ezbass Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) Well the time has come for me to actually put this up for sale rather than just talking about it in other threads. What we have here is a Fender Roadworn with the usual relicing that I have had an extra P p/up professionally fitted to it by The Bass Centre. The additional p/up is a Seymour Duncan SPB-1. In addition I have changed the pick guard for a black one and have had the p/ups wired to a 3 way switch. There is also a Hipshot D Tuner fitted (a correct reverse tuner suitably scuffed up a bit). I found that the nitro on the neck was very sticky, so this has been removed, sanded back and then Danish oiled to a smooth natural finish very akin to a MusicMan neck finish. The reason I'm selling this on is that due to the light weight of the bass I find it a little head heavy (YMMV) which aggravates a shoulder injury. I've made an alternative button placement position which alleviates my problem somewhat but doesn't cure it for me. Sound wise it obviously does the P thing, and does it brilliantly, but with the added p/up you can get a really nice open sound (great for slapping or pick playing) when both are on together, or a really aggresive honk when the bridge p/up is soloed. Think J bass on steroids and you won't go far wrong. Comes with a Fender gigbag. So to the photos..... I'm more than happy to have potential buyers come and have a try at Ezbass Towers. Price I want [b]£600[/b] and would prefer collection, although I will send by courier if you have a company you like to use. I have a suitable box for shipment (one I had a bass delivered in). For more details or extra photos PM me. Sadly I can't do soundclips. Edited March 14, 2011 by ezbass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willyf87 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I WANT this bass but I DON'T need it, plus I have no money, would you take an empty wallet (real leather) and a paper clip (mint condition) I have lying round on my desk?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-bass-sparkes Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Would you consider doing a straight up swap for a 51' re-issue Fender P bass? My post is also on this thread if you would like to see some pics? This bass is a little heavier than normal...and it's not head-heavy at all Thanks!
