The renowned US pick-up genius Curtis Novak makes this H22 Gold Foil pickup. It is specified as a neck pickup and can be used both for guitar and bass. It is in excellent condition with the original box. Not sold through a UK dealer so this was imported from the US and that added to the cost a significant amount. https://www.curtisnovak.com/shop/h22-goldfoil/

Over the course of nearly 30 years I've owned a huge variety and number of basses. Well over 100 (I had 27 at one time - ADHD and obsessive pastimes may be an issue here ). For me, there is something about a good P bass that sounds uniquely kind of visceral. They connect to my sense of bassiness. There are many instrument manufacturers who put a better effort into the details of construction in my opinion. Fender do the basics (no pun intended) well enough. Sandberg are better but there are many others. Fender are expensive for what you get methinks but they hold their value well. Stupidly so sometimes. I can remember back when many 70's Fenders were considered inferior and essentially worthless. They were avoided. Now they sell for a ridiculous amount just because they've got old. I've presently got a mere 5 basses. Well 4.5 actually, with one presently up for sale. My Zoot Funkmeister 32" scale pair are superb.They aren't going anywhere. I have a P equivalent that was custom built for me by Mike and a J likewise that I bought 2nd hand from Mark its original owner who was awaiting another Zoot to be finished. Both are active with a passive bypass and both are very strong in terms of tone, build quality, playability and appearance. Then I have my recently completed Warmoth build above. I originally had a chambered body with a bubinga top with this, as it turned out, very heavy neck. It didn't balance well (hardly a surprise). I ordered a Warmoth swamp ash solid body to complement the neck and it's now met all my expectations. The fretwork is really good allowing a setup with a low action and tremendous neck stability. I've a quarter sawn maple neck in process to pair to the original body. It'll need to be finished. An East P-Retro V2 will give added options. Which leaves the Sire D5 that's presently in the for sale section. It plays and balances very well courtesy of the Hipshot Ultralites. I'm going to bring it along to the next band rehearsal and see how it sounds alongside the Warmoth. I may then pull it from sale. It doesn't sound like a P bass exactly. No bass with a Curtis Novak Gold Foil pickup could It's something else entirely and that's no bad thing. Peter

I bought a new Player 2 recently. I played at least half a dozen before deciding on the one. Fenders are expensive for what you’re actually getting. I couldn’t afford a US P bass. In terms of neck stability relative to many other basses I find Fenders a bit all over the place with temperature and humidity. I built a Warmoth P many, many years ago. It ended up with a Dark Star pickup in it. Then I spotted a reduced purpleheart and ebony neck on the Warmoth site, it even has block luminary markers. It’s now a P with a 41mm nut, 20 frets, graphite rods, swamp ash body, Gotoh 201 bridge, Vintage 63 pickup and Obsidian wiring. So much better than any Fender imo and I got the fun of finishing myself. Excuse the grotty photo. It’s not light at 10lb but I have another underway with a chambered body.

It’s a great bass tastefully modified.

Being as I tend not to come onto BC socially any more (too much other stuff going on) I nearly missed this. I’ll be there. Hope to have my Zoot medium scale J and P and a pair of Warmoth P basses. Thank you for getting this up and running again and I’ll put the word out where I can. Peter -
Paul drove across country and gave my Precision a check over. Lovely chap, very straightforward sale. Peter
