chrkelly Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 A great P bass from Performance Guitars in LA. If you've never heard of them before they make & maintain instruments for the who's who of LA's session musicians. [url="http://performanceguitar.com/"]http://performanceguitar.com/[/url] This bass has a standard wide early 60's neck with a slab rosewood fingerboard. The body is olympic white over fiesta red nitro in true vintage Fender style. You can see the red through a couple of dings here & there. It's a great playing instrument and sounds fat & warm like any good p bass should. I always had compliments from colleagues & sound guys when using it. The build quality easily compares to the likes of Sadowsky & US Lakland. Barrie (Molan) owned it before me when it was wearing black hardwear & a white pickguard. I much prefer it in its current vintage look. Selling as I only ever use my Celinder 5 these days. It's currently over at the Gallery in Camden if you want to try it out.

molan Posted September 23, 2013 Posted September 23, 2013 This is a cracking P bass! The Performance guys make some really excellent instruments and they incredibly rare over here. I've owned a couple and both were really nice. Only reason I sold this one was because I tend to play thinner slim vintage J type necks these days.
chrkelly Posted September 24, 2013 Author Posted September 24, 2013 Cheers Barrie, it's a great bass but I always need 5 strings for work, otherwise I'd keep it.
