Hi There,

I'm looking to move on my Parker PB61 acquired in a trade on this very forum with Eubassix

I've attached some photos for your perusal

Very nice bass, bit of a rare bird and has striking looks.

I've had it restrung by a local luthier who has set it up nice and low and set the intonation too.

It's strung with a set of Ernie Ball Slinkys.

There's barely a mark on it, as new I'd say

I would like £480.00 (NOW £450.00) posted for the bass.

As for trades, what do you have?

I would be very interested in P basses and also MusicMan Subs

4 string only though

Cheers

Gary

What is the width of the nut? Is it like a Jazz type neck?

Also, what is the weight?

Hi Sunfish, thanks for your query.

The bass is 4cm or 1 and 5/8 inches in old money which is a couple is mm wider than my warwick corvette, but it's closer to a J than a P in feel

As for weight it is 9lbs

Hope this helps

[quote name='Spoombung' post='1011917' date='Nov 4 2010, 12:19 PM']Interesting bass. How does it play? What kind of finish does it have?[/quote]


The finish is kinda like varnished wood, fairly smooth to the touch but not gloss piant like.

Plays like a jazz pretty much, failry well balanced. I had the strap pin moved from the rear of the horn to the end to stop the strap twisting uncomfortably.

Low action, has a lot of punch owing to the active electronics, come and have a play if you're ever in the Lincoln area

Cheers

I'd like to. Got friends in Boston Lincs but no plans to visit before Christmas, unfortunately.
