1972 stripped Fender P Bass £2350 Clitheroe

[Duroc17]

Incredibly reluctant sale - but honestly, could do with cash at mo, but if it doesnt go it's a sign and i'll regret this - my dream P - John Deaconesque 1972 that was originally LPB has been stripped back and the seal is like the silkiest feel ever - it plays like a dream - sounds incredible - has been modded to house EMG active pickup but put back to original pups - it's alder body so very light (8ish lbs) and super resonant - i often forget i'm unplugged jamming at home - this thing just plays itself - with B nut width of 41mm and proper rosewood board - the frets are worn down but it makes it so smooth - just had deluxe set up at Doghouse Phil's workshop with brand new GHS pressurewounds - a few dings here and there but for a 53 year old bass not that many have pictured biggest - comes with 3 scratchplates- black, red tort and original 72 white that's aged see pics -it's actually slightly a tad darker wood than in pics  - the sticker on back of headstock is removable no problems, but thought it looked cool

 

Priced to sell at £2350, is my bottom line (it's less than what i paid and work/ strings ive put into it) - so wont haggle - that's the price and you're getting a stellar bass - I have a double box i can send it in or for £50 extra can throw in a case

 

I'd rather you come to Clitheroe or within an hour to play it and fall in love with it (i feel a bit sick writing this) but postage to UK will have to include insurance so prob £50 again 

 

If i've forgotten anything or you want to come see it - or have questions please contact me

Absolutely lovely! Has the entire bass been stripped (front of headstock apart)? Also, has the heel been slightly reshaped (could be just the finish or light in the images)? A very cool bass

Yes think so. Absolutely grade A sanding and sealing job - done by someone who knows what they’re doing. Not sure about the heal but really comfortable

I don’t normally like stripped basses, but that is a lovely finish

Great looking bass, beautiful dark rosewood board makes a really good contrast with the stripped body.

Bottom pic of me playing is at a festival and represents what colour the bass is.
