Vintage Tony Butler Signature - mint + Final reduction £190

[GreeneKing]

I've got my eyes firmly fixed on another bass and my Tony Butler Signature P bass needs to go.

I paid £210 for it. I fitted a Kiorgon harness to it to replace the original cheap pots with CTS pots and decent wiring/capacitor. I fitted some quality flat topped chrome knobs and it's much improved.

The fretwork wasn't ideal so I invested £110 in a fret dress and a new nut and now the fretwork is top notch (Phil Hartley in Bolton did the work).

So with the Ernie Ball nickels I've spent the best part of £400 on the bass and it's hardly been played.

It has Wilkinson Tuners/Pickup/Bridge that are a cut above the usual budget bass gear and it's nicely finished with a classic maple/black/black look with a vintage hue neck.

I had it up for sale for a firm £250 previously but needs must. This really IS a bargain believe me. Collection and viewing no problem or will deliver at cost.

34" scale and it sounds really nice.

A final bump at £180 plus delivery before eBay.

This is a great sounding, stunning looking, well built and immensely playable bass in mint condition.

It cost £400 to get this good and I'm offering it for less than half that. I have too many basses and at least one should go before my new ACG arrives. I'm not desperate for the cash and I don't really need a trade (you could try me).
