Hey everyone

 

Here’s a fantastic bass for your viewing pleasure!

My 1978/79 P bass! 

It’s a beautifully vibrant and light weight example too at only 8lbs 10oz with bridge and pickup covers installed.

It’s completely original complete apart from the lead and hot wires from the pickup,  pots, jack and capacitor. It has matching serial numbers on the headstock and underside of the pickguard. The wiring was all done professionally and for the good of the instrument as what was installed before was none original and a little crackly. (The parts that were previously installed can be supplied if desired) 

There are no breaks or repairs. only a small sticker on the rear of the bass that looks like it’s been there forever so I didn’t have the heart to remove it Haha!

The neck feels beautiful and is straight with a fully functioning truss rod. It is the B width most common in this era. Frets are in fantastic shape barely any wear at all. 

It has a lovely snug neck pocket which along with the nice light weight and fantastic tone would classify this as a bit of a gem really! 

Comes with a more modern fender case which suits it really well.

Any questions please just ask.

price includes UK shipping!

@CHRISDABASS The penny has dropped this morning. You're Chris from Alpher. Do you still work with Ben?

 

I'm Rob, Margaret is my step mother and sister to Tom who is Ben's Dad ! I spent a fair bit of time talking bass with Ben a few months ago at Margaret's 80th do.

 

Still mulling over buying this bass..........
