For sale is a Fender Mike Dirnt P Bass in fantastic condition in 2 tone sunburst. It is made in Mexico and is in wonderful condition with no obvious wear or dings. Build quality is superb and there is some nice figuring on the back of the neck. The body grain is gorgeous too.

It's in full working order and no issues whatsoever and was set up and fitted with La Bella Deep Talkin Flats recently. It also comes with a brand new Ritter padded gigbag which cost me £40. It also comes with both the original and a black 51 P Bass pickguard that is currently fitted.

The vintage 59 pickup sounds (as my Father In Law would say) "Hooooj".

I gigged with this last night on a couple of songs and it looks, feels (thanks to the contoured upper bout) superb. It's essentially a modded 51 P Bass but all the better for the mods in my opinion.

Dimensions/specs etc are here:

The cheapest I can find this new in the UK (in this colour scheme) is £629. With the upgraded gigbag, 2 pickguards, La Bellas and set up, I am looking for £440 (plus £20 P&P but happy for a pickup or meet half-way).

Need to get a decent set up done but I was intending on keeping the body and fitrting a new model P Bass neck to it.

Happy to potentially sell the bass complete though. It's the 2 tone sunburts version and is lovely :)

[quote name='Johnston' post='925091' date='Aug 14 2010, 07:07 PM']These are cracking and much underrated basses.

Any sound clips of it with the Labellas I was thinking of putting a set on mine[/quote]

Thanks mate :)

No sound clips I'm afraid but it does sound wonderful and really smooth

Lots of interest so far but no takers.[/quote]

Hey OHM,

I'm a bit confused/thick, is the bass for sale the original Mike Dirnt, or if it's been moded what has been changed???

Cheers F61

Hi Farmer

It's a standard Mike Dirnt with just a change of pickguard and strings. Nothing else has been modded at all.

Cheers
