cheers
it's only a hop up the motorway
+ i can always meet you somewhere

cheers guys.

bump

nice one you guys

thanks guys,you're correct--i'd have slapped myself if it'd gone.
it is a beautiful bass in all respects + i has a little sentimental value too,a very good freind of mine sold me it & he's in his 60's(if you catch my drift) so i really need to keep it.
in fact if i ever offer it for sale again some one call me a twat

nice collection,i've just tuened propper green.

[quote name='phsycoandy' post='334111' date='Nov 21 2008, 11:31 PM']wow, sure is preddy, but thats a truck load of dosh for a mid 70s P![/quote]

+1

but if you're happy with it who cares
enjoy it mate.

lovely old jazz,not to beat up either--i hate 'em when they look knackered.

[quote name='foxthebiker' post='339314' date='Nov 28 2008, 12:16 PM']This is peachy....

Luv the wood....

Bet this sounds well growly with that MM PUP...

Enjoy! [/quote]

cheers, it sounds absolutley ace.
the more i play it the more i love it,massive range of sounds & more punch than mike tyson

i dug this out of its case at lunch time & man it's gorgeous,just made me smile so i'm going to keep it now.
thanks for the interest guys,i've replied to all PM's t thinks.
all the best

[quote name='CHRISDABASS' post='337803' date='Nov 27 2008, 12:27 AM']The jazz bass i bought off Neil was real a corker!!

he seems to pick really good fenders!!

dont hesitate on trying/buying this one! [/quote]


thanks Chris,very kind.
i guess i really fussy about which basses i buy,if it aint a good 'un i'll not 'ave it.

[quote name='Frusty' post='338271' date='Nov 27 2008, 12:58 PM']I want this bass....please put a price on it for me so that I know that I can't afford it - will put me out of misery [/quote]


LOL
isn't GAS ace.
ok i paid £850.00 for this a year ago so i want £750.00 for it now which i think is a fair price for such a nice bass

go you can afford it
it's only money

2002 U.S. vintage reissue P bass in sunburst,with origional hard case & astray/pickup covers.
very good condition with just 3 very minor paint chips.


this is a lovely bass & plays/sounds just like a P bass should.
it's strung with Ernie Ball group IV flats which suit it perfectly.

i'm not exactly shure how much it's worth so make me a sensible offer & i'll think on it.
cheers,
art'

[quote name='bassbloke' post='335110' date='Nov 23 2008, 08:52 PM']I bought one a couple of weeks ago. Sound, feel and appearance are all fantastic. However, it suffers from the same problem as other active Fenders - the preamp is a bit all or nothing and I have Audere preamps in my other two Fenders and the passive style tone is so handy.

Reckon I might have to get the preamp in this one upgraded. Audere also offer passive switching on the modular preamps.[/quote]

i like the preamp on this,it's the only active bass that i've liked the stock preamp on ,but if i fall out with it i'll check these out.
the passive switch would be a bonus though.
cheers.

hi,after making a rash purchase on saturday (see gear porn ) i may want to sell this bass on.
it's a MIM Fender P bass in electron blue,bought new by me in march this year & blinged somewhat.
here's a pic


its had-
a genuine Fender white pearl s/plate
Gotoh 201 bridge (gold)
Gotoh vintage reverse tuners (gold)
Gotoh nech plate (gold)
Gotoh strap buttons (gold)
unknown make string tree (gold)
WD music vol/tone knobs (gold)-- solid brass i think.
all fitting/screws replaced (gold) (you may think i like gold hardware )
a very new set of Ernie Ball group iv flatwounds (my fave' flats by far)
an extremely fantastic setup (by me )

altogether this bass stands me at £550.00 but i know what cash is like at the mo so i'd like a measley £350.00 for it,which i reckon is a fair price.
cheers, art'.

ohh btw i'll chuck in all the origional hardware & s/plate f.o.c. aswell.
+ a Fender gig bag

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='334841' date='Nov 23 2008, 02:59 PM']For me its weak point is the lack of passive switching - that would be a bonus I think.[/quote]

yes i agree i have looked for a passive switch but hey when it sounds this good who cares

[quote name='EssentialTension' post='334537' date='Nov 22 2008, 07:09 PM']I have the same bass but with rosewood - you can see it in my avatar.

I know some people don't care for the American Deluxes but to me this is a great bass in a great colour. I love the neck. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.[/quote]

cheers mate.
they really are lovely basses,i'd never even considered one before but just spotted it on the wall & fell in lust with it.
i agree about the neck-this has the best neck & fretwork of any bass i've ever owned.

[quote name='lonestar' post='334565' date='Nov 22 2008, 09:07 PM']Sounds like a perfect Saturday to me. No credit crunch up north then?!

Nice bass bet it sounds as good as it looks.
I'm currently saving up to buy some strings[/quote]

i know what you mean,i'll sh*te me pants when me visa bill arrives.
oh well

thanks guys

she really is a beauty.

walked into PMT leeds this afternoon & spotted a rather nice P bass on the wall & i just had to have a go.
then i just had to buy it
you know how it is.
anyhow i managed to haggle £100.00 off,then they said they gave a free 3 year warranty which includes free setups too,wicked.
the guitar tech' set it up as i was paying for it & even he commented on how good the neck is-lowest action i've ever seen on a Fender & no rattles good service or what.
the bass plays beautifully & sounds ace (pitty about the ham fisted twat playing it )
anyway enough prattle,here's some crap photos taken in this afternoon's Yorkshire gloom.



btw my sh*te pic's don't do it justice.

[quote name='thebeat' post='333701' date='Nov 21 2008, 12:54 PM']And others like being mysterious Rude? Miss the 'thanks' and 'no, thanks' did you? Why not just put the price and location and be done with it? [/quote]


i thought the mods might take a dim view of me advertising for my local shop-hence the mystery.

but i reckon it may well go for less than £500.00,which is less than mine cost & less than i've seen 'em anywhere else.
its in a shop in harrogate which might possibly be called "rock steady music"
whose phone number may be 01423 529000.
& the bloke to ask for may be called Phil.
who knows ?

[quote name='AndyMartin' post='333610' date='Nov 21 2008, 09:19 AM']Same here. I think they only do them in black and sunburst which I've already got. Pity because I just love those block markers. Now, CAR or LPB and I'd be up there this morning.[/quote]

that's the '70s one you're thinking of mate.
the '60s one doesn't have the block markers or bound neck,it comes in black,white or 3tsb.

[quote name='LWTAIT' post='331845' date='Nov 18 2008, 10:36 PM']what makes you say that?[/quote]

some people just like being rude, i guess.

[quote name='Currrls' post='331679' date='Nov 18 2008, 07:12 PM']how good is a good price?[/quote]

phone him & find out,i'll send you his details.
