Fender MIJ Traditional Original '50s P Bass £550 Welwyn Garden City

[Tokalo]

I bought this beautiful bass last year for a project that has managed just two gigs in 18 months. I recently joined a new band and now need a different coloured bass.

 

Before I bought it, I tried out the Squier and US versions, and this one has by far the smoothest, most playable, modern-feeling neck.
 

It weighs 3.8kg / 8.4lb.

It’s a joy to play, and the pickup is thunderous.

 

I’ve swapped in the Retrovibe 4-brass-saddle dual-entry bridge for easier intonation (the original will be included). 

 

There’s a small dink by the bridge (pictured). Otherwise, there are no marks.

 

It’s got new GR Balanced Nickel strings, and comes with a Fender gigbag.

 

However.

While it’s perfectly playable with a low action, the truss rod won’t tighten any further. The action at 12 fret is 3mm, 
so it’s fine with lower tension strings, but would struggle with thicker gauges.

That’s why I’m selling so cheap.

If anyone wants to buy this, I think I've still got some washers somewhere that sit under the truss rod nut to give you some extra adjustment. I had them machined for a neck I had with a similar issue. If I can't find them you can have them FOC.
