Update. I just called will. They are updating the server. He didn’t realise things wasn’t going through his side both email and what’s app. I would suggest giving him a call as you are sure to get hold of him. As normal his a great person to communicate with regarding possible purchases.

Yeah I’m not enraged in the slightest. Genuinely wanted to see if everything is ok. I’ve interacted with him before.

Yes normally I use the what’s app function and he replies rather swiftly also. Not been the case this time. I sent a whats app message then a couple days in I went on the contact section to send a email.

Oh ok. That is weird. Maybe they got caught up. I emailed kloppmann pickups. They took a while to reply but apologised saying the email got lost in filter. That happens sometimes. It go to junk mail. Happened to me with clients lol

Hey peeps. I was wondering if anyone has gotten in contact with bass bros within the past weeks? sent a message via what’s app link and then email but no response as yet. They normally respond promptly.

75 fender jazz just up on bassbro. https://bassbros.co.uk/product/1975-fender-jazz-bass-3/ Found a PB70 which I may be interested in. Thing is the serial number is dated 1984-1987. The very first production of the pb70 was 1990. I’ve checked all catalogues. I’ve messaged will anyhow.

A person I follow has the standard wound pickups in a 77 p bass (ash body/maple neck) and it sounds sooo nice. kloppman ate another amazing sounding pickup. Congrats 🥳 Let us know how you get on with them.

I saw this in the morning also. The pickups hand changed also. Like you said the info is shocking. im on the hunt for a 70’s p so I have a saved search I look at.

I was just about to say that it back. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266360366114? mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=BB7G2mDXRVS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Rn8UiLvPR9K&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY suspect?

congrats! I’m sure it will serve you well. You guys are making me crave my mid 70’s p bass even more lol

Oh. What did you pick up this evening? It’s a nice weight. For me the 70’s neck are the most comfortable for me.

Thanks for info. It will be my first vintage bass. I actually saw the ash body on bass bro. It was a three piece natural finish. Tbh the three piece put me off. I played a mocha 77 ash body maple neck in wunjo’s in central london. It was out of this world. Problem is it’s 3.5k. 1k more than going price is a tad to much for my liking.

Very very nice. I’m after a maple neck. im sure this will go in a flash

After me racking my brains on the black poles in pick up. I found that kloppman pick up poles are indeed black just like the ones in the 1980 p bass I tried. what is the price range for a mid to late 70’s fender p bass?

Hey. I really liked it. The neck was a gem to play. I think my wrist prefers 70’s profile pbass necks that are deep but slightly narrower in width. It was interesting as the pick-up poles was black never seen that before. I presume they are stock pick ups. I tried an another 70’s ash body maple neck pbass. I think the other one’s pick up had a tad more character. I was able to get the paul Jackson finger funk tone better. gutted that I injured my fretting hand so deciding which one is on hold atm sadly.

I find them to be cool. I last went about a month ago to try the 1980 precision bass. I always stay for a while and just chat lol.

Wow!!!!! what a collection. I only knew sting playing a 51 p. Lots of learning to do lol i love the look also. I’m a massive fan of paul Jackson. During his time with herbie Hancock he used a fender p ash body maple neck for live shows. The colour was mocha. I actually went i to town and played a 1978 mocha p bass. It was AMAZING but it was 3.5k🙈. I love the sound of ash body with a maple neck. Suits my finger funk style. I admire your collection. If you do see any please do pm me.

I wasn’t playing bass back when this bass came out. This is exactly the bass I’m after. Ash body maple neck. Near impossible to find. I was gonna ask if you don’t play it I would take it off your hands. I then read it’s your main bass lmao you lucky bugger lool

Hey. That’s weird I looked on around four guides which was all the same. this is interesting I’ll dig more. https://reverb.com/uk/news/how-to-date-a-fender https://support.fender.com/en-us/knowledgebase/article/KA-01874 https://www.andybaxterbass.com/blogs/news/fender-serial-number-guide I could show more but all show the same. I don’t have experience in this. I just wanted peoples input before I decide to buy

Hey, I should have said written. Here are some pics of what I was talking about. everything seems legit tbh. Loads of pictures of pots, underneath of pick ups etc.

Hi peeps, hope all is well. I have a bass I am interested in purchasing. A Fender MIJ P bass. On the base of the neck it's stamped with the year 89 (1989), and the serial number at the back of the neck starts with E. When I looked up the serial number everywhere, it showed E serial number basses are made between 1984-1987. Is this normal? I would have thought it probably would have been the other way around. stamp on the base of the neck earlier date and serial number later. Cheers
