My really nice P Bass which I would rate as being in excellent 9/10 condition with just a few play wear marks mainly to the pick guard, tiny piece of the headstock decal missing + small dings & play wear marks, the worst being near the bridge cover / rear strap button area - please see pics. The black mark on the rear of the otherwise unmarked neck is ‘in the wood’ & not damage, + the headstock is clean & free from damage.

 

I’ve owned & played umpteen P Basses over the past half Century and I can honestly say that this is right up there with the best of them - in my humble opinion of course.

 

Alder Body, Maple Neck & beautiful dark Rosewood Board.

 

Very low action all the way up the fingerboard with spot on relief thanks to level frets & a Pro set up which makes this P Bass very easy to play, plus very well balanced at 3.9kg, or 8.59lbs in old money.

 Nut width is 44mm + nice & shallow in depth, so very comfortable to play.

 

Fully functioning easy to turn both ways Truss Rod, which can be adjusted without removing the neck

 

Neck & neck pocket are as tight as the proverbial Gnats Chuff!

 

Reverse Vintage stylee tuners.

 

New set of La Bella Low Tension Flats just fitted.

 

Fender USA superb quality C & G black hard case, with plush red interior & key included in virtually mint condition.

 

Numbered Fender Certificate of Authenticity + both ashtrays, tug bar & Case Candy, including a couple of handy zipped pouches.

 

Lovey playing / sounding P Bass that I’m sure the new owner will be ‘cock a hoop’ with!

 

This beauty is all original, apart from the pick guard screws which l’ve changed for black ones as l think they look better than the silver finish ones, but the originals will be included so they can be swapped back if required.

 

I believe these were based on a ‘63 P Bass rather than the newer American Original 60’s ll which I think are based on a ‘62 P?

That’s a beauty mr d 👌

Thank you Mr. R. If it sells I’m sure I will be just as devastated as when I sold my last AVRI P Bass, but as I’m only noodling in my dotage it seems a bit extravagant to hang on to it - especially when the MOT on my jalopy is due next month😟😟🙏🙏🙈🙈!

That's lovely.

 

The AVII 60s P is 1960.

 

Differences AFAICS: Tighter fingerboard radius (7.5"), marginally narrower nut (by 0.5mm), 4-ply pickguard with steel backplate, 1960 pickups.

 

Aldo reverse tuners, not sure if thec63 has those.

[dodgnofski]

Thank you, I’d forgotten to mention it has the vintage stylee reverse tuners - I’ve amended the post now👍

 Very nice Tim. These are great basses! GLWYS.

[dodgnofski]

Thanks David, 

 

Love the necks on these, they seem to play themselves - which in my case is a very good thing😟😟😂😂👍

[MyNameIsMark]

I have one from this series, they’re incredible, worth every penny, I wish I could afford one with flats & one with rounds, but I can’t, so GLWYS!
