Feeler for my 74/78/80 P-Bass - Price Change £1300

£1000

Hi

I'm putting a feeler out for my 1974/78/80 P-Bass. I've had a re-think on the price and have lowered it accordingly.

The history is that the bass is made up of parts that I've had left over from bitsa'ing various P-Basses over the years to get my perfect bass.

Here's the breakdown:

Body - 1978 - Refinned in Nitro by Guitar Angel Angela Arnott
Pups - 1980
Pots - 1974
Pickguard - 1980 WD Replacement
Knobs - Squier (although I really should replace these with flat-tops)
Neck - 1974
Tuners - 1978
Bridge - 1978

So, it's all original Fender except for the knobs and the guard and it looks the nuts IMHO. It also sounds killer. It does have a few knocks/dinks in the paintwork but that was part of the reason for getting the old thick skin poly off of it, so it would age nicely. The neck also has a few marks and some fret wear on the first 3 frets but nothing serious, just honest playwear.

The main reason I'm putting it out there is that it weights nearly 11lbs! I know that some people like the heavy ones but with a couple of other P-Basses at around 7-8lbs, this one takes me by surprise when I go to it.

So, it's a real mishmash but still has the feel and the mojo of a 30+ year old bass.

I'm happy to answer questions/post more pics etc.. Happy to post and throw in a gig bag or can be viewed in Rochester, Kent

It's my first time putting a feeler out on BC so be gentle!!

Hi

I've edited this listing to read £1000 but the listing doesn't seem to want to update.

I'll try again but please note - £1000
