Legion Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) No trades, need the £[s]1750[/s] back. Now £[s]1700[/s] [s]£1650[/s] £1600 This came up for sale only last week and I knew it would be a first to respond sale and I couldn't resist finding out so I bought it as it was an easy drive to collect. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/214476-mike-lull-p4-on-hold/"]http://basschat.co.u...ull-p4-on-hold/[/url] Amazingly nice bass, stupendously light (it literally feels like a toy), it will take a setup so low it highlights my utter lack of technique and the quality all round is just spot on. I've oiled the fingerboard with quite a lot of fret doctor as it was very dry and its now back to a lovely dark chocolatey brown. Other than that its exactly as it was a couple of days ago, which is to say excellent condition. I've realised there is only a need for one fretted P bass in my life and my Pino is not easy to beat. I'm quite thankful really as I was going to sell all sorts of stuff to recover my Sadowsky NYC but the same thing applies - I know if I got it back I'd still prefer the Pino for P bass-ness. So I've learned something by the process for a change Collection preferred but I can courier at buyers expense.

Clarky Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Hey Jas, under normal circumstances I would be thinking hard about this ... But child number 2 screwed up A levels and I now have to pay for retakes and private tutoring, hence all my stuff for sale too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted August 17, 2013 Author Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Ouch! Could be worse mate, I bailed out of mine 3 months before the exams To be honest I'm starting to think I can justify 2 P basses anyway because this is just too nice to get rid of so I might withdraw it anytime soon. In fact, here it is now (I've been playing it tonight) [attachment=141739:20130817_225357.jpg] Edited August 17, 2013 by Legion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legion Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 [quote name='Bassistist' timestamp='1377008448' post='2182127'] any trades?

I'll use it for another week or 2 at this rate and maybe reconsider my plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
