Well didn't think i'd be selling this but just fell in love with a CIJ P Bass and it's one in one out with me. I may regret it. This as others here will attest, a lovely bass based on the famous 64 Bruce Thomas was famous for, there has obviously been a lot of love and care gone into crafting this bass. One of the nicest necks i've played, custom designed to Bruce Thomas' high standards, it's a 40mm nut width and as it has a satin finish, it is a joy to play with rolled edges so no fret sprout. The orange body (salmon pink officially but looks orange to me) looks amazing and looks different in different lights but always wow. The pups are very hot, custom wound for Bruce and the response from hi to low is great. Has old school roller bridge saddles for custom string spacing, which is about 19mm on this bass. Freshly strung with brand new light gauge EB roundwounds for super ZING! No dead spots and intonation good - i've added the ashtray cover can remove if you prefer No dings or scratches that i know of, never gigged but seeing as bought last summer that's no surprise. Also comes with brand new Fender gig bag. If this had a Fender logo on it it would be over 1k easy Can post for £20 to UK only im afraid as Brexit has messed up buying/selling abroad big time (took 45 days to return an amp to Germany this year) but if the bass doesn’t sell - I’ll take that as a sign that I need 2 p basses Plus a signed copy of BT’s Rough Notes book - a must read for bassists

i might get the NY121 extension but went MB for potability or the Fender 500 but to be honest - we only tend to play 300 capacity places - GASing on a MIJ P bass which may be the answer haha -

At low volume it is superb - what I’ve settled on is low gain more volume, bass on 11pm lo mid 10pm, hi mid 12pm, high 1pm - vpf off and vle 9pm which sits good in the mix but don’t like it in its own - without vle it’s clanky and with it adds mud but rounds out the mids. With the fender I just set it flat and more gain that volume and was great - but not tried BT Pbass loud through Fender -

Rehearsed twice with it now and it’s bit muddy but also Bruce Thomas p bass with TI flats is new. At moment not overly impressed - sounds good in mix but on its own lacks clarity- will work on eqing- anyone else get this? My Fender Rumble 200 has more punch -

Selling my Danelectro 63 short scale- very 60s woody sound akin to a semi acoustic due to material used in construction. Twangy thumpy finger tone but kerplunky with plec set up with flats- crazy low action super fast to play - little scratched in pics bout over 16 years old Prefer collection only or can deliver within 50 miles of Clitheroe - or can post at buyer's liability Here it is in action played with plec through Fender Rumble 200 Head and 210 cab https://americana-uk.com/the-twang-factor-presents-west-on-colfax#more-52505

Here’s a not very helpful video - you need to turn up the volume and where I unplugged the jack - that was it started to feedback from Bass IMG_1967.MOV -

I think you’re right. The gain really increases the hiss but once you get the master volume past 75% it goes - I’ve read about the tweeter needing playing in - in live band situation it shouldn’t be a problem -

Fan noise is a bit annoying but will be ok with a band. Great at low volume - good round bass - hoping at volume in the mix it’ll be similar - turned it up half way and it’s loud! It’s highlighted my bass has a bit of an earth issue -
