Withdrawn - Vintage Tony Butler Signature plus £250

[GreeneKing]

I bought a Vintage Tony Butler Signature on a whim (it looks stunning) and to have as a cheap pub passive backup.

The bass is well made with decent Wilkinson pickups, tuners and bridge. The electrics were cheap Chinese items that were replaced with a CTS harness and 'proper' knobs.

The fretwork was woeful so I gave the bass to renowned luthier Phil Hartley in Bolton and he dressed the frets, set it up with new Ernie Ball Nickels and replaced the nut.

So I spent another £200 on it and as I'm not in a band at the mo so I don't really need it.

I'm looking for £250 plus delivery.

Yep, 34" scale.

It's a great P, what more can I say, plays ever so well, mint condition and in black with a 3 ply black plate I think it's classy.

[b]Bump to the top for one time only[/b]

I know this bass is 'only' a Vintage Tony Butler Signature P

It cost something like the asking price. It is effectively in as new condition. It's been professionally refretted and plays like butter. It has 'proper' electrics, CTS pots and quality knobs. It has a new nut set up spot on. It's Wilkinson bridge and pickup are good quality items. It sounds great, it looks tremendous with it's black/black/maple style. It's cost over £400 to get to this state and yes it's still only a Vintage. I understand that.

It goes for £250 + delivery or I keep it. I have 8 basses with a custom incoming so can't really justify keeping it but a spare P bass never goes amiss I suppose

Bump before withdrawing and keeping

Maybe I need to try to sell another bass. Can'r decide which one though, like giving away a child.

Due to complete lack of interest in this great bass, understandably as stated above, I'm keeping it.
