Cor, nice - had to look twice at that

I reckon a Spitfire Tort guard would look stunning on that one!

Oh god no ! Infinitely customisable scratch plates ! Argh !!!

Must.Not.Look

Snap !

(kind of)

That’s rather nice. 

Limelights seem pretty good value also. 

It’s the sound though really. You just can’t get that P sound with anything else. 

I play in what is basically a blues band, and the P just works so well in that environment.

You'd be even more disappointed with a real one. My 64 is 45mm nut, slim front to back, skinny vintage frets, 7.25 radius.. 

Sounds exactly like you expect/remember though.. quite quite exquisite. 

I do understand the neck dimensions don't suit everyone tho..

Note to self, don’t by a pre CBS P lol !

Yes that’s the one, hello again :-)

i think I’d had a few shandys when I messaged you about it lol !

if I could put a jazz neck on it from a similar era I’d probably love it. Having said that I do prefer a flatter radius on the neck. 

That’s the one, micro thin frets, small radius board, silly truss road adjustment etc 

I have a 60s P obsession from listening and watching early 70s era Queen as a kid. 

I didn’t take into account my Homer Simpson hands when I bought it !

Nut width. Big front to back I actually like. 

I think I’ve exacerbated it by putting flats on it, which I’m not that used to playing with, so at the moment it gathers dust sadly. 

Big nut width, big string spacing, stubby hands. Not a great combo. 

Lol :-) 

thanks for all the pointers. 

Im not sure I like the neck enough to mess around with the bridge., it’s just too big for me. 

Its a shame. It’s an incredible sounding bass. 

Basically I need to be able to adjust the string spacing better as it’s way to wide for me and the the E saddle ain’t one for being moved either. 

So fancy bridge required with same screw positions as a 62 P 

come to think of it you can’t adjust the spacing on a Bad Ass can you ?

If I install a high mass bridge such as a Bad Ass II clone on an AVRI P am I likely to be excommunicated to Talk Bass ?

Could you repost pictures please ? Links don’t work anymore.

Congratulations, great looking bass.

With a bit of luck in the next month or so I am hoping to take possession of a Geddy Lee style bass myself. Not MIJ or MIM, neither MIA nor custom shop....

What was it then ?!

What’s the radius on the neck ?

I have one of these, I paid a lot more than this for it. 

Truly wonderful bass, buy it now !

Bump

Yes mate.

This is the 8ohm one

I also have a 1x15 up for sale also.

Nice !

There’s a chap not a million miles away from here also selling a 4x8, you could also buy that and have a mini fridge !

Here we have another nice and light Ashdown ABM Neo cab, but this one is a 1x15 with a switchable tweeter.

Made in China with Sica speakers.

Excellent condition.

ABM 500 head fits perfectly.

Desire for single cab solution forces sale.

Will deliver within 100 mile radius of Chester.

Snazzy carpet not included in sale.

Pictures attached

This is a nice and light 4x8 8ohm cab rated at 500 watts.

In very good condition other than the scuff you can see on the grill.

UK made cab, Sica speakers.

ABM 500 head fits perfect on top as does an EBS TD660

I’m looking to switch to a one cab solution hence need for sale.

I also have listed here an ABM Neo 1x15

I’m in Chester, can probably deliver within say 100 mile radius for small fee. Can’t really be bothered posting.

You too my friend, I hope you enjoy it :-)

Chester. Can post at a cost.
