Many thanks to Pat for our amp trade deal. Great guy to deal with 👍

Funnily enough Bass Bros said this one came over from Belfast!

Sorry IanA I didn't know anyone else knew this one was coming into Bass Bros! I'm also still from Leicester sort of - still down there for work a lot although I moved from Oadby to Ilkley (near Leeds) last year.

Thanks for the detective work miles'tone it does look like several people have had the neck profile done on these RWs. For me it certainly makes it much more playable instrument than the typical P bass.

I did mate. Added enough trees to make up the cost of the part which is only fair as Dave sent it for nothing!

Could be miles'tone. It's an excellent job if that was what was done. If that BCer is around please drop me a PM I'd like to know the history of this bass.

Just a note to flag up great service from Dave Green at Ashdown. The pre-amp valve had clearly gone (horrific noise) in my ABM EVO IV and Dave has sent me a free replacement. I've installed that and the amp now sounds fantastic again.

I just picked up this bass from the excellent Bass Bros and am really pleased with it. It is just under 9lbs at 8lb 13oz which my back appreciates! An interesting feature is the neck which is 39mm - I've been searching for a P bass with a jazz neck and this fits the bill. Initially I thought it might be a bit chunky front to back but after a weekend playing it I find it very comfortable. It is actually slimmer than other precisions I've tried. Bass Bros are not sure if it came out of factory like this or if a luthier has done a job on it but either way it is ideal for me.
