Reluctantly selling my original, 1972 P-Bass in black with a maple fretboard and white pick guard.

Includes original pick up cover, ash tray bridge cover and orange lined hard case (not pictured as itā€™s in the loft!)

Neck date is JUL72 (I think) but itā€™s been a while since I had the neck off - definitely summer 72.

Bass is light weight, at around 8lbs. Strap locks fitted but original strap buttons are included.

The instrument was purchased from Angel Guitars on Denmark St. London - the last owner was James Stevenson of various bands including Billy Idol, Generation X, Gene Loves Jezebel, Chelsea Punk Band and at the time I bought it he was gigging live with The Cult.

Overall condition is excellent for a 47 year old bass. Some cracking mojo especially the lovely patina on the top edge of the neckĀ šŸ˜€

Give me a shout if you have any questions. Would prefer collection in person however Iā€™m prepared to ship via courier at cost as long as youā€™re happy to pay for full insurance.

I also travel all over the UK for work and would be very, very happy to meet and exchange at a mutually suitable time and location.

Any questions please fire away.

Oooooh........ Ā never seen a black one so old....

Mind you, I havenā€™t been looking I guess.

GLWTS matey......

Black was still a custom colour back then, so they are not so common. :)Ā 

Lovely bass... Angel Music was my favourite honest vintage shop. James was a co-owner and knows a good guitar when he sees it, Iā€™m sure this one is a beauty, especially at that weight.Ā 

Iā€™m currently P-less which is odd, but on the abstinence challenge, so unfortunately Iā€™ll leave the joy of owning this one to someone else!Ā

A month too late for me!

I wonder how many tunes this was used on?

James Stevenson is a guitar player, so not many I guess. I couldn't find any pictures of him with a bass. Would be interesting to find out if he used it to perform or record..

He bought it while on tour in the US because ā€œ I just loved itā€ was what he told me.

Ā 

i visited his house to collect the hard case and had a good chat with him at the time.

Great stuff - Stansted would be easiest for me, Brum is doable and I'd be happy to meet :)Ā
