kevin_lindsay Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Well, I never thought I'd sell this one on, but circumstances have forced me to do so. Boo hoo. So, here's my beloved '56 P-Bass relic made for me by John Elliot at Bravewood Alder body with maple neck Seymour Duncan Antiquity pickup with added "earth wire" to ground the chrome pickup cover. The bass is strung with DR 45's and the intonation is great all across the board. The instrument really plays wonderfully and it's a wrench to let it go, but my girlfriends apartment needs some work done, so I'm offloading some guitars to pay for the upgrades. Price is £950 posted in the UK. John charges £1,499 plus postage for these. Here goes with some pics: Edited October 22, 2010 by kevin_lindsay

Clarky Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Thats lovely. Unfortunately I am all spent out, having just bought the Fender Pino and a 51 P reissue in 2TS (like yours but minty looking and CIJ) Edited October 22, 2010 by Clarky

I'll let you know when it arrives and leave some feedback

warwickhunt Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 [quote name='BassBod' post='997235' date='Oct 22 2010, 04:03 PM']It went so quick![/quote] All the more reason to sell me the PJ so that you've got cash in the bank just in case it comes up again!
