patpatel Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) Greco Electric Bass 'walnut brown' with maple fretboard. 1977 serial, all original except knobs, pickup/bridge covers and thumb rest. ok condition for a bass this age, some nicks in the lacquer (see photos) relatively flat and smooth neck for a p-bass. 4,2 kg. neck width at nut 41mm frets are ok, but please note - the truss rod is operable but is maxed-out clockwise, which means it's not possible to get the strings any lower than they are now without buzzing on the higher frets. string action now is (from top of fret to bottom of string): E - 3mm, G - 2,5mm. This never bothered me (I play with mid to high action), but just wanted to mention that this is not a bass for players who like very low action This is reflected in a lower price £260 more photos here: [url="http://s760.photobucket.com/user/paddypatel/library/Greco%20P%20white?sort=2&page=1"]http://s760.photobucket.com/user/paddypatel/library/Greco%20P%20brown?sort=2&page=1[/url] [attachment=176758:IMG_7945 small.jpg][attachment=176759:IMG_7960.jpg][attachment=176760:IMG_7948 small.jpg][attachment=176761:IMG_7975 small.jpg] insured shipping no problem Edited December 4, 2014 by patpatel
AgentCooper Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Can you measure the neck relief. Hold down string at fret 1 & 20 and then should be smidge of daylight (0.3-0.5mm ?) between string and Fret at mid fingerboard position. Any shim in neck pocket ? Cheers, David
silverfoxnik Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 Good question; i was thinking the same thing about whether there's a shim already in the neck.. If there isn't, then it could solve the neck relief/lower action issues quite nicely. Cool looking bass by the way and GLWTS!
patpatel Posted December 3, 2014 Author Posted December 3, 2014 @AgentCooper and siverfoxnik yes, there's already a shim in the neck pocket, neck relief is about 0.5mm at eight fret. the bass was actually set up by a guitar tech to get best possible action under the circumstances. he also filed down the nut a little bit. cheers, Pat
