Waterboarder Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Hi all - having a bit of a pre-moving house clearout. I cant justify having two p-basses so this fella needs to go... Its a made in Japan P - (serial no. dates it between 1983-87) it has a lightweight and more rounded body than the the traditional shape, also with no pickguard. Wiring is in a cavity in the back. It has matching body and headstock, but the body has been refinished. Its not the best job in the world and and is fairly chipped, scratched and loved (or 'roadworn' if you like)! The neck/headstock is in much better condition than the body and I've played a fair few gigs with it and its been great. Im after £225 including a strap and hardcase. I'm not really into posting this, I'd much rather anyone come round and have a look and a play to make sure its totally what they're after - I'm in Plymouth, Devon. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask... Edited November 10, 2011 by Waterboarder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waterboarder Posted October 6, 2011 Author Share Posted October 6, 2011 I'm not sure! It was on there when I got it but it does look like some sort of upgrade similar to the 'Badass' types. You can move the saddles along a dovetail type arrangement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I do like the look of this scruffy old thing. You say lightweight - are you able to weigh it accurately at all? Or even a ball park figure - between 8-9lbs or below 8lbs or whatever. Also how wide is the neck at the nut? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterboarder Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Its 42mm at the nut. I dont have any scales but my Classic Vibe Precision is 8lbs aparrently and its much lighter than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Thanks for that. Weight sounds about right but the neck is a bit fat for my preference. I can't understand why this hasn't gone to be honest, seems a bargain. Folk would pay more than this for a Squier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterboarder Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Very similar neck shape to my CV P - sort of mid-fatness i guess. Thanks for the interest though, guess everyone's skint at the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterboarder Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Some interest, but this one's still up for grabs. Fender for Squier cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
