nottswarwick Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 (edited) I love the bass. However, I'm not really using it live as in spite of trying, the neck dimensions are not totally compatible with my tendinitis. It is a lovely bass to play, has Labella flats on it, really well set up, great tone. I've played a fair few P basses incl US ones, and this one is better than most. So, I will be looking to either reluctantly sell it, or trade for a P bass with a narrower nut width. Don't get me wrong, it's not too wide, just too wide for me and my tendinitis to get along for a whole gig. Also interested in Yamaha BB, or short scale ie Mustang. Oh, it's Fiesta Red, and comes with original gig bag, schallers, etc etc. I'll try and do some pics in a bit, but it is truly almost as new. I'm disappointed, but my wrist just come first.

Geek99 Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I have tried one of these (also red, do would probably sound the same) and it was awesome Picked up a pickup of this model on eBay for use into custom bass - it was that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBassBob Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I tried one of these a few years ago and was actually blown away. Average action but the one I tried was very resonant and had a healthy P-bass growl. I was tempted to dip into the overdraft to grab that one there and then. Same colour too. Good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottswarwick Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks. It's only for my wrist that it is being put up for sale. If it doesn't go I won't be gutted, I play it at home all the time. Will trade for a P with a slimmer nut, of a Jazz, or a short scale something maybe. Or cash.

Kev Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Tempted.com! I was after a classic vibe in the same colour, but this looks great!

nottswarwick Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Lol, this bass is actually now staying with me. Bass biscuits and I have mutually decided to cancel the transaction. It's a great bass, not 100% right for either of us! but it am keeping it for now at least. All is good Great to meet you Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Depends what you mean by hearty. It's a wide nut, but the profile front to back is medium to my hands, or even bordering on slim. It is NOT like a baseball bat at all. Let's settle on slim but wide. It is really easy to play, but as stated above my low grade tendonitis is the only reason to sell it. Come and try it.
