Back for sale at £3400

I travel about from time to time so depending on where you are, a meet halfway may be possible

So this is beautiful - I've never had this variety of p-bass/t-bass before and this sold me on it so much I ended up buying an original 68 version. So this is up for sale sadly as I don't need both and I need the space. In as-new (as in, how it left the factory) condition, with all case candy and ashtrays etc, and of course the certificate and original white limited edition hard case. 3.8kg in weight and sounds and plays superb. I don't think you'll find a better one in terms of looks, playability and sound. Only for sale this weekend as otherwise it's off to a shop with (almost) everything else I own next week.

Bought from here as a bit of a basket case (had been converted into a 'regular' P with P-scratchplate, P-pickup and had the string through holes filled in and a standard bridge installed). I sent it to Angela Arnott (guitar angel) who did (as usual) a stellar job on restoring it and refinishing it in nitro candy apple red. I've had this for a while and used it for recording but I need to make space so I'm basically selling it at a loss given what I spent on having it restored. The neck (including finish and decal), tuners, nut and neck plate are all original, everything else is repro. It's in good condition, with just a few minor natural relicing dings and one small scratch on the back. It weighs 4.6kg and comes with a basic aftermarket tweed case which is in good condition. Only for sale for this weekend as it's going to go to a shop with everything else next week.

No, sorry! It's 44mm. I must have copied that off the configuration incorrectly but just got the callipers out to check and it's 44.

There's a lot to be said for giving in 🙂

Sadly I didn't have anything suitable but if anyone is seriously interested in the bass and would like me to string it B-G then let me know what strings you'd like. I'm pretty sure with the right strings it'll work nicely.

I'm sure you've found these already but some good discussions here: https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/489577-does-a-low-b-really-work-on-sub-34”-scales/ And here https://www.talkbass.com/threads/low-b-on-30-scale.1514776/ Seems like type and gauge of string is a big factor. Happy to restring this with a buyer's choice of strings (within reason, no gold-plated stuff). I'll actually have a look in my string box today and see if I have a low B that would fit as an experiment.

Thanks! And yep, BassCulture pickup.

Hi, I've now added the pics to the post - I wasn't previously aware I could delete older attachments so don't need to use imgbb anymore! But you're right, it is messing about today.

42mm

Custom made for me a few years back, this is a superb neck through Les Paul version of a Bass 6, 30" scale, wenge neck and body, flame maple top under a nitro gold top. As it wears, that flame will reveal itself and it will look even more incredible. Seymour Duncan p90 stacked humbucker with coil tap on the volume control (pull up). Sounds immense - but it is heavy. 5kg...it used to be heavier if you can believe that! It went back to John for some additional weight relief (hence the different grained sections on the back, this is where the weight relief happened and then John made wooden covers to fill the weight relief pockets). Definitely more of a studio than stage instrument unless you have stronger shoulders than me. Some very minor marks but overall in very good condition. I love this thing but since getting an even more special bass 6 (EB2 converted to EB6...) I just don't use this enough and I need the space. Comes with old but high quality padded gig bag. Can be collected or can be posted at cost.

The flame maple is still underneath...🙂
