Fender Cabronita bass *more trades added and big price drop* - *SOLD* £630 Bolton

[Pow_22]

Fender Cabronita Bass – Made in Mexico and dates to May 2014 according to the serial.

This one has been modded by myself to match the specs of the Limited Edition Borrocha and Porazzo versions in that I have upgraded the pickup to a TV Jones Supertron which gives a much improved string balance with the blade construction rather than the individual pole pieces.  At the same time as this I took the opportunity to upgrade the wiring to a KioGon harness but swapping the usual cabronita .22 cap for a standard .47 cap to give a smoother, warmer tone.

 

I’ve also swapped out the Fender badass copy bridge to a semi spiral bridge giving a more vintage vibe and again more akin to the ltd editions versions.  This matches the bridge that comes on the ltd edition ones too.

 

Ive had both the squier and the fender version and the neck on the fender is far superior, a real nice vintage type neck with a nice solid depth to it.  The previous owner on this one took the laquer off the back of the neck to give a smooth played in feel.  Furthemore the Fender version comes with the vintage style reverse tuners.

 

I have fitted flatwounds to this which gives an awesome beefy growl of a tone.  These basses are certainly ‘hotter’ that standard P basses and have a more grainy/growly tone especially through a nice valve amp.

 

Collection would be from Bolton or can travel within reasonable distance for a basschat style meetup

 

Trades/part ex -

* Fender jaguar modern player (black/white/maple black block long scale one)

* Yamaha BB434 in black

* Squier 77 jazz bass (black/maple/white blocks

* an Ampeg SVT Tube DI would be really handy right now!

Cash sale preferred but just throwing it out there

Oh mate...I've just bought a MIM black Player Precision or.....❤️‍🩹

This was possibly one of the best sounding fenders I’ve ever owned, I just couldn’t deal with the  classic fender neck. 
good luck with the sale mate!

Price drop to £575 due to ebay pricing.  Also i am visiting Sheffield on Wednesday this week and then Walsall/Birmingham next Thursday if that helps anyone who may be interested but struggling with distance

Any sound clips? I’m after something grainy/growly almost fuzz but not. Hard to put into words.

Sure, ill bring my orange bass terror home from the studio tonight and lay something down

Final bump before i take this to be traded in. Also, used it at rehearsal tonight so it is now currently wearing rounds

I built myself a copy of this bass with a Telecaster (guitar) body shape and the same pickup. That pickup alone is (was?) around $200 alone. And it sounds amazing in mine. I play hard rock/metal and it blows your head of whether played clean or with distortions/fuzzes.

 

I have no relationship or know Pow_22 at all, just saying that I'm pretty sure that that bass is a banger and I'd be in trouble if I didn't have one already 😄

so, this has failed to sell on here or ebay.  One last offer then i guess - £425 cash on collection?
