lowregisterhead Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif][size=4]For sale is a brand spanking new USA Standard Precision 5 that I bought and imported from the States myself just a few weeks ago. This particular bass is a bit unusual in as much as I bought the body and neck seperately, then they were put together here - you can't actually buy one of the new olympic white P5s with a maple neck, as far as I'm aware! It sounds fantastic, plays wonderfully, and is light (4kg) but very well balanced. I'm selling it with a Thomann hard case (not the Hiscox shown in the pics - sorry, I need to keep that one!) Why am I selling? Well, you'd think I should know by now, but I'm really a jazz bass man at heart. I also have a requirement for a compact 5 string for an upcoming tour, so something has to go to pay for it, unfortunately! The eagle-eyed amongst you may have spotted it has stacked knobs, but that's because it currently has a John East P-Retro fitted, which I'm planning to keep for another project, but I could be persuaded to leave it in. Sorry, but no trade offers please - I need the cash for the replacement!

silverfoxnik Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Lovely looking bass! It's really good to see more of these P Bass style 5 string basses coming up for sale - there are so many Jazz style 5ers around it makes a nice change.. Good luck with the sale!

dave_bass5 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I had one of these when they first came out, but with the RW board. This is the best looking one ive ever seen, and am soooo tempted to sell one on my kids for this as i really miss my old one, but alas, their mum wont let me. Damn.

ambient Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'd love a 5 string P bass, I was only saying to someone at college the other day that they don't come up for sale too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I'd have to sell a bass (I'm a music student), and I don't want to do that. I love the ones I've got and have uses for each of them. A 5 string P bass makes so much sense though, and this is a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It's great Chris - it feels like it belongs with the rest of the strings, and not like it was added as an afterthought, if you know what I mean. Clear, crisp, very resonant. I'm sure you'd like it! Edited January 20, 2013 by lowregisterhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
