FS/FT Fender 50s P bass with bridge pickup added £390 - *SOLD* £400 Croydon

[shoulderpet]

For sale/trade is my Fender 50s P bass, collection from Croydon or if in the London area can arrange to meet. I swapped out the pickguard for a cheapy cream pickguard, I will include the original anodised gold pickguard also.

 

This bass has some cosmetic flaws hence the low price, I have seen the Fender Vintera which is the model that replaced this one but is basically the same thing going for close to a grand so I think this is a very fair price, also will trade for an Ibanez SR bass

 

I like this bass a lot and has served me well for many gigs but I really have gas for an Ibanez sr bass at the moment so this has to go

 

I have added a Dimarzio Ultra jazz bridge pickup, the P pickup has been replaced with a Warman p pickup and the person who owned the bass before me swapped the bridge for a Wilkinson bridge.

 

The controls are volume, volume and it is wired up with a solderless wiring harness.

 

In terms of the cosmetic flaws I mentioned earlier there is a finish crack from the neck pocket that extends to the bass horn, the guy who fitted the bridge pickup said he thought it was because the neck pocket was such a tight fit.

 

Action is slightly higher than I would like it but strangely enough when I had TI Jazz flats on this bass a while ago I was able to get the action quite low.

 

The bass sounds really good, the Warman pickup has a nice clarity to it and the Dimarzio Ultra jazz bridge pickup adds some high end snap.

And a picture of the bass before I added the bridge pickup so you can see what it looks like with the anodised gold pickguard.

Not sure if I still have the bridge cover or the thumbrest
