cocco Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) So I have two P-basses ATM and every time I go anywhere near them I end up picking up my T-40. With that in mind I don't see the point in keeping two. This one is a 50s classic in black, modified with a black scratch plate, chrome pickup and bridge covers and a Duncan SPB-3. It has two small dings, one in the forearm contour (you can't feel it when playing) and one on the lower part of the neck pocket (again un-noticeable). It has that big ole 50s baseball bat neck, sustain for weeks and a nice action. For trades I'd consider pretty much anything apart from other fenders, 80s ibanez/japtastics, maybe a corvette $$, a Jazz with a P neck. Anything with two P pickups, maybe an early BC Rich NJ. Probably no 5 or 6 strings though. More pics later. Straight sale price £470 [IMG]http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/h373/ashrome/468e5bb7.jpg[/IMG] Edited August 28, 2012 by cocco
andy67 Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 My favourite pbass ever! I had one with some of the same mods: black scratchplate and I put in an American standard bridge. Stunning basses and must be played to realise just how good they are. Good luck with the sale. andy
cocco Posted July 23, 2012 Author Posted July 23, 2012 Thanks buddy . bump for Warwick trades. Especially a $$.
Delberthot Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 I don't normally like black Precisions for some reason but that's lovely
binky_bass Posted July 24, 2012 Posted July 24, 2012 Was just thinking the same as above... Makes me miss my Ibanez 1979 roadster. I really font like P-basses, but I was almost checking my wallet with this one! R
Who's Who Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 This bass used to be mine and it's a real stunner. the black pickguard, chrome covers and thumbrest are all genuine fender parts and i had a pro set up done not long before i traded it with Ash.
Cosmo Valdemar Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 If I had seen this last week I would have had it! Favourite neck ever!!! Good luck with the sale, this shouldn't be here long.
bass445 Posted July 30, 2012 Posted July 30, 2012 Would you swap for a Warwick Steamer standard 4 string 2001?
cocco Posted July 30, 2012 Author Posted July 30, 2012 [quote name='bass445' timestamp='1343640057' post='1752879'] Would you swap for a Warwick Steamer standard 4 string 2001? [/quote] if you send me some details I'll give you an answer
sixdegrees Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 Since I bought one of these it may as well be the only bass I own. I put a Hipshot D tuner on it so I never have to put it down during gigs and suffer playing anything else! If I ever lost it I'd get another without blinking. The neck and frets are the best thing about them. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Evil Undead Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Words cannot express just how much I want this bass. Alas, I haven't got the money
cocco Posted August 20, 2012 Author Posted August 20, 2012 I'd like to add Spectors to the trade options. bump!
debwilliams Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 [quote name='cocco' timestamp='1345795267' post='1781547'] Lost my job bump. [/quote] Gutted for you ... come on guys. Buy this handsome bass!
tom1946 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Oh man that looks stunning! Very well presented too mate. What's the neck width please?
cocco Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 44.45 at the nut according to the fender site. Radius is 18.41.
mark_ir Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 would you be interested in a lovely old Status Energy like this one http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/230/dsc00077kd2.jpg/ JJ config, cooooool D shape graphite neck, punchy as hell, cuts through any mix, and more than a match for a Warwick IMHO... can send more pics and info if so
