BITSA 52'P Lindy Fralin, Mahogany,bound maple neck £250 ON HOLD - *SOLD* £300 West Wales

[JohnDaBass]

 

 

 

NOW £250

A deteriorating arthritis condition in by left hand has forced me to play short scale basses exclusively.

Consequently, I am downsizing the herd.

THIS IS NOT A FENDER.

Here I have for sale a Bitsa project based on my year of birth and on a Mike Lull 51'P

The body is a Guitar Build two-piece mahogany 54’P profile finished in multiple coats of True Oil with a Lindy Fralin split 51’P 5% over wound pickup. The bridge is a Fender USA bridge taken from my 1994 Fender P Deluxe. The loom is a @KiOgon CTS V & T and Switchcraft socket.

The neck is an aftermarket maple bound "J" neck with block inlays.

This is a fantastic bass to play and has an Ole School vibe that hugs your body.

There is a full storyline on this build in the Build Diaries section

Coming from someone who as built several 51 style P-basses, this is an absolute steal.

 

Good quality components paired with a lovely visual, whoever buys this will make plenty folk envious.

 

@JohnDaBass sorry to hear circumstances are forcing this sale 🙁

Absolute bargain, GLWTS.

Thank you. I can just about tell myself it's too much for me. VGLWTS. It's a wonderful looking thing and I'm a huge fan of 5% overwound Fralin pickups (a new one is half the cost of this bass, as good as).
