    1997 USA Fender P

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by basswesty

    Happy New Year BCer's

    I've not had this long. Had it from a work colleague in Sept 09. He had owned the bass from new.

    There are no issues with this P. Plays well, looks great. There are some small dinks here and there and some buckle rash on the back of the top horn. I've tried to photograph this but it hasn't come out very well.

    I have changed the PUPS for the passive EMG's that you see as the stock PUPS were, IMO, awful. The stock PUPS can be supplied or refitted if desired.

    I also swapped the PG for the tort one. The original white one will come with it too.

    Reason for sale? I favour the weight and neck dimensions on my Lakkie BG. This P weighs in at 8lbs on bathroom scales.

    The original red lable fender case somes with it.

    Tradewise another Lakland, Stingray, Jazzbass... I can muster up some cash too for an appropriate trade.

    Thanks for looking. :)

    Why buy an expensive bass?

OK, these are still quite expensive instruments compared to the basses you're talking about, but they still cost less than 50% than their Sadowsky, Modulus, Musicman etc counterparts and I'm more than happy (as is evidenced by my lack of activity in the Bassess For Sale forum over the last few months). There is an assumption that 'more expensive = better' which, although true to an extent, is moderated by individual skill and needs factors. I've found basses that are sufficiently expensive to meet my skills and needs and have learned that more expensive instruments only disappoint. Better players with greater needs perhaps require more expensive basses?

    i.e. painting over the original colour.[/quote]


    This is quite interesting

    I've been thinking of moving this on (I might be mad as its a real nice head)

    I'm scaling down a little and would like to get a nice combo.

    It is effectively brand new. The first one I had developed a fault (I'm assured this is a very rare occurrence for one of these) and was replaced with a new one. Its had two rehearsals since I've had it and that was without a drummer so it wasn't being pushed at all.
    I have all original packaging too and can provide pics if you like but it is as new.

    Here are the specs from the web site

    I would like a firm £450.

    Thanks

    CIJ 62 RI P bass ***SOLD***

    This is for sale very reluctantly. I have recently purchased a 12 year old MIA P from a friend at a price I really couldn't turn down and don't really need 3 P's (I have a Lakkie BG too).

    The serial number is 2005-06. I've had it from new.
    It is currently loaded with Wizard Thumpers and will come with a tweed Fender gig bag.
    It has a lovely low action and generally plays and sounds gorgeous.

    There a one dink on the front which I have photographed. I'm sure it could be made to look better but I just haven't got round to it.
    There is also a small dink on the back edge but this cannot be seen when played and isn't as bad as the one on the front.

    I don't really know what these are worth so I'm open to offers or advice on the price.

    Sorry no trades I need the cash and a quick sale but I won't let it go for silly money.

    Thanks for reading.
