Pestie Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) For sale is a [b]2004 USA Deluxe 4 string P bass.[/b] The bass has a [b]silver body[/b] and rosewood fingerboard. The pick guard is a [b]blue silver pearl.[/b] The bass is in really good condition but has been played and not kept in a hard case. It has a few minor scratches and dings to the body, not very noticeable but need to be mentioned. The neck is in good order, it had a full set up early last year including a fret dress. The standard Fender EQ has been replaced with a top quality [b]John East[/b] P retro Deluxe 3 band unit and the standard Fender pickups have been replaced with [b]Wizard Combo[/b] pickups. The bass comes with its original hard shell case. I am happy to courier this at the buyers expense. I would like [b]£650 ONO Please.[/b] Edited March 16, 2013 by Pestie
karlfer Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) Looking forward to seeing this one Try putting your photos on photobucket. Once they are on, double click on a photo. You then have 4 options of copying on the bottom right hand side of the page. Click on the bottom one and it will say something like link copied. Go back to you ad and paste the photo. I was shown how to do this by hutton and the results are in my ad linked below, just below the big red writing, er below this post. Look good to me. I managed to figure it, I am sure you will to. Good luck, Karl Karl. Edited February 23, 2013 by karlfer
Pestie Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Thank you Karl To be honest I am really struggling with this. I have got it on Photobucket but I don't seem to be able to get it right. When I pasted it all of the IMG codes came onto my ad so I had to delete them all. I will try again. Thank you & kind regards Mike
Pestie Posted February 23, 2013 Author Posted February 23, 2013 Rock n roll Karl, we have done it. You've saved me!!!!!!!!! I was getting desperate. Thank you so much. Mike
karlfer Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Well done Mike, glad to help a little bit. That sir, is a cracking looking bass indeed. Didn't know they did this model in this colour. If my Lakkie goes in time, may well be back to this thread Doubt that P will be around too long. Good luck, Karl.
Pestie Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 Thank you Karl for your help and the cracking comments about my bass. Take it easy Mike
Pestie Posted February 24, 2013 Author Posted February 24, 2013 The first control towards the neck is: Top volume/bottom pick up selection. The second knob is: Top Treble/Bottom Bass The thirds knob is: Top High mids/Bottom Low mids The last control is: Pull/push Active/Passive. Pull out for active/push in for passive. Hope this is helpful. Mike
Pestie Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Hello mate I thought that by describing the controls it would be helpful. It is a 3 band. I am in a little village just outside of Chipping Norton. Post code: OX7 5SW. If you want to come and have a look and try it out just let me know. best wishes Mike
munkonthehill Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 A tad off topic. But is the other bass one of the modern classics?? If so can I ask how you find it??
Pestie Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Hello Yes, it is one of the Modern Player series, made in China but you wouldn't know it. It is awesome!!!!!!!!!! I bought it from Lou Short off BassChat. Awesome bass from an awesome Basschatter. best Mike
StuartB Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 So does that mean Fender actually construct their 'USA' series basses in china? Or am I missing something...

Edited February 25, 2013 by karlfer
Pestie Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 I think you have missed the essence of the message from munkonthehill. He was asking about the other bass in the photo, the Telecaster Modern Series which are made in China. USA are made in the USA.
StuartB Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Ah yes - I missed the crucial phrase 'But is the [u][b]other [/b][/u]bass one of the modern classics?' Sorry all... Groan.
Pestie Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Hello Karl I am getting confused now! I was responding to the post before yours so hopefully I haven't confused you. Unfortunately my pix have two basses in them. The silver USA and the Chinese Modern Player. The USA is for sale and the other is just looking gorgeous on my office wall. Cor blimey, me head hurts now!!!!!!!!! Take care, thanks again for all of your help. Mike

Pestie Posted February 25, 2013 Author Posted February 25, 2013 Thanks mate, I think I will try cleaning fluid with mine tomorrow, it may help!
Pestie Posted March 10, 2013 Author Posted March 10, 2013 Bumpety Bump. this lovely bass is back up for sale after me dithering for too long!!!!!!!!!!!!
