bigmuff69 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Fender PBAC-100FL,made in japan in the early 1990s,and it was an order only item,stores didn't stock it it plays fantastic,and it's in excellent shape,strung with flats,I had this imported from japan myself,and payed the dreaded import VAT duty,comes with an aluminium flight case.Rarely seen on these shores,overseas shipping is not a problem,ask for a quote,domestic postage is going to be quite high,because the flight case weights a tonne!

Bassman Steve Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I have one of these and they're stunning. Yours (in sunburst) is way prettier than mine (natural). Also worth stating they weight almost nothing.
karlfer Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Also worth stating they have one of them thar piezzo transducer thingamies! Hence the three rotaries.
Romeo2 Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I have not seen one of those ever before, and w-o-w, stunning, love at first sight! Cannot buy it at the moment so GLWTS.
bigmuff69 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 Forgot about the piezo!!,it's a vol-tone-blend,you can get I piezo buffer designed for this bass from "cafe Walter",I've been told they sound really good,and pretty easy to fit,but personally I just like it the way it is,this bass is wasted on such a crappy bassist like me,it deserves better!!some members have been asking about trades,I'm only interested in fenders really,
karlfer Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I had the last version of this with the slightly strange Gibson-esque hockey stick headstock. A fantastic bass and I just missed out on one 4 months ago, courtesy of the M6 car park . Only thing that is a no no for me is it is fretless. The weight is nothing, the power they deliver is enormous . GLWTS, Karl.
bigmuff69 Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 Cheers mate,why on earth did I buy an un-lined fretless,I can just about play a normal bass,I've been playing the same baselines for the past 30 years'

bigmuff69 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 I thought this might be a tuffy to sell😕😕😕
karlfer Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) Ya know something? If my Warmoth goes I may just be having a trip from Wigwam to Manchester. Might have a chat about price/you keeping the excellent flight case, as I would look to getting it fretted so a few bob saved would help me. I'm kind that way In the meantime, good luck, cheers, Karl. Edited July 24, 2014 by karlfer
bigmuff69 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Wigan kabab!!!,meat pie on a muffin!!',my twin boys where born in Wigan,they're not true MANCS.
bigmuff69 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Got any of those mighty fine basses you wanna trade?
smaz Posted July 24, 2014 Posted July 24, 2014 These are spectacular basses - if I didn't have one already I'd be 'aving it! Stupidly light, but such a HUGE sound. Almost double bass like with the right settings. Karlfer, I'd been considering getting mine fretted too... But the bass is so beautiful, I can't do it!
bigmuff69 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 The thought had crossed my mind about having it fretted,but it's starting to grow on me,it's my first fretless,so it feels quite strange for me,but it's the sound I'm really hooked on,
bigmuff69 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Posted July 24, 2014 Saying that,I'd trade it in a heart beat for that 85 explorer on here,now that's a smart bit of wood!!
