Mzungu71 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) 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 Edited November 16, 2010 by Mzungu71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnozzalee Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Insane basses, top notch. Tom Hamilton from Aerosmith played the most amazing bass solo on one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mzungu71 Posted November 1, 2010 Author Share Posted November 1, 2010 Well boys and girls, if I don't get a nibble soon it might well have to go on the dreaded 'bay of doom.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
