Phenomenal P bass, willing to trade with as long as I get at least £3k back in cash. A bunch of high quality pictures here. Some historical context: I bought this bass originally from Wild Guitars here in London, established in 1996 on the Archway Road but sadly closed its doors in 2019. The previous owner of this bass did a modification on the original neck where neck the width tapered in from the 14th fret to 1 15/16'' at the 12th fret (standard width 2 1/4''), with standard width of 1 5/8'' at the nut. The back of the neck had been shaped for playability but the depth was not significantly reduced. I wasn't very happy with the neck mod, so I bought a '62 original P-bass neck from Ish Guitars in the US. With that, I got a perfectly functioning, fully original 1962/1963 P bass. The buyer gets both the original shaped 1963 neck for historical purposes of keeping this bass' parts together, as well as the 1962 for maximum playability and fully original set up. Full description: - Body: original, no additional routing or holes with nitro finish (Fiesta Red sprayed over black). Probably an old refinish given wear levels. - Neckplate: original, serial # 89064 putting it on 1963 - Pickups: original, black bottoms - unparalleled sound - Pots: original, tone pot is 304-6320 which dates May 1963 - there is a blob of solder on the volume pot covering the 2nd 4 digits of the number. The pot is clearly identical and all visible numbers are the same - Bridge: original, extra drilled holes to accurately space the strings across the reduced neck width - Neck: both original, one 1963 (5 Jun 63 C, showing red paint from neck pocket) and one 1962 (5 Sep 62 C, originally from a sunburst '62 P) - Knobs & Tuners: original, some slight wear and patina - Plate: original, shrunk slightly but mellowed to a pleasing patina with a partial crack by the jack - Bridge cover and thumb rest are contemporary parts, but worn to match the age of the bass. Missing the pickup cover Shipping to the UK included in the price. Goes with a sturdy, but non-original hard case.

Great bass, trying to sell again because moving houses and will have more costs than anticipated. In full transparency, I bought original parts (neck and matching stamp pickups) to restore it to its original state and Joseph Kaye assembled it. Can collect in SW18 or shipping to UK mainland at buyer's expense. Neckplate: 541882 (1974) Matching pickup codes: 183374 (1974) Pot codes also do match early 70s (unsure whether exactly 74, but pictures below)
