Hi guys,

I am selling my 1994, '57 RI, two tone sunburst, maple necked, made in Japan P-bass. A great looking, playing and sounding guitar.

I purchased this from someone on basschat before Christmas and am now looking to sell it on. The main reason is a prefer the Jazz bass to a P-bass which is a shame as its a stunning guitar.

Neck and frets are in great condition and it has a lovely low action. I think its strung with D'Addario XL Chromes.

On the headstock some of the lacquer is starting to lift and on the body there are some cracks on the lacquer. The best way to describe it is if some one had run a razor blade across the body. The previous owner said this was caused by a sudden temp change and the lacquer shrunk.

As far as I can tell I only the lacquer is affected and not the colour coat or wood. Also the G tuning key is slightly bent on the top of the key. I only just noticed when I was taking the photos today. Bass can be shipped and comes with a kinsman hard case. Let me know where you want the bass shipped to and I will get a price. Bass weighs 4.1Kgs.

Photos are click-able and will take you to the full res version and the rest of the photos in the set on flickr

This was my bass and I had it stoned at the gallery in Camden which have it a new lease of life.

Awesome P bass!!!

You may want to check the year again - from memory I thought it was a 94! :) may be wrong but If I'm right it will hold even more appeal to most ;)

If I was in the market I'd buy it back as you won't find another p like this flying around for this sort of dosh

Ashwood you are correct it is a 1994 and I have edited the opening post :) The neck is even date stamped 1.2.94 I cannot believe its a 20 year old guitar.

Beautiful looking bass. Obviously cared for by its owners.
You are correct about the strings. D'Addario XL Chromes, ECB81.

I also must salute your impressive photographic skills. :)
