I will be based in Brum over easter. I'll get my flights booked and give you a nod.  I may fly to London for a spot of P bass browsing. 

Hi - Any more news - did you want to go ahead with buying the Pbass?

Great stuff - Stansted would be easiest for me, Brum is doable and I'd be happy to meet

I am, but not sure I can get to Suffolk  when I'm visiting the UK...

No but I could potentially meet you somewhere = where will you be?

Nobody interested then?

James Stevenson is a guitar player, so not many I guess. I couldn't find any pictures of him with a bass. Would be interesting to find out if he used it to perform or record..

He bought it while on tour in the US because “ I just loved it” was what he told me.

i visited his house to collect the hard case and had a good chat with him at the time.

Birth year bass for me too - will be sad to see it go - just doesn’t get played these days

Reluctantly selling my original, 1972 P-Bass in black with a maple fretboard and white pick guard.

Includes original pick up cover, ash tray bridge cover and orange lined hard case (not pictured as it’s in the loft!)

Neck date is JUL72 (I think) but it’s been a while since I had the neck off - definitely summer 72.

Bass is light weight, at around 8lbs. Strap locks fitted but original strap buttons are included.

The instrument was purchased from Angel Guitars on Denmark St. London - the last owner was James Stevenson of various bands including Billy Idol, Generation X, Gene Loves Jezebel, Chelsea Punk Band and at the time I bought it he was gigging live with The Cult.

Overall condition is excellent for a 47 year old bass. Some cracking mojo especially the lovely patina on the top edge of the neck 😀

Give me a shout if you have any questions. Would prefer collection in person however I’m prepared to ship via courier at cost as long as you’re happy to pay for full insurance.

I also travel all over the UK for work and would be very, very happy to meet and exchange at a mutually suitable time and location.

Any questions please fire away.
