  1. My really nice P Bass which I would rate as being in excellent 9/10 condition with just a few play wear marks mainly to the pick guard, tiny piece of the headstock decal missing + small dings & play wear marks, the worst being near the bridge cover / rear strap button area - please see pics. The black mark on the rear of the otherwise unmarked neck is ‘in the wood’ & not damage, + the headstock is clean & free from damage.

     

    I’ve owned & played umpteen P Basses over the past half Century and I can honestly say that this is right up there with the best of them - in my humble opinion of course.

     

    Alder Body, Maple Neck & beautiful dark Rosewood Board with clay dots.

     

    Very low action all the way up the fingerboard with spot on relief thanks to level frets & a Pro set up which makes this P Bass very easy to play, plus very well balanced at 3.9kg, or 8.59lbs in old money.


    Nut width is 44mm + nice & shallow in depth, so very comfortable to play.

     

    Fully functioning easy to turn both ways Truss Rod, which can be adjusted without removing the neck

     

    Neck & neck pocket are as tight as the proverbial Gnats Chuff!

     

    Reverse Vintage stylee tuners.

     

    New set of La Bella Low Tension Flats just fitted.

     

    Fender USA superb quality, model correct C & G black hard case, with plush red interior & key included in virtually mint condition.

     

    Numbered Fender Certificate of Authenticity + both ashtrays, tug bar & Case Candy, including a couple of handy zipped pouches.

     

    Lovey playing / sounding P Bass that I’m sure the new owner will be ‘cock a hoop’ with!

     

    This beauty is all original, apart from the pick guard screws which l’ve changed for black ones as l think they look better than the silver finish ones, but the originals will be included so they can be swapped back if required.

     

    I believe these were based on a ‘63 P Bass rather than the newer American Original 60’s ll which I think are based on a ‘62 P?

  2. David kindly answered my plea for a hard case for my P Bass. It was at least as good as described, really well packaged & he was an absolute pleasure to deal with.

     

    Thanks again David, appreciated👍👍

    I think this is where I got mine pictured above. I have also had a Jazz guard from him. I don't remember it costing that much though! I thought I paid about £20 for them.

     

    I can't seem to find him on ebay either now.

     

    Edit: No, I got mine from Reverb - see this link: https://reverb.com/uk/shop/guitars-electric-ltd

    Mine was for my Fender Squier Mini P Bass, I couldn’t find anyone else that did them….

  4. Check out the Guy below on eBay. Very good looking, well made and quite ‘opalescent’ - about as good as you can get without paying hundreds of your finest British pounds on an Avant Guard jobbie from France👍👍

    About the same price as this guy charged me for this one

    I found the Avant - Guard ones were very close to the originals. Here’s one I had on my AVRI, very ‘opalescent’ being Celuloid.
