RETROVIBE P-30 IN BLACK. IMMACULATE 30" SCALE. ****NOW £250 POSTED!**** - *SOLD* £295 Guisborough

[tom1946]

Hi guys, here is my Retrovibe P-30 short scale 50's style tele-neck, bound  P bass with a smaller body.  One of a limited run of 8, as I understand, no scratchplate and  Retrovibe's own single coil pickup, which is. very full on P bass. Wilkinson hardware.  in very good condition. .

Bought from Paul to try out short scale and I find 32" scale better for me. Only reason it's for sale.

NOW ONLY £250 POSTED.

Cracking bass, this.

I’ve actually played this bass and it’s great.

Thanks guys, Paul I wouldn't be selling it if it was 32" scale. It really is quite thunderous.

Lovely bass! I'm definitely shortscale curious! 

 

What width is the nut, and what sort of profile is the neck, if you don't mind me asking?

Hmmm, the one I missed out on when it was significantly closer..!

[tom1946]

@Jackopie1 Nut is 38mm and I don't have a clue about profile? looks pretty flat to me.

 

Frank B the price is posted sir.

Yes, I'm much happier collecting though after a couple of post/courier disasters. Thanks though.

My memory is that it is something between a C and a D.

 

This really is a lovely little bass.  I can't get on with a slab body - the rubbing on my forearm is too much - otherwise I'd still own it.  The Retrovibe 9.2K Route '51 pickup is just astonishing, really packs a punch.  I have one in a 50s bitsa (with forearm contour this time) and it is just awesome.  £295 posted is a steal, I think.  It was pretty much mint when it left my hands and looks exactly the same.  A new costs £100 more.

Now a bigger bargain than ever..

This is really testing by resolve to try out a medium scale and not get second short scale.
