Hi everyone,

I’ve decided to list my trusty P Bass. Not a desperate sale; I’m just not playing anymore, and it’d be nice to get this into the hands of someone who will use it properly.
 

As you can see, it’s a great example of an old school ash-body, maple-board P Bass. Ready for punk and indie, but can handle soulful RnB all the same.

 

This is a player’s instrument with the following mods:

Nordstrand NP4 pickup - Arguably the best pickup for a P Bass..

BadassII bridge installed at some point - Just the badass-est bridge ever!

CTS pots - The originals probably wore out. For me, this just ensures the bass works.

Dimarzio Cliplock strap, but I have some traditional strap buttons, too.

 

I have had the bass refretted with narrow/tall frets, and as a result it plays like a dream; and I have used Daddario Chromes solidly, meaning there is no wear whatsoever.

 

The body has some wear where a previous owner had fitted and removed a thumb rest, and the neck has some areas where the finish has come away, but this is no way affects playability. I’ve tried to show this in the images, but I can provide more if needed. There’s some nice flame on the back of the neck, too, which looks quite nice.

 

I know the important question with basses from the era is the weight, which in this case is a healthy 5Kg.
 

I will happily include the MONO Vertigo case shown in the images, but please be aware that I will not ship the bass. I am selling due to not playing anymore, so please don’t offer trades.

 

All the best,

Ad

Lovely bass.

Thanks. The feel of the neck is great, and the sound of it is really something to behold with the ew pickup. Just a shame for it to be stuck in the case. This deserves to be used!

That's a ringer for the Paul Simonon London Calling Bass....same year.  Advantage is that yours is in one piece and maybe you could get arty with the scratchplate :)

I pride myself on treating my stuff with respect. Certainly in better nick that Paul’s 😅
