    Fastest deal ever. Just sold Chris a P Retro - it was posted up here, bought, and posted out within 3-4 hours, I think. Easy communication throughout and Chris was a gent. You need have no worries when dealing with Chris!

    Ok, it's sold. Thanks everyone!
  6. funkle
    What’s the weight on this? I’m interested.
  7. funkle

    Good afternoon all Parts clear-out around here. I fitted my P-Bass with flats about a year back and took out the preamp I'd had in it for years. Never quite got around to selling it, lol, but now I'm making the time. Fully working John East P-Retro - an ingenious solution to the eternal problem of adding a pre to a P-Bass without routing out a battery cavity. Copy of install instructions at http://www.east-uk.com/pdf/pretro01.pdf if you need them. £195 new, you can have mine much cheaper for £100 posted in the UK. Pete

    Deal pending, though I won’t take it off the table yet until I receive payment.

    I think so too. I'd have kept it and swapped out the bridge for another to tweak the string spacing - I've heard of it being done on Talkbass - but I'm not sure I'm confident myself there's a lot of space on the neck left to do that....maybe someone could get it to 16.5mm, I don't know about much wider than that...but hey ho. Oh, and I responded to a PM.

    Hi all Bought this to try out a 5 stringer again, and found that this bass has string spacing that is just a bit too tight for me. So...up it goes. I got it from a fella who said it has been in the case for most of its life. I think that seems about right. The Super Ferrite pickups on this model get a lot of love, and I see why. It sounds a lot like a Jazz, but not quite. It's got is own cool sound going on. It's in very good condition and has a low setup currently. The truss rod tuns freely and easily. There is some slight pitting to the finish which I cannot capture well in photos but is evident when you inspect the bass closely. The hardware all works as it should, as do the electronics. Neck is straight, frets are good and permit an action of 1.6mm measured at the 12th fret on all strings. Comes with a very tidy case too. Specs: Made in the USA Weighs 9.4 lbs Nut width - 1.8" (45.72mm) String spacing - 16mm Alder body Maple neck with maple fretboard 21 frets, 12" radius Super Ferrite pickups, vol - vol - tone setup Link to the manual - https://peavey.com/manuals/Foundation5-1992.pdf All yours for the princely sum of £200 plus shipping in the UK. Show me where else you can get a USA bass for that kind of money! Lol. Great value. Pete

    What's the weight like on this?
  15. funkle
    I am interested. What’s the size of these?
  16. funkle
    Ah, you’re very kind. I’ll need to think on that - a touch heavy for me. But what a beauty!
  17. funkle
    What's the weight on the bass? If it's still available...
  18. funkle
    Ah, perfect. What a great weight. I can’t get on with 19mm spacing, but otherwise it sounds fab. Ah well. GLWTS
  19. funkle
    Interesting. May I ask the nut width, weight, and string spacing? Thanks very much. Pete
  20. funkle
    Woof. That’s a lot of bass for the money. GLWTS
  21. funkle
    My old bass. What a beauty. GLWTS.
  22. funkle
    Lovely bass! Have a free bump.

    What is the nut width and string spacing?

    @Al Krow The ‘sonic mesh’ issue was the lowest notes on the B string. Can sound like sonic bombs if not played gently. Fretted notes moving up the B string sounded ok to me. Apart from the normal increasing inharmonicity that affects notes on the B and E strings the higher up you go on them. Anyway, it’s my feelings about the lowest notes on B is not really an issue that seems to bother a lot of players. If you enjoy the 5, play the 5. Who cares what some guy on the internet says?

    It really makes no odds what anyone picks. 5 is as good as 4 if you like it. I did find a downside with a 5. I never really found the B to mesh well sonically with the other 4 strings, in spite of trying many high end basses and different strings. Yes, Dingwalls as well. The neck is definitely wider on a 5 than a 4 in virtually all cases and requires good clean technique to keep the B from ringing out sympathetic harmonics, or rumbling. I got used to this but never felt quite at home on a 5 as I did a 4, even after years of playing. Hey ho, you pay your money and takes your choices. I don’t really mind what anyone does as long as they’re happy.
