darwin Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Hi, I bought a P special last year but haven't played it much wishing I'd of kept my old passive P bass.

MythSte Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I REALLY want that P, Is it a Jazz style neck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 It's the Mexican Deluxe series so more than a Standard. I've sold a bunch of guitars from this series. £350 is priced to sell for a relatively quick sale but if you put it higher it will go. No experience selling Warwicks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice basses for the money. I'd be very tempted, but simply can't justify another 4 string! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemmywinks Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 FWIW i played one of those Ps the other night, loads of decent beefy sounds to be had just from the blend knob. The one i tried had crackly pots and a noisy pre (it was ex demo, the guy paid £435 if memory serves) so it was a bit off-putting but i was still very impressed. It was a slap monster and had a very assertive fingerstyle sound, i'd gig it any day I'd love to try one that didn't have the faults that one had, although i'd probably end up buying it! I think P + J is my new favourite pickup configuration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 il offer my 2 cents.. Im quite an eagle eye in terms of watching basses sell (and not buying them ) I would say a fair price for the mim fender would be around the £325-£400 mark, say £360. The rockbass i would probably expect £150-£200. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockwave Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I had exact same Fender, But it had Seymour duncan quarter pounders, I bought it for 250-260 and sold it for the same amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
