ok i've had this for sale before & withdrew it as i didn't really need the money,but as i've just bought a new bike i'm needing a quick cash injection,so here's your chance to bag a beautiful P bass for a bloody cheap price. here she is in very good condition with just 3 minor dings,complete with its original case & metal bits,strung with La Bella medium flats & set up nice. this bass was quite popular at the Harrogate bass bash & is a real beaut'. i must be mad to sell it but just can't justify it sitting collecting dust in my house when i need some dosh. ok here's the mad bit PRICED TO SELL-THIS WEEK ONLY AT £600.00 CASH--------YES £600.00 COLLECTED FROM ME---NO POSTAGE & SORRY BUT NO TRADE OFFERS. p.s. if you can't be arsed to drive a little to collect this beast then you don't really deserve it

[quote name='niceguyhomer' post='429905' date='Mar 9 2009, 11:24 PM']Thanks a lot for the kind comments fellas. Just ordered a brushed gold pickguard for that P from WD - website says it'll be 1-2 weeks and the email confirmation I got says it'll be four weeks but could be longer. I could swim to the US and pick one up quicker. [/quote] hi Alan,i almost went for gold instead of the white pearl,it'll look cool i think. it's a cracking P bass isn't it ? the best MIM std i ever played.

[quote name='Old Horse Murphy' post='423031' date='Mar 2 2009, 01:41 PM']Jon Shuker put a passive switch on my Stingray. He replaced the treble knob with a push/pull knob that when pulled out, the bass was passive and also worked as a tone for the passive mode too. It sounded lovely. Not sure how he did it as electrics are pretty-much witchcraft to me.[/quote] lol it should be called electrickery i reckon. that may be an option though-cheers.

[quote name='robert43' post='422159' date='Mar 1 2009, 04:55 AM']Nice bass by the way & yes direct to out put jack for finding what your pups are likeby them self. To rewire its easy with 4 new pots & 2 caps some wire & solder . I recommend find a wiring dia off SD etc & have a go your self , its not that hard.[/quote] cheers i love this bass it's a real cracker. i don't think i'd dare do this myself i'll set my bass on fire

[quote name='gary mac' post='422158' date='Mar 1 2009, 04:44 AM']I've always meant to look into the possibility of installing a switching option to allow passive use on mine. What do you reckon, is it feasible?[/quote] i thought about that but without the preamp on i don't think you'd be able to adjust any tone settings or even the pickup pan control.

[quote name='The Bass Doc' post='421819' date='Feb 28 2009, 07:47 PM']I know this model fairly well and confirm the pickups will have a reasonably healthy output for passive performance. If you can carry out the work yourself - fine, but if you need any help and can make it to Newcastle I could do the necessary for a small fee[/quote] thanks Doc' much appreciated. there is a tech in Harrogate called Andy Eagle is he can't do it or doesn't want to do it i'll fire up the sat nav & give you a call. you're a gent.

thanks guys,i'll give it a go mrcrow--thanks for mentioning the jack i never thought of that. cheers

hi,i really like my American Deluxe P bass but i'm more of a passive kind of bloke so i wondered how difficult it would be to convert it into a fully passive bass. what i had in mind is to bin the preamp & wire the bass up with 1 x volume & 1 x tone for each pickup as there are already 4 pots on the bass. ala- would the stock pickups be ok (they are passive i believe) & would this be a fairly simple job to have done ? cheers guys.

i love my SVT3-PRO,it certainly doesn't lack for punch in fact it's the punchiest amp i've ever owned. i previously had a GK1001RB-11 & the SVT just blows it out of the water & gives me the best "old school" bass sound i've ever heard. the GK was plenty loud enough but just lacked the depth of sound that i like.
