Philboyo Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) Good afternoon I am selling my nice chrome red P-Bass Deluxe Active Special MIM as i need to have a clear out of equipment. I bought it in January last year from GAK The details can be found here [url="http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/fender-p-bass/533"]http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/fender-p-bass/533[/url] and currently retail at £559 It is in very good condition as i take a care of my basses and has one ding on the headstock which can be seen from the photo but it really isnt much so i wanted to let you know. I added a bridge cover and then after a while decided that i did not like it so removed it but you can have that too if you want. It has a nice low action and plays fast as a fast thing. I would like £340 please or make me an offer and you are welcome to come and try it first.

How do you find the bridge on this - I'm used to the solidity of something like a Badass and have in the past fought a bit shy of the American Vintage bridges.

It stays in tune and is fully adjustable as it's meant to i suppose and has loads of solid sounds. Maybe someone on this forum can comment on the pros and cons of these different bridges perhaps? If you are local (ish) come and have a play and see how you get on. Cheers Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 PM'd. I've got 2 P's and love the shape and weight, but find I sometimes need another sound from the one bass. My OLP with East pre amp and bart is just too heavy for my back. This could be the answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philboyo Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 PM'd back. And the answer is " Yes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
