0353203 Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 (edited) Hi All, Up for sale is my 1965 Sunburst P Bass, L plate serial number. 100% original with original case. This one is more a player than a collector's piece and has a well worn in neck, a few dings and dongs, some tarnishing to the chrome and some wear to the body finish just above the neck pocket (see pic). She is still in great overall condition though and sounds fantastic - retaining a huge P bass growl. All the best, Si Edited April 24, 2011 by 353203
Stag Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Glorious. Where do you get this stuff from Si!!! lol
SpinalTap Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 Wow, what a bass. I'm usually not a sunburst fan, but this looks amazing. I'm seriously checking my savings, to see what is possible. Have a bump on me in the meantime!

lozbass Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 Absolutely lovely - looks like a nice, dark Brazillian board too (maybe a Fender expert could chime in - I think Fender had stocks of Brazillian into the later part of '65 and beyond). Fantastic price...and bump

Cheers, Si[/quote] Hi mate - no I didnt get hold of one. I did try a few really nice vintage Ricks and none of them really hit the sweet spot for me in regards to the neck... so I ended up buying a brand new 2011 4003 in Jetglo, which is one hell of a player. As luck would have it, there is now a lovely looking burgundy one on here for sale... fate? [size=1][i]Disclaimer : If I find the money ill buy it too, thinking about selling my Gibson...[/i][/size]

Lozz196 Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 As 65 is my Year Of Birth, I`d love this - and that colour scheme is also my fave. Just a great shame that I don`t have any money
cd_david Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) This is an absolute bargain for a beautiful bass from a great seller Still loving my 65 mate, managed to get a 65 Pup to complete it Good luck Dave Edited April 19, 2011 by cd_david
warwickhunt Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Wish I was 2 years younger then I could get in on this latest YOB craze! Actually... wish I was 20 years younger and I wouldn't be so wrecked!
PauBass Posted April 19, 2011 Posted April 19, 2011 Interested on a trade + cash your way? You can have the '75 P bass I bought from you back and some cash on top?

Pop back to the early seventies to get a few sixties guitars,store them in his not insubstantial loft and there you go.
