Hello everyone!

Long story here but I will try to be synthetic.

Before Pete, owner of Wal, passed away in mid 2000, he started a project of a new bass together with Martin Sims of Enfield Guitars. After the death of Pete the project was put in  standby and only one year ago Martin Sims decided to complete it. When  I discovered that I purchased it, that was before Covid. Now after one year I received it but unfortunately due to financial issue I can't keep it so I have sadly to sell it. It looks and sounds gorgeous. Moreover is super versatile due to SIMS Super Quad Pickups and John East pre-amp. It's indeed absolutely UNIQUE. 

Here follows the features:

I sent you a message, is it still for sale?

Lee sklars’ Franken P. Could just be him but it does sound good in his videos.

Any link?

Dear colleagues,

what's in your opinion the most growly, punchy and full of mids  Fender Precision bass, possibly with maple fingerboard?

thanks and cheers!

Nash PB-63 bass is a lightweight version of the classic design with great playability and sustain. Neck style is reminiscent of 1970's Precisions with block inlays and binding. This bass weighs 3,79 kg.
Glenn Hughes on Nash basses: "The one I’m playing now is a Bill Nash replica. My friend Bill Nash from Washington state, he’s amazing. I own a lot of old Fenders, which I don’t take on the road, and I wanted something that could replicate the old ones. I had tried many different replica-type basses, all distressed and road-worn variations. Bill had sent Joe Bonamassa a really messed-up looking Tele, the same Tele that was designed after Eric Clapton’s Hyde Park Blind Faith Tele -- the one with a Strat neck. I played this amazing Tele, which Joe played on the first Black Country Communion album on a song called “Beggarman.” I said, “Oh my god, I wonder if a Bill Nash bass would sound and look this good." Bill sent me a bass -- the red one you see me playing in the videos and the new Black Country Communion DVD. It’s a ’57 replica, a relic. It’s just insane. I’ve got some old P basses and Jazz basses, and you can’t really tell the difference."
