jay-syncro Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 (edited) Bass Monkey P Bass made by @Walshy. This is a very lightweight (3.75kg), resonant, high quality Precision made with some excellent parts. The neck is an old Fender Allparts "B" width neck made of quarter-sawn maple with a lovely ebony fretboard. It has a bone nut and Gotoh Resolite reverse tuners. The body is lightweight swamp ash and is fitted with a Badass II bridge, Kent Armstrong vintage pickups, CTS pots and Switchcraft jack. The nitro Lake Placid Blue finish was done by Dave Wilson to a high standard, very special indeed. It's in excellent condition, but being nitro it does have some light swirls here and there as it's been played. It'll age and wear very well over time no doubt. The bass sounds great, really punchy and full sounding. It's very loud acoustically too which is always a good thing in my book. I'm attempting to stick to one bass at the moment (stop laughing at the back!), hence the sale. Collection from Margate or I can package it up if you'd like to arrange a courier to collect. It comes with the flight case pictured. Edited February 23, 2022 by jay-syncro 9
daveybass Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 If this is anything like my @walshyprecision then it will be fantastic and a bargain as well, glwts 2
walshy Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Great bass this, it did have Custom Shop ‘62 in when I built it. It was built at such a high spec, my spec, as I was going to keep it but I like seeing them played and unfortunately didn’t see enough action from me and @Ander87really wanted it. GLWTS and whoever buys will get a magnificent bass 🤘 1
Piers_Williamson Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 A really good looking bass. My favourite colour. Can I ask why it needs the skunk strip up the back of the neck if it has a rosewood or ebony finger board on it? 1
LukeFRC Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 I’ve played this (when it had the CS pickup) - it’s nice 1

But have a bump anyway before the mods tell me off!

Simon. Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 Stop tempting me! Pretty much everything I want in a P bass, except that a) I don't really need it, and b) I don't have the cash...
