4 candles Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) Howdy all, I have just ordered a custom bass and so my current 3 basses are surplus to requirements to fund my new toy. first up is a bit of a modified/hybrid fender precision which is quite unusual but never the less still very exciting. I brought the bass from a fellow musician, the body and neck are made in japan and so I am assuming the electics and pots are also. The seller removed the lettering on the rear of the neck as he was embarrassed that it had made in japan on!!! I previously had a 62 p bass that I couldn't commit the time to restoring so sold the neck, body and electrics but kept all the hardware and scratchplate. Basically I have decorated this japaneese P bass with vintage parts including the scratchplate, control nobs, bridge etc. I haven't got round to fitting the tuning keys as yet but will include this into the sale. the bass itself plays fantasticly, great neck and setup but passive basses are not really my cup of tea. In terms of use this has been played at home mainly with me venturing out on one occasion in a live situation. The drummer commented that "it looked like a Tomato" Looking for £700 or any sensible offers, Im located in Birmingham and you are welcome to drop in for some coffee and to try it out as long as you teach me some "hot licks" in exchange. as I mentioned before I have some other beauties up for grabs so watch this space!!! Warmest regards Mark [attachment=33278:60__s_spares_001.jpg] [attachment=33277:60__s_spares_002.jpg] [attachment=33279:60__s_spares.jpg] [attachment=33280:60__s_spares_003.jpg] [attachment=33281:60__s_spares_006.jpg] [attachment=33282:60__s_spares_007.jpg] Edited October 12, 2009 by 4 candles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
