john_the_bass Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Right - I got this P from Lloyd in a trade for the Jazz that I got here too. It's a Black/Black/Maple USA Precision from 04 with a couple of marks on it. I got it because I was a real Precision fanboy (and still am), however - with the decision made that I am going to leave the band I am in and join another, the band that I am thinking of joining do lots of stuff in Eb and I am sort of thinking that being able to go [i]down[/i] to Eb rather than up, might be quite handy. I love Precisions, and this one is as good as any USA P that I have played, but I can't help thinking that a 5 might be more useful in the coming months. A pic on request (as I've not actually taken any yet). I like - traditional shapes and styles - think Precision/Jazz/Musicman - and I prefer 34" scale, passive basses. I don't like - singlecuts, small bodies, 'modern' shapes Unfortunately I don't have any cash to add and at the moment I have by no means made up my mind, but if you have something you think I might like, do let me know - although no promises!

john_the_bass Posted November 26, 2009 Author Share Posted November 26, 2009 (edited) Quick title edit. Having missed Phil_the_bassist's Sandberg JM5 up for sale, this is back to trade only guys, sorry. Comes in a Hiscox and with a brand new set of DR Hi-Beams fitted. There are some marks on it, there is a very small soldering iron burn on the body by the jack plug, some general play wear and a couple of miniscule lacquer chips on the edge of the fingerboard that was all there when I got it. Other than that it's a great bass - made in 04. Very Q&D pic as I am in the middle of cooking the tea but I am happy to take more pics as and when they are required.

dannybuoy Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 If you don't go for the Sandberg then might I suggest this, the best passive 5 string PJ out there that doesn't cost an arm and a leg: [url="http://www.rattleanddrum.com/product/3110/yamaha-bb415-bass-black-pearl-5-string"]http://www.rattleanddrum.com/product/3110/...-pearl-5-string[/url] I want a 5 string P myself but may get one of these instead since they're on sale for £269...

john_the_bass Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 Thanks for the suggestion but if Phil's Sandberg goes before I can sell this, then my P will be withdrawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) And photos emailed. This bass is only for sale while Phil's Sandberg [b]5[/b] is still available - if it sells before I have a chance to sell this, then this P will go back to trade only for a 5 as I have gigs coming up and can't really be without a bass. And more photos: Terrible pic - sorry Edited November 27, 2009 by john_the_bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 On ebay for a price sufficient to cover the fees! I will of course end the auction for the price specified in this thread for BCers that are intersted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martthebass Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Used to tune my P bass down to Eb to cover Lizzy numbers - not an option? Sounded fine on my 2004 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_the_bass Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 No - too confusing as I'm still learning the songs and I'd rather have a 5 for ease of use I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerdragon Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 If anyone wants a Sunburst jazz with S1 switching i could have this. that's the only way i could get it unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_the_bass Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 Likewise if anybody has a 5 that I may be interested in, that would be interested in BD's S1 Jazz, maybe we could arrange some kind of three way deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted November 30, 2009 Author Share Posted November 30, 2009 Thank you sir. Unfortunately as I've missed out on the Sandberg 5, I'm putting this back to trade only for now. Looking for trades for a trad looking (P or J or MM) style 5 string, including an MM Sub 5. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 (edited) I've just been let go from the band I was in (technically the old bass player, whose availability is much better than mine, wants to come back) and whilst I'm not bothered, I don't need to move this on for a 5.

john_the_bass Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Absolutely Clarky, I couldn't agree more. The problem I was having was that I play guitar in two other bands and am not prepared to give those up for the benefit of another project, which meant the band I joined was suffering a bit - but having me was better than having no bass player at all. There's no animosity - I only had to travel 5 minutes down the road and I don't think it cost me anything to practice with them - plus a get a night off now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
