I bought my first P bass this morning because I wanted something dirt cheap that I could modify without worrying about damaging it. It's a Squier P bass in black and that's all I know about it. I paid £60 for it.

I set it up to tune down to drop A# and I'm really pleased with how it sounds. Some hotter pickups would be nice, maybe some toneriders and some decent tuners would be nice. It's pretty light which is nice.

Photos, or it doesn't exist!

Are EMG Geezer Butler pups the only EMG passive PJ pickups with exposed poles in the last 10 years or so, or are there other models of EMG passive PJ pickups with exposed poles?

Use the search function. I recall someone did a sound demo comparing the pbxn with a quarter pound.

@rmiacthhaersdon brought an Ibanez Roadster from myself. Great communication, fast payment. Very smooth transaction.

For sale (no trades) is my rare 1980 Ibanez RS800BK Roadster, this is the original RoadstEr (not to be confused with the later RoadstAr, or cheaper mid 80’s RoadstAr II Series). The original Roadster Series were made between 1979-81 at the legendary Fujigen Gakki factory in Japan during the golden period of Japanese guitar and bass production. The original Roadster Series alongside the Musician Series were the top of the range Ibanez basses, made by hand, sharing the same hardware and Super 4 pickups. Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy toured playing the Ibanez RS900 Roadster - essentially same bass but with 2-band active electronics. The RS800 has passive electronics.

Made January 1980, all original, has a gloss black mahogany body and lacquered rock maple neck. The neck features some neat Ibanez tech called “TR Tuned Response” which basically eliminates dead spots. Sweetheart nickel tuners. Accu-Cast B High Mass bridge, and the Ibanez Super 4 high output single coil pickup. The electrics work clean, no noise or static turning pots. The bass does have marks, scratches and dings commensurate with age, mostly to the back and sides, in very good condition for a bass 42 years old.

The neck has a 41mm nut, super comfy to play like all Ibanez necks from this period. The positioning of the Super 4 pickup produces a P-Bass / Stingray / Rick type sound dependant on strings. The pickup has a heavy mid bias with thumping low-end and crisp highs.

D'Addario Chromes ECB81S flatwound short scale strings, 45-100 guage. Strings are unused, I began putting the E string on, cut it to length but decided not to use these strings on this particular bass. So the E string is already cut, the others are all untouched. Basically all the strings are as new.

Thanks 😎
