Bump - some nice trade offers received, but not ones more interesting than cash

Now on ebay - something has to go :/

You guys win - I can't do it. Really sorry to those that expressed an interest (you will have a PM from me) *Embarrassed*

Thanks for all the kind words, it is indeed an amazing precision bass. [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1378059763' post='2195320'] Ah Jas, are you sure? [/quote] Not really, but my credit card doesn't care [quote name='wateroftyne' timestamp='1378059899' post='2195323'] Are you *sure* about this? [/quote] Ditto! [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1378080863' post='2195667'] Couple of questions if I may. Did the new tuners mean more holes or did they match the existing? What made you change them and are the originals still available? I can't quite see what strap buttons you have on it. Originals or locks? Where are you based? I can't see that information on my iPad. Thanks. [/quote] Tuners were a straight swap over, no modifications made. I did swap the bushes over, again no changes required. Originals are still with it, I just wanted to lose a little more weight and improve balance. It was already very good, but the Fender design has always been a little neck heavy to me. Strap buttons are Jim Dunlops, Original reliced fender buttons included. I'm near Ipswich in Suffolk. J

*Withdrawn* This has been a very hard decision to make but I have done some impulsive buying lately and am suffering for it, as I can't seem to move on the other 2 basses I own at the moment. You all know the score on this one - its a very early one (certificate dates it at 1st Dec 2005) and I think the relicing is excellent compared to the later ones which have a very "template relic" look to them in my opinion. The neck was replaced with a brand new one from Fender Custom Shop not long ago as the old one was confirmed to have a faulty truss rod. It has been stamped with the same serial number as the bass, although the date is now much more recent. I don't have the old neck, understandably they kept it. The new neck is nicer than the old one was anyway so it was a win-win situation! I have changed the tuners to Gotoh Res-O-Lites from Madison Music (reliced lightly). These are nicer than the originals and lighter so the entire bass is now just over 8lbs. Originals included of course. No mods required to swap back. I've also shielded the bass cavities so its now noise immune and I was impressed how much difference it made. I had to replace some of the wiring when I did it as the original stuff was the "waxed cloth" type and the cores had work hardened and some only had a strand still connected so I figured I would rather make it reliable whilst I had it apart. A few BC'ers have played this bass and have heaped praise on it. Rightly so. I can't really see any way out other than selling this or my Lull so here goes nothing.... Collection/meet up much preferred as I'm out of giant boxes to post it in at the moment.

Back from holiday bump - going on ebay at the weekend

Bump - about to take a weeks holiday, when I come back it will go on eBay if there's no takers.

[quote name='Bassistist' timestamp='1377008448' post='2182127'] any trades? [/quote] I have been considering that option - I guess vintage Fenders might be of interest or a Custom Shop Jazz. No ash/maple slap machines though

Price drop to £1700.

Ouch! Could be worse mate, I bailed out of mine 3 months before the exams To be honest I'm starting to think I can justify 2 P basses anyway because this is just too nice to get rid of so I might withdraw it anytime soon. In fact, here it is now (I've been playing it tonight) [attachment=141739:20130817_225357.jpg]

[quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1376656171' post='2177440'] Didn't expect this back up for sale so quick! [/quote] And I didn't expect it to be for sale for so long - slightly worried now, I thought these were in higher demand. They should be, its an amazing bit of craftsmanship.

No trades, need the £[s]1750[/s] back. Now £[s]1700[/s] [s]£1650[/s] £1600 This came up for sale only last week and I knew it would be a first to respond sale and I couldn't resist finding out so I bought it as it was an easy drive to collect. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/214476-mike-lull-p4-on-hold/"]http://basschat.co.u...ull-p4-on-hold/[/url] Amazingly nice bass, stupendously light (it literally feels like a toy), it will take a setup so low it highlights my utter lack of technique and the quality all round is just spot on. I've oiled the fingerboard with quite a lot of fret doctor as it was very dry and its now back to a lovely dark chocolatey brown. Other than that its exactly as it was a couple of days ago, which is to say excellent condition. I've realised there is only a need for one fretted P bass in my life and my Pino is not easy to beat. I'm quite thankful really as I was going to sell all sorts of stuff to recover my Sadowsky NYC but the same thing applies - I know if I got it back I'd still prefer the Pino for P bass-ness. So I've learned something by the process for a change Collection preferred but I can courier at buyers expense.

No trades please. Great condition, couple of little dings and buckle rash on the back, but nothing through to the wood. As these are finished in nitro they are quite susceptible to scratches and the like anyway. I've replaced the tuners with hipshot ultralites as the bass was a little neck heavy (and I've never played many fenders that aren't) and that made the balance spot on, which combined with a very low weight of 8lbs 3 oz makes it a joy to play. Original tuners are included, along with all case candy as I received the bass. Original tuners can go straight back on, but I see no decent reason to do that now. I bought this for a recent project that has not come to fruition and also an opportunity to recover an old friend means last-in, first-out applies so this has to go to raise funds Hard case in very good condition. Collection preferred (meet up somewhere is possible, depending on distance from Ipswich) but I'll ship it if needed. Must go, so now £950 I seem to have deleted the pics, will ulpoad in a bit: something for now....
