dodgnofski Posted Friday at 18:22 Posted Friday at 18:22 (edited) 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. 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! 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? What Fender say…………….

dodgnofski Posted Friday at 19:13 Author Posted Friday at 19:13 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😟😟🙏🙏🙈🙈! 1 Quote

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. 1 Quote
