  1. Got this today - I’ve been bass-curious about these since launch but was bit meh about colours. Anyways - I just noticed they’ve gone and put out my fave p combination- rosewood board, natural body with that neck. So instant trigger pull after an hour watching reviews. Now I see what the fuss is about. All necks should feel like this outta the box. Sweet and chunky but not baseball bat, smooth no sticky gloss pickups growl and seem pretty hot - need to check spec - body contour is sexy and bridge seems solid as are the heavy control knobs. Tuners are ok but probably wouldn’t swap them I wouldn’t say it’s a Fender killer - the Am Std I just sold was better but this reminds me if the 2018ish MIM FSR PB70 Reussue I had but with no sticky neck, better pups and half the price when you add £55 for la bellas to the £419 outlay If you’re looking for a P back up - I’d recommend this. Not had out loud yet but it’s a great deal - it feels much more premium than it’s price
  2. Howdy Selling most of my basses - band split up and kinda not feeling it at mo - but the good thing about basses is that you can always buy more right? It’s good as it is and pretty versatile but this would make a great mod platform, a couple of B90s and it would be awesome- strung with new GHS flats - necks fast and good, intonation good - and loud too - it’s crazy light - can’t feel it on a strap so good if you have bad back. Body: Basswood Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Rosewood Number of Frets: 20 string spacing 19mm nut 40mm Scale Length: 780 mm (30-1/2″) Pickups: Mini Humbucker x 2 Controls: Volume x 1, Tone x 1, PU Selector x 1 Hardware: Chrome Finishes: 3TS (3Tone Sunburst) Collect at Clithetoe or can drop off if nearby or £15 shipping. No bag or case just bass
  3. I try to explain why I had to buy but it’s pearls before swine 😁
  4. I spend a silly amount of time looking at basses I’ll never get - just out of interest - also do you get your mates taking the mick about the amount of basses bought and sold. They don’t know GAS IS REAL! 😂
  5. I know the exchange rate isn’t great but $1299 is £1087ish Fender have been doing this in UK for a few years now seeing same £ and $ price which is another rip off unless it’s Brexit related import duty
  6. The Aria back up I got the neck wasn’t screwed in properly- in fact had to tighten all screws in bridge too but for £395 wasn’t expecting what I’d expect from fender for £1200+
  7. Fender sent that one for free to Bully Thakidd to review - you’d think they’d check before sending for review
  8. Lobster savages this - hope Fender listen
  9. Just seen one for resale already in Facebook Marketplace - yellow with tapes - also seen people with same problems as Lobster found. Still tempting tho - will resist as want to put Guild Bisonic on my Aria DMB
  10. Lovely basses I had the same one from 2002 for 15 years - great tone
  11. Nice!
  12. Think it’s my turn to be in them 🤣
  13. Cool bass and good knowledge- I knew I’d seen that font before - I like it
  14. One day i'd love one of these - looks so cool Si
  15. Yeah love the Mosrite look - was looking at the Eastwood version but double the price but probably better but this a good back up
  16. Just in - super light - quite punchy not too bright how I like it - nice neck - not too thin - would give Squier Mustang a run for their money - not bad outta box - some tapes or flats and it’ll be a fine back up - fun and easy to play and dud I say how light it is - prob 7.lbs couple of niggles - fret but at Eb on the A string but not through amp - not fret edges but could do with a polish on a couple - but these are only slight string spacing 19mm and 40mm at nut which makes it great to play tuners are solid - and intonation pretty good out of box Would make good mod platform at £395 I would if I was lobster give this 4/5 claws 🦞
  17. I agree - it’s too good to be a back up
  18. Ta Sean if I sell mine am looking for a back up and only about an hour down the road - I’ll let you know if it’s still going
  19. Did this sell?
  20. Can be heard here https://greenhorses.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-milkshed?t=7
  21. Selling my 2013 PB MIA - as I have finally found the bass for my needs, a Guild Starfire- so I can’t justify having such a great bass as a back up - it’s just a superb PB and needs a home where it’s number 1. Possibly with get the Deacy power bass from Bass Centre as back up. This bass sings unplugged - it resonates and so easy to play- plugged in it growls! new GHS flats just out on very wide tone options for a P as they switched up the pups from 2013 - the neck has the super satin finish - rolled edge with rosewood board which has been oiled - trust rod at bottom but access through the black three ply scratch plate and is 42mm at bone nut Bridge has the adjustable slots with a 19.5 mm string spacing with string through or top load option tuners the lightweight fender ones - holds well. weight is approx 8lbs it’s a lightweight one it has a couple of fine scratches and a tiny chip on thr back of the horn pictured apart from that some very light buckle rash - it’s a beautiful 3 burst - looks like a bottle of bourbon. comes with Fender hard case UK shipping £45 insured or pickup/meet upto hour drive from Clitheroe Lancs
