lowregisterhead Posted January 14, 2013 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!

lowregisterhead Posted January 14, 2013 Author Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) Thanks for copying the pics topo - I couldn't get them to upload - must have an old browser! Edited January 14, 2013 by lowregisterhead
topo morto Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 From comments on other threads, the uploader is dead - that was with the [IMG] tags. All merely an excuse for looking at basspr0n!
aLxbass Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 This is insane! I only wish i had the cash or gear to tempt you with a trade. Have a bump. Beautiful bass
silverfoxnik Posted January 15, 2013 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 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 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.

[/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.
lowregisterhead Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 And another... off to eBay soon if there are no takers...
lojo Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 If this where a 4, I might be coming to see you, but hey ho. Anyone interested, buy with confidence, Dave's a good guy to deal with and he knows his gear.
Chris Horton Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 What Is the B string like on this great looking bass?

[/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
