[font=Helvetica][size=2]The bass is all original in every sense from finish to pickups to electronics, strap pegs, tuners, bridge etc. The only exceptions are the pickup height adjustment screws and the zero fret which was professionally replaced when recently set up by Mike Walsh (Zoot bass luthier). The original zero fret is included in the sale.[/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2]The neck is a 30” short scale with a lovely piece of bound dark rosewood, mop dot inlays and of a width and string spacing comparable to a precision. The neck and body are in great shape for a 50 year old bass with no real dings to speak of but a fair few lacquer cracks and checking… Nothing that affects stability though. In addition three of the scratch plates have a missing corner due to shrinkage (see photos). Also, one of the machine head gear covers has been dented and straightened out as best as possible (again see pics). The electronics are fairly quiet for their age but there is a tiny bit of a scratchy noise on one of the tone pots. This is minimal and is not a serious crackle that would upset any sound men if you change settings mid gig.[/size][/font]


[font=Helvetica][size=2]Ive owned this bass for just over 20 years when it was bought for me for my 21st birthday which makes it a bit of a wrench to say goodbye to. However, since venturing into the world of J and P basses it has just been collecting dust. I’m now out of space and anyway it deserves to be played![/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2]Audition at my home in Essex (drinks/biscuits provided) or I can meet within a sensible distance or I can ship and will even split the cost. It doesn't come with a case but I’m sure I can figure out a way of getting it to you safely.[/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2]Mostly interested in a straight sale to part fund an incoming custom order but I’ll listen to trade ideas with cash going in either direction so try me. I like Ps and Js but am quite broad minded :-)[/size][/font]

[font=Helvetica][size=2]Thanks for looking![/size][/font]
