This is an amazing reliced RS Guitarworks P Bass, Lindy Fran Pickup, made from aged wood with an amazing tone.. I know relics split people down the middle but this one is good, the neck felt just as comfortable as a '64 precision i was playing in denmark street, it is also than nice in-between profile, the nice worn down feel really adds to the comfort, the edges of the fingerboard are rolled to add to that worn in feel. The electronics are RS designed to give a wider spectrum of tones than the average p bass, it is also push / pull Series / paralell. The tuners are hipshot ultralights and the bridge is a Badass II (both also reliced beautifully) With flatwounds this is the ultimate funk machine! The bass is also light and well balanced and extremely comfortable, the only reason i am selling it is that i have fallen in love with the lakland decade and i really need the money!! I have used this bass live and in recordings where the "expanded" p tone really shines through, i also ended up using it in a theatre job over a vintage 70's fender because it simply sounded better! There is a load of info and pics of this exact bass at the RS Guitarworks website.. Hopefully this link will work...

Having attached the 75 p neck in this thread to the body of the bass shown below, the sale is now for the 1971 Jazz neck with blocks and binding and the gold 1977 Fender Precision Body with wizard pickups (pics further down this page, will sell together or separately, they look great together.. heres the original add..... This is a unique bass, i bought it about 6 years ago as a fretless and had it refretted and the darkstar pickup installed. The bass was assembled in this form and refinished in the late '70s, the body is a great light 60's body refinished black and the neck is a very slim jazz profile with black blocks and binding. Its a little too slim for me front to back, im more into fat precision necks so i have never quite got on with it.. hardware is a gotoh 201 bridge and reissue tuners, the pickup is a Dark Star, it has a great high output and is sensitive to dynamics, plucking softly gives a warm fat tone and playing really hard can give a great slightly distorted tone.. Much praise has been given to these pickups, they really give that "p bass on steroids" sound with the tone full up, rolling off the tone fully can give a great almost hollowbody sound.. The Strings are roundwound but swapping to flatwounds gives a mighty vintage tone. Its one of those basses that everyone i know absolutely loves, i keep getting put off selling it by people telling me im an idiot to but i have to accept that its just not getting the use it deserves.. There are a few dings here and there, the two round things either side of the bridge are to cover where there was previously a midi pickup.. this is a really cool and truly unique bass assembled from great old wood and sounds amazing.. Price drop to 700
