bigthumb Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Yep, another one! I got this beaut off ebay before I bankrupted myself buying the '73. Its a 1991 Japanese '62 re-issue in very good condition, with a few little dinks as you would expect. It has a very powerful output, quite a lot stronger than my other basses so whether or not the pups have been upgraded in the past is open to question. As far as I can tell they look stock. Its a lovely bass but I cannot really afford to keep it. Im asking £375 which was quite a lot less than I paid. Drop me a PM if you want any more pics or have any questions.

Guest BassKS Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hey Paul, Exactly like the P bass I bought off someone from japan off Ebay. I had trouble with my original pup as well as it was too quiet. I paid slightly more than this on t'bay and then modded it with EMGs PJs. I so would have bought this one as well and slap a Fralin on it. They sound awesome. Bump for an awesome bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Jones Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I'm pretty sure the Jap P reissues are alder. I have a more recent example of a Jap '62 and it's an absolute peach - my Sadowskys and Zons aren't getting much of a look in at the moment.

Soulfinger Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 [quote name='bassjamm' post='331623' date='Nov 18 2008, 06:20 PM']Is this Alder bodied?[/quote] Assuming the bass is all original: If it has threaded bridge saddles, it´s an alder body. If the bridge saddles are slotted, it´s basswood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
