Although it's admirable that you are willing to give it a try, I don't think it's a sound idea. Will pm you.

Another thumbs up for obbm. Top man to deal with and quality kit at decent prices.

Amen, bass brother

I've just taken delivery of a P bass body from Mike, who was a pleasure to deal with. The body was as described and well packaged. Thanks.

Given how you feel about it and the general low standard, walk away. Life's too short. I did the same earlier this year, not because the standard was low, it was actually very good but other reasons were preventing us from progressing. I had realised this right from the start but kept at it, hoping the situation would improve. It didn't and was never likely to, so I did what I should have done a year earlier and left. Had a break from playing for a few weeks and then did some depps and started the search for another band. Someone actually found me a few weeks later. Like someone else mentioned, we are a rare breed. I cam remember that I did find it frustrating with Join my band and other sites, there are an awful lot of bedroom rockers and also middle aged blokes with all the gear, who want to kick up a din once a week every week for ever and ever but not actually gig, Also the band that have got the EP recorded, just waiting for George Martin to find a gap in his diary to mix it down for them.and blah blah ..............but there are some decent ones out there and one of them will need you Good luck with it whatever you decide.

A 59 P bass for less than the cost of a 70's one, I would be/am truly suspicious. Bargain postage price too.

Yes it looks good. Quality parts too. Be interesting to see if anyone bites. I think most buyers are reluctant to spend out on a bitsa, even when put together as nicely as this one looks to be. Added to watch list

Lovely

Welcome. enjoy the site. Hope you find the bass that you want.

Could the neck be twisted?

Hope it's a splendid experience for you.

Wow. What an instrument, super shiney. Isn't it ironic Nige, you love a modern space age looking bass but Mr Crabtree style fishing tackle

Hi Marvin. Have you checked out Lemonrock? It seems that a lot of the ads for muscicians on there are from your neck of the woods.

Yes maybe, but it just gave me the hump and i hit the delete

Thanks Colin, I had a mail from him last night. Hopefully no one will be fooled by him.

Looking good and it should make it a whole lot nicer to play.

Got flats on my recently purchased P, don't know what make but they have blue windings and sound so good.

Some lovely instruments , thanks for sharing

Sounds like a fine idea Pete
