Bassman Sam Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 (edited) OK, this is hard for me but the TIM has come to move this beauty on. The RA has won and I have to give up playing and this bass needs to make someone happy. It is the Mutts. I had a Fender '75 original back in the day ( one of the good ones) and this is just as good. It was put together by our own CD_David and body was refinish by luthier Dave Wilson, the man's a god. After having asked Dave's permission, here's the link that persuaded me to trade my '83 Fullerton '75 RI P bass for it. [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/133661-gone-thanks/page__p__1213950__hl__cd_david__fromsearch__1#entry1213950"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1213950[/url] I hope that the link works. The first picture on the stand is how it looks now. Dave has told my that the body is from a '90's Japanese Fender Precision and the finish on it is the best I have ever seen, I kid ye not. It is still in the pristine condition that I got it in and I will throw in a Hiscox hardcase and a Zoom 607, that's what I used for home practice when the RA let me play. Pick up preferred from Winsford, Cheshire or will deliver if not too far, NW area. I work for a courier company so UK ONLY delivery can be be got at, I hope, a reasonable rate. I'm looking for £550 firm for this and no trades thanks as you will understand. Edited December 11, 2011 by Bassman Sam

gary mac Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Good luck with the sale. Sorry you are having to do it, what a git, thought I recalled that the RA had improved for you in recent times. Best wishes.
franzbassist Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Gutted for you, but I am sure someone will love this. A week earlier and I'd have had it buthave just picked up a 88 MIJ P bass instead.
cd_david Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Really sorry to hear about the RA too Sam, This is without doubt one of the best P basses I have heard, If I wasn't in the middle of restoring another one I would have this back in a shot. The paint is flawless, top quality hardware, plays lovely and Sam is a great bloke to deal with. Good luck with the sale mate

The improvement in the RA didn't last long and I am now having further complications with the meds I was on. Cheers Sam
