Bought this on eBay about two days before I bought WoT's Roscoe Beck. Usual surprisingly good Squier quality with the addition of the SD PUPs. I'd like to keep is as backup but I don't need it. eBay link here [url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191016106766?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649."]http://www.ebay.co.u...84.m1439.l2649.[/url] The pickguard is nicer than it looks by the way, and the neck is rather fast and smooth. Looks like the J-PUP rout has been slightly extended, apart from that, all is fine. For £200 posted in a new gig bag you can't go wrong, either as a gigging bass or a backup for that lovely vintage Fender that you worry about every time you play The Dog & Duck :)

EDIT I've just looked at the pics on eBay and it really does look a whole lot nicer in the flesh so I'll take some decent pics myself tomorrow. The RCHP sticker will come off by the way.

Ha ha, no Tom, just didn't explain very well, I bought it 2 weeks ago - I was the winner of the auction linked to above - and then decided to go for the RBIV the next day. Even I don't need three fretted basses so decided to just move this one on again. I was going to put a Badass II and a white pickguard on (that is not my style of pickguard at all!), in fact I'll include the pickguard in the sale also :)

BUMP for a very nicely priced and well spec'd P bass!

Goes without saying that Chris is always a pleasure to deal with and what's more, after this sale, he's almost certainly going to be on Mastermind this year with his specialist subject being 'Buying & selling P Basses on Basschat'! :D

So if he says it's a good 'un, it's definitely a good 'un..!

Nik, you're a real gent, many thanks. Looking forward to perhaps catching up in person once I'm back in the SE?

Mastermind rejected my application on the 'unfair advantage' rule BTW :D

I'm amazed this hasn't gone yet, especially with the Badass II thrown in!

I totally agree Nik. Gonna have to withdraw it as I'll be unable to post for a few weeks anyway, so it might end up being a keeper after all :)

Well I've just been playing this and it's really quite nice indeed. A few things worth mentioning. Firstly, despite a bit of cracking in the paint, the pocket is VERY TIGHT (see pics below) and the bass itself is very resonant. Second it sounds lovely, very punchy of the bridge PUP, nice and fat from the neck PUP, and some variation between the two with them both engaged. Third, it has a lovely slab rosewood board (is that usual for Squiers?), which both looks and feels great.

Finally, it looks damn fine :)

A few more close-ups showing the back of the neck, which appears to be alight oil finish and is very fast and smooth, and the fretwork, which is very very good. Also shown are the not especially professional but pretty much un-noticable extension to the J-PUP rout, and the rather traditional crack in the pickguard at the end of the control cavity. No good Precision should be without it!
