A bit more weight than I'm used to I'm afraid. An unusual take on the P bass so I'm sure you'll have someone sniffing soon, good luck.

Sibob Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 Clarky beat me to it And with a link that works, so I'll delete mine lol Si
munkonthehill Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 nice one chaps. I am assuming the controls are volume, tone, bass boost and treble boost?

This is mine: Weighs a whisker over 8.5 lbs. Mine is passive, but it has two pickups as opposed to your one and I can't believe that your pre-amp weighs [i][b]that [/b][/i]much more than another pickup.

philfromstoke Posted June 1, 2011 Author Posted June 1, 2011 Ok just got back. Thanks fore the helpful comments Here we go: Weight wise, I think I'm a little OTT , now weighing in at 9Ilbs (cheap scales I'm afraid) Nut width - I'm struggling as not great eyesight but its looking like between 1.5 qne 1 5/8's, but it really feels slim (compared to my 63 precision) Price wise - yes its a bargain for a quick sale as I need the cash. New price is > 1400 and this bass is like new (if you can get one) Hope this all helps Now then . . . how to readvertise with the correct pino palladino description
