Temporary insanity price drop to £650. New bass inbound, so need to move one out.

American Pro....not American Performer Specifications Neck: Maple, Modern “C” Neck Finish: Satin Polyurethane. Fingerboard: Maple, 9.5” (241 mm) Frets: 20, Jumbo. Position Inlays: Black Dots. Nut (Material/Width): Synthetic Bone, 1.625” (41.3 mm) Tuning Machines: Fender® “F” Light-Weight Vintage-Paddle Keys with Tapered Shafts. Scale Length: 34” (864 mm) Pretty much the best thing about the American Pro P bass in my opinion, hence why I built a bass around it. Lovely neck to play and vet stable.

if @karlfer doesn't take it, count me in. i drive past Woking every week, so could do local pick up.

Great bass! I gigged mine for a year until I went with P basses, but would happily go back to Betsy in the future.

Correct!

Neck is American Pro I. I'll adjust that in the listing....thanks for the heads up. It's strung with d'Addario Chrome flats and the silks are always really long on them so I spaced the E string out with a spacer to keep the silks off the saddle.

Built this up when I was on my P bass quest and it barely missed out on my number one spot for my go to P bass. I've gone with my Am. Perf. PJ as a slightly more versatile bass, but this P bass oozes vintage yet with a modern flair with the 2021 American Pro (Version I) neck that gets you carbon reinforcement rods, rolled fretboard edges and the new tapered shaft tuners. It's got that Pino Palladino vibe in loads....at a fraction of the price. The body is form NW guitars (American Alder) and is painted with 2 light coats of NW guitar fiesta red nitro over a nitro white primer. Although currently pristine, this bass will certainly "mojify" with use as the instruments of old have since it's done with a light nitro spray. The neck also received a vintage amber nitro coat. One thing to mention is that when I used the dremel to notch out the body and scratch plate for the truss rod tool access, I slightly missed the alignment, so it's slightly off center, only noticable if you really look closely and does not affect using a truss rod tool. And, by the way, I can include an original Fender truss rod tool with the bass. Weighs in at 4.02 kg (8.86ibs.) It's wired with a custom harness to these specs: Matched CTS USA Custom Audio Taper 250K Split Shaft Volume & Tone Potentiometers - smooth linear volume and tone change (no bunching or on/off effect) 0.022uF Sprague "Orange Drop" Tone Capacitor - removes the thinness and harshness inherent with budget capacitors Quality Jack Socket And the pick ups are '63 Fender Pure Vintage. The bridge is from an American Performer and the cavities are shielded. Strung with d'Addario Chrome flats. I use a spacer usually with Chromes as the silks are longer than other strings, hence why on the E string you see a spacer....it's to keep the silk off the saddle. All my d'Addario equipped basses have these spacers. Happy to meet near the coast (Lymington) or London area. Happy to ship within the UK as well.

PM'd my good man!

Looks good! I'll take it if still available? Banks deets and I can send your way.... G

Thanks Roger! Yes, fantastic bass, just really need the neck to be a smidgeon smaller.....but still, considering keeping it sounds so great.

Stand by, going to weigh it properly when I dig out my postal scale.
