gareth1982 Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 (edited) *Feeler* - I love this bass and feel totally at home with it, but I have too many instruments and a nagging other half. She's right, the herd needs to be culled! 1995 American Standard P-bass. Totally original. A few little marks here and there on the edges, but it is 15 years old; really hard to photograph, the marks, but there's nothing of any real detriment. It is a very clean bass, as in no grime/gunk build up on the fingerboard or anywhere else for that matter. It has little to no fretwear, plays an absolute dream with a nice low action. Strung through body. Sounds deep fat and punchy, and for a passive bass puts out a very healthy output. Gigbag with it too, but no hard case. Strung with rotosound swing bass if I remember correctly. They've been on for a while and have been boiled a couple of times, but they still have some twang if you like that thing. I personally don't! All in all, a lovely sounding and playing USA P-bass. Price-wise I'd be looking for £620 Cheers Edited April 19, 2011 by gareth1982
Tinman Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 I'd totally love this. It's just a shame that you don't want a pristine US Oly white jazz in trade. Ah well, have a free bump on me.

Tinman Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) It's a 06/07 FSR with Badass 2 and hotrod pickups. the only pic I've taken so far is on the following thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=50744&st=0&p=503988&#entry503988"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...mp;#entry503988[/url] Edit: there's another one in this thread, post #62 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=68066&st=60"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=68066&st=60[/url] Edited April 19, 2011 by Tinman
gareth1982 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Oooh, it's nice. If it was strung through body I might have been interested, but I'm afraid I'll have to pass. Cheers anyway though!
Tinman Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 no worries mate....I'll keep looking. (looks down the back of the sofa for anything resembling money)
gareth1982 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Haha! I know times are hard, but the only thing I find down the back of my settee are dog hairs and the odd chip! I did once find the remote control for the dvd player after it had been missing for 12 months AND we had moved house. Weird. Cheers

I bought a black 96 model in 96 that come as standard with a white scatchplate and it had access to truss rod! just wondered thats all regards Chris
gareth1982 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Hmmmm, well I thought it was original, but I suppose it could be one that's been bought afterwards and fitted. It was like that when I got it so honestly I don't know for sure. Certainly looks well though! Maybe the guy who had it before me swapped so it 'looked cool' or whatever. He said he's had it since new, and I had no reason not to believe him. Cheers
EddyGlee Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 In all fairness mate it could have been bought in 96 .. but i reckon this was made in 95 which the N5 serial no. suggests! I also know that all US standard P/J's made in 96 had a little oval gold sticker on back of headstock which commemorated 50 years of Fender 1946-1996 .. tho that could have easily been removed. anyway .. It looks really nice, wish i had the money cos i really miss mine it's well worth what your asking, and your local too .. bugger kind regards Chris
gareth1982 Posted April 19, 2011 Author Posted April 19, 2011 Genius! I'll amnd the listing to 1995 not 96! Thanks a lot
gareth1982 Posted April 25, 2011 Author Posted April 25, 2011 back to work tomorrow after weekend away bump!
