SOLD pending usual - quality FrankenFender p-bass with jazz neck

[Paul S]

For sale my FrankenFender p-bass in glossy black, black scratch plate, maple neck, gold hardware, EMG pickup. All quality fittings and nicely put together. I bought it in August last year from fellow basschatter Davetbass - [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=59113&hl=davetbass"]here is the thread[/url]. Put together nicely from quality bits - I believe the neck is Mighty Mite. No idea what the body started life as. There is a cheeky Fender JAzz decal on the headstock - neck is jazz skinny but a tad deeper than my Jaguar.

It looks magnificent. It plays and sounds just like you would expect. Generally it is in great condition -some buckle rash at the back, the front is largely blemish-free. There is a dink on the bottom end I have tried to picture. The finish at the rear base of the neck has been removed at some stage - I guess when fitting. The EMG pickup sounds great, though the output does seem less than my Jaguar bass. No idea if this is what you would expect but I thought I would mention it. I need to turn the amp up a tad to get the same volume, but when I do it performs nicely.

I bought it as a back up bass but have been well and truly bitten by the inscrutable Matsumoku bug and just bought a JapCrap one for this purpose - this has to go.

I would like £175 - if you come and pick it up from Benfleet in Essex that is what it would cost. Posted in a sturdy box and sent via Parcelforce 48 it would be £190. I have a tweed Fender-a-like hard case I don't require - posted in that would be £205. Collected in that £190.

What is the pickup - is it an active EMG? Does it have the EMG decal?

Hi Jim

No decal and no batteries (but do active pups need batteries? I know pre-amps do . I have no idea)

Anyway, here is a pic:

And here is another dink I didn't take a pic of:

That is a nice looking bass. And if it has gone through Davetbass's hands it will be a cracker.
Interested in trades at all?, I've gone all P bass recently and this would look nice against my white one!

Sorry - I have too many as it is, otherwise I would probably keep it.

No worries Paul, I'll see if it's still around after I've sold my Spector 5 string (.........although I doubt it)
