    [b]ALL IS SOLD![/b]

    Hi guys, up for sale is my Fender Mark Hoppus P-bass. It has an ash body with a rather tasty transparent surf green finish. This colour I'm the original owner of this bass which I ordered through a local Fender dealer. When it arrived I decided to swap out the hardware for superior parts;[list] [*]I changed the stock bridge for an American bridge to allow top-load stringing should it be required; [*]I swapped the "Mark Hoppus" neckplate for a Fender F-stamp; [*]swapped the lone volume pot for a stacked vol/tone with cloth wiring and an orange drop cap (also swapped out the stock Quarter Pounder for a Lindy Fralin); [*]Put some Schaller strap locks on. [/list] The bass comes with the original hardware if you want the instrument stock, a vintage-style tweed hardcase, a Lindy Fralin pickup (for those of you who prefer a more traditional sound) and a worn-in pack of D'addario Chromes (flatwounds). Pics below: I've given the bass a good look-over and while it is virtually mint there is one small dink on the edge of the fingerboard just past the 3rd fret, bass side: Price includes postage and packing. This is a somewhat reluctant sale but I'm in dire need of cash right now. Consequently, I'm not after trades (sorry guys!) Thanks for looking. Cheers, Bob.

    I for one love mine. It's interesting that you're using a similar rig to me and your observations are also similar (I'm usually using a P-bass variant or Stingray into a Spyder 550 into a pair of Aguilar DB112s). The MT is an amazing little box, an indispensable piece of kit on my board.

    I sold an Ashdown rig to Martin recently. After he showed a lot of interest I held onto the rig until he got the money and when he did, I delivered it in person. Then things became interesting; no one would be at his place as I was passing so he trusted me (practically a stranger) to enter his place, drop the amp off and pick the money up. He was true to his word and I was true to mine. Martin was an absolute pleasure to deal with and seemed like top gentleman from our comms. I'd recommend him

    I just sold Greg my Fender/Warmoth Fenderbird. He arrived at the meeting point about a minute after I did and the transaction went very smoothly. A pleasure to do business with

    If I didn't buy my first Stingray from Higgie this year I'd be tempted by this. I'm determined to own one player that also happens to be a Y.O.B. instrument

    Man, I wish I was a Jazz bass sort of guy, I would take this off your hands right NOW. "You don't need a Jazz, you'll only neglect it for a P, you don't need a Jazz, you'll only neglect it for a P, you don't need a Jazz, you'll....."

    I gave my Ric a setup and a good clean. While I was at it I thought I'd take some fresh pics: [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/BigBassBob/Snapbucket/790CEA3F.jpg[/IMG]

    Would you take body parts as payment? I've got a kidney which has been worn in comfortably and has plenty of life left in it. I also have 10 toes with a unique grain pattern on the nails. At a stretch I could possibly throw in a foot. PM if you're interested All joking aside, those are absolutely beautiful! If I had the money I'd go for them.

    I have to say I love this colour too! I also have a blueburst 4003 except mine is from one of the first runs... Doesn't have the newer features and the burst is a lot darker. If it's anything like mine the colour absolutely pops iin person.

    Bumping with a price reduction!
