This is the by far best P i've ever owned (of all the basses i've had) - mojo city - when I got it it needed serious work for the price I paid- got the neck straightening and electrics sorted - needed new volume pot - the knurled knobs are reliced ones from Netherlands as someone put on witch hats that looked awful - I got set up with TI flats and it's the lowest action ever (the video below was supporting Peter Bruntnell and Pete their bassist said it was the lowest action he'd seen and loved the bass) - just plays like a dream but due to stupid GAS i'm funding a custom build (dream 50s P with my slant on it) - so I'm selling this (my band are going to not let me forget this due to my gushing about this bass - but I can only have on P at a time -i'll read this back in a year and realise i'm an idiot but GAS is real) it deserves to be gigged and recorded. It weighs about 8lbs and is pretty light - the pickups are superb - super P sound - the frets are about 80% still great. I've put on a black scratchplate but comes with original red tort one. No gig bag As you'll see for them pics that it has aged beautifully - you'll also notice dings - scratches where there used to be an ugly sticker - it was imported from Japan (duh the CIJ bit obv but stickers were awful) but on the front there's what i think is a pretty cool sticker and considering i play alt-country and the colours go with the cream scheme. Some people will be put off by this, whereas if you're like me it just adds to it and makes it unique and be hard to nick and sell on. Price reflects this as i'm taking a bit of a hit on it after luthier work, pot, knobs plate and flats cost. I have a fender box i can ship anywhere to uk inc in price - though happy to knock off £25 for collection or within 30 mile meet up

Epiphone Rivoli 1998 reissue + hard case £580 - *SOLD*

Selling this lovely sunburst arch top Rivoli 98 reissue in great condition from Peerless factory- set up with low tension la Bella flats (my new fave string topping TI flats) the tone is superb and I’m only selling has the neck feels too narrow for my meaty big paws - it’s a pity but I prefer a wider neck. It’s 38mm at nut and about 8lbs in weight The baritone switch has been taken off the circuit. One thing to note the jack needs a locking washer - it loosens occasionally but only a tad - there if you stand in front of amp there’s a hum like 60hz but if you angle away then quiet. Might find if locking washer might get better connection - it’s not a major issue but I believe in stating everything in the ad Comes with hard case and scratch plate which I’ll reinstall Priced to sell £600 firm price - £20 delivery to uk or pick up/ meet up Clitheroe or North UK - an hours drive from Clitheroe acceptable Thanks for looking any questions let me know.

I have no accurate way of recording it, i could try iphone but it wont do it justice - but it doesn't sound like a PBass has much more smooth deep end, scooped mids and still lot of high end- obviously the tapes are going to give that but more of an upright sound, hard to describe, the KA pickup is great - the neck is really nice to play too

If I let it go I’ll give you first dibs sir - the KA pup has bit more output now and smooth deep vibes which is perfect for me. -

Here it is with Kent Armstrong pup in parallel (with option to add switch for series/parallel), ive shielded everything and added labella tapes 50-105s - it plays itself. So smooth and as I play really light the action is super low. Can’t wait to get it in rehearsals -
Hofner violin bass that has been relic’d with that horrible high gloss taken back, finished with light nitro. Comes with fitted hard case and beatle bass flats - super low action and huge thumpy goodness bought for a project that didn’t happen. Gassing for another semi chickenbacker as don’t have have £s for a 4005 Weight as you can imagine is very light. Neck is a good chunk in the hand. Very punchy. Preferred tone for me is solo on, bass on treble off - a Mecca to Macca £20 to ship to UK

I had a Bruce Thomas bass - if my 63 reissue hadnt popped up i'd still have it - awesome basses - what a neck on that one - got tapes on my acoustic and think the low tension will suit this neck on the Rushbo Fedner -

yes the oiled finish is nice that's what caught my eye first- that and that pup in a P is which i pulled the trigger that and it was a super price sir - think it'll be a bit of a project too - there's a couple fo things i might swap possibly - hope you don't mind i might remove the neck decal but i like the Rushbo Custom Shop one - nice touch - gonna get some tapewounds for this -
