Janvier Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Selling my virtually new Fender USA P Bass. I bought it fairly recently (early Christmas present to myself - couldn't trust Santa to get it right). Unfortunately, After just a couple of hours playing I'm finding the width of the neck too much for my small hands. So, straight back in it's case and sitting idle. I've changed the scratchplate for a vintage pearl and added two new control knobs, I've also put on new Elixir strings, which have had about 10 minutes play time! I will include the original white scratchplate and the two original knobs just in case you want to return the bass to standard. The bass comes with a deluxe Fender gig bag.

hamfist Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 [indent=1]That scratchplate makes a real difference to the look of the bass from standard, IMO. Really nice. May I ask where you got the scratchplate ?[/indent]
Janvier Posted January 11, 2013 Author Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Thanks Deanovw for adding the pics - don't know how you managed that. Hamfist - I sourced the plate and knobs from eBay. Regarding the price. Firstly, I see that GAK have the basic bass for £638 (typical, buy a bass and then see it cheaper elsewhere!!). Secondly, the scratch plate, knobs, Elite strings and the SKB hard case cost just over £165. So, I still think £715 is a fair price for the bass plus the extras. Edited January 11, 2013 by Janvier

A special special... Edited January 11, 2013 by Fuzzbass2000
Janvier Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 I've reduced my price for the P Bass. The upgrades: new scratch plate, control knobs and Elixir strings have really made this bass stand out. It is truly a lovely bass but not for me. I'm asking £625 plus postage.
hamfist Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I had an extensive try out of one of this model. It was an absolutely cracking P !!!
