eddiehoffmann Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) I can't believe I'm doing this, but here I have for sale my beloved '77 P Bass. Acquired here last October through a trade with CPBassman. The thing is... I just bought one of those beautiful Honey Burst American Specials and a '65 P-Bass too. Needless to say I haven't got a penny after that mad spending spree and this amazing bass will have to go to a new home. [b]The bass is 100% original[/b], including pickup cover, bridge cover, pick-guard (with the serial number sticker), pots, pickups, bridge, tuners, finish... Everything. I played this bass non-stop since I bought it and just switched to the American Special for live gigs recently because I was planning to use this one and the '65 for recording sessions only. Unfortunately I won't be able to keep this black beauty. Beautifully aged, some dings as expected for a bass that has been played a lot for 35 years, but [b]recently set up with brand new Status rounds (45-105)[/b] and it plays great and sounds just like you expect a vintage P-Bass to sound. Fat, creamy, punchy... Lovely! Everything works as it should. This bass is ready to go on tour. Specially because I'm selling it with the [b]G&G Fender hard case[/b] that came with it when I got it. It's the only thing that is not original, but it's a reproduction of the vintage Fender cases (and expensive too), so the bass feels perfectly at home in there... [b]I'm asking £1300 collected from EN5[/b] (High Barnet). Wouldn't like to post this, but if you're happy to pay for the courier with insurance I'll pack it nicely and send it to you. I'll post some recent pictures over the weekend. The picture with the bass in its case was taken by CPBassman, hope he doesn't mind me using it. The other one was taken by me. [b]Please note that the Badass bridge it's not on the bass anymore. The bass now has its original bridge on.[/b] [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/8p2kpxcn3s5zgsp/2011-10-17%2002.02.38.jpg"]https://www.dropbox....%2002.02.38.jpg[/url] [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/cc8xiv7gkn7zovg/Photo%2022-06-2012%2013%2052%2009.jpg"]https://www.dropbox....3%2052%2009.jpg[/url] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzW1NdBD22M[/media] Cheers, Eddie Edited January 23, 2013 by eddiehoffmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
