For sale. A wonderful 'Greco' P Bass from the Japanese factory that produced basses for Fender back in the day. These basses are great instruments and are sought after by those in the know.  This is a particularly fine example.

Serial Number E 812272 dates it as a 1981 instrument (as far as I can tell) and you can see it's been well looked after by its excellent condition. Finished in a lovely three tone sunburst. Guitar was owned by the bass player from Southern England club band 'Creative Covers' and was acquired by my mate Nigel (Bumnote) from his Wife after the guy passed away a couple of years back. Nigel has, sadly, also taken an 'early bath' (April this year) and his Wife has asked me to sell on his Bass collection ( he had 11 - really had the bass bug). 

Interestingly, a previous owner (or maybe factory fitted? I can't tell) has added a novel string damper device that really works well - easy to use - just flip the lever and hey presto. A useful addition I think.

Apart from a few very minor scratches and the odd ding (see pics), none of which are highly visible or detract from the beauty of the instrument,  this Bass is in remarkable condition for it's age and I'm sure that the player who buys this beauty will be 'over the moon' with it. Looks, sounds and handles like a P Bass should.

 

Good quality gig bag s included.

 

I'd prefer collection/pick up but can arrange fully insured parcel delivery for an additional (approximately) £20

It's an aftermarket one, Bass-Mute, https://www.bassmute.eu/bm_mainframe.html. Difficult to find, and quite pricey.

I've got one on my Nash.

This looks rather nice, what neck profile is it, and what's the nut width? Headstock graphics are quality, Brazen Picker Professional lol.
