For sale is my 1977/78 Fender P bass. This is a very reluctant sale, but I am playing very little bass at the moment, so something has to go I'm afraid.

The bass is 100% original and comes with an early 80's Fender case. There is no chrome pickup cover however but it does come with thumb rest, original strap pins and bridge cover.

It is strung currently with a new set of TI Flats and the action is low and super-comfortable. The bass sounds wonderful too; everything from dubby Motown through to clangy Stranglers. Weight-wise it's very comfortable and Is between 9-9.4lbs according to my luggage scales.

The colour has faded beautifully to a lovely sunburst finish and although there are a number of chips and dings. These have all been gained in the line of duty and through many years of playing.

Structurally it's one of the good ones from this era and very well put together indeed. The neck is B profile, so while thicker than a Jazz, it's still very comfortable to play.

I'm not really looking to post this bass and really think it should be viewed in person to appreciate it better as the photos don't do it much justice. It can be viewed either in Bristol (weekdays) or Woking (weekends).

This is for sale at £1,375. I would consider trades for Fender Custom Shop Stratocasters or Telecasters, or a Gibson Les Paul Standard/Custom in excellent condition :)

:lol: :lol:

I notice a certain surreptitious editing of post#1 at 5.32pm :mellow:

Anyway, I've put something else up for sale somewhere else and I've crossed my fingers.
GLWTS regardless.

Quite a bit of interest Nick, considering the options I have for advertising it.
Mind, too many part time dealers trying to make a fast buck as well. Good luck with that and me :P

I have a love/hate thing with Rics otherwise I'd have offered a trade. It's a stunning bass though :)
