on the headstock could have been applied by anyone, but doesn't it say Made In USA on there?

I don't think I've ever seen a USA neck with the truss adjuster on the headstock, that says MIM to me.

or whether it was a spare, like that extra button you get sewn into a shirt.

love this idea! =D

Now why did I never think to google that myself...? 🤔

I think maybe it was used to transport a table or some display thing, was in my cousins house and I thought I could use it for something but I haven't.  Free to whoever can come pick it up.  Maybe it will make good storage or a table or something.  Maybe just take it apart to build your own flight case 🤷‍♂️
The choice is yours, young wizard! 🧙‍♂️

If you were to split it I'd be interested in the pups...

@Heathy

Here's one but mega bucks https://www.wdmusic.co.uk/pickguards-c62/fender-basses-c111/precision-bass-american-deluxe-c158/wd-music-american-deluxe-p-bass-single-ply-070-tortoise-shell-p2365

Non-tort is cheaper but still £50+

I had a blank arrive today for £18.  By the time I've taken a Dremel to it it would have cost me three times that in labour but whatyougonnado 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for posting. This looks like it could be an option for my deluxe precision. Although this does bring with it the added complication of getting a customised pickguard. Any recommendations?

I'm doing similarly with my Elite and the only options I found for pickguard are £50+ or make my own (which I am going to do). You don't necessarily have to but you'll have to remove the whole board and likely have extra holes. 

If you wanted to buy one I think WD Music have some on their site.
