Pete1967 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Hi All, I'm selling my Bitsa PBass. The original thinking was to create a budget bass for a friends daughter to learn on, but that fell through so I've decided to sell on. The body is solid wood and almost certainly Paulownia, but I can't be sure. It is quite light though. The neck is JAZZ dimensions and Korean made from Canadian maple with a rosewood board and pearl block inlays. The hardware is generic, but I intentionally steered away from the cheapest end of the market, so the bridge is a decent weight high mass style and the tuners are tight and accurate. Pickups are Wilkinson WPB Alnico V so far from the worst on the market. The pots are Alpha and I can put either 250k or 500k in if you wish. The pearl pickguard is custom made because I discovered that a standard one doesn't fit! Currently strung with nickel EB Super Slinkies String height is 2mm at the 12th and the frets have had a full level, recrown and polish. There's the requisite business card amount of relief in the neck and not a buzz to be heard, and the action will go lower if desired. It's really easy to play and would suit a beginner/learner or even great as a cheap doodling bass for an experienced player that prefers a slimmer neck. Considering it's a bass put together from Far Eastern components it really aint bad, but of course a boutique P made from rare woods it is not, however if you buy it I'll offer a full refund (including the outbound shipping) if you're not happy with it as long as it's returned to me. It owes me about £180 all in (the neck was £70 and the PUP £24) but it is what it is, so asking £120. No case but price includes shipping to the UK mainland (bar perhaps the extremities of Scotland).

kodiakblair Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Pete that's a great deal you're offering and the refund part just proves you're a top man. If I hear of any wee lassies up here needing a bass they'll be getting sent your way. GLWS bud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oopsdabassist Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Can't imagine 'Shell being into pink somehow, but I'll sure she will be along soon to put me straight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
