oldslapper Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 (edited) Encore special edition LTD 83 P Bass, with some mods. It's a good solid, well made bass, a little heavier than a modern USA P. Got this as a last try at liking P basses. But alas, I like the idea and the look, but still not my cuppa. I've got a "ratted" hohner Jack that does P bass sound brilliantly. I've replaced the pups and harness with some from a Jap P and they've a much higher output with a lovely warm/punch contrast. I replaced the saddles with some spiral ones, replaced controls with chrome flat tops, and put a Fender neck plate on ( but will include the original special edition one). Also put a cheeky logo on, its an ok job.

Postage would be about £15. Trade for something Jazz bassy or similar with 2 pups and will add cash, and/or a brand new electro acoustic classical, if you fancy that too, (£200 value) [IMG]http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af124/basscoach/stuffs/IMAG1334.jpg[/IMG] Edited February 4, 2013 by oldslapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Plays very nicely, the day I bought it I took it to my luthier on the way home from the shop to fit the ball end d'adarrios and set it up for a low action. Since then its hung on my wall. Happy to take more pics in day light, or post sound clips. It's a Manuel Ferrino MFAC-Slim.
