Evil Undead Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) This is a great bass. Low action, nice to play, sounds good, neck is dead straight, light weight, great balance, etc. Only reason I want to sell is because I can't get on with the lacquered finish on the neck. It's got a nice grain on the neck, and the pickguard has been spray painted matt black which is holding up much better than I thought and hasn't worn off at all. It's in good nick, only marks I can find is where the previous owner fitted a pickup cover - there are some scratches around the screw holes but they're barely noticeable. The pickup cover is included, and I'll include a hard case or a gig bag, whichever you prefer. I've fitted Jim Dunlop dual design strap buttons, which I'll leave on. Collection from Gloucester, or I can meet you at a train station if you pay my train fare up front (I don't wanna get stood up!)

machinehead Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I have a Japanese Fender 51 reissue. I had the neck VERY lightly sanded and the difference is amazing. You could try this and you might decide to keep the bass. Frank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discreet Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Definitely looks a lot better with the pup cover on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I normally hate these P-Basses but I REALLLLLY like this. Stick a mirrored pickguard on it and I'll have it ...if I can pull £200 out of where the sun doesn't shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don't have a mirrored pickguard These are great basses - I was amazed at the awesome quality stuff that Squier are putting out these days.

StevieD_FenderP2009 Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Ah, I messaged you a couple of times as you had offered to sort out the finish on my checkerboard P bass like you offered months ago. If you're still interested, I'd love you to sort it out for me Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
