Scott S Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I've had this only a few weeks... Picked up as part of a trade/cash deal with FuNkShUi (I hope that you're enjoying the P5, Kert!). To begin with, I actually found the uber-comfortable and ergonomically designed Thumb a bit "awkward", such was my being used to larger body dimensions, but I eventually adapted and grew into it making playing an absolute pleasure. The sound was, of course, spot on from day one! I hope that Chris doesn't mind me half-inching his work...(Kert's previous ad' info')...

Courier delivery isn't a problem (at the buyer's expense). Based on the Wirral. I will now consider trades for a US/Jap' Fender Precision or Jazz with cash my way. Cheers, peeps.

I LOVE the P5 btw [/quote] Yeah, Chris, the surgery has been on the cards for years; it's just that I've only recently plucked up the courage to go through with it...both knees (not at the same time), three ligaments detached, re-sited and reattached, with bone grafts thrown in for good measure...I can't wait Thanks for the kind words, bud, and I'm glad that you're enjoying the Precision V. Take it easy, Kert. Edited February 26, 2015 by Scott S
Scott S Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Throat's parched but it looks like I'm the brew bitch again-type bump
Scott S Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Cash sale, price drop-type bump...£1100! Edited March 29, 2015 by Scott S
Musashimonkey Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 A very nice bass indeed, I had a 2001 version, I paid a lot more for it than you're asking I might add. Fantastic sounding bass at a great price! GLWTS and the surgery!

Yeah, I thought that it was priced pretty competitively, even at £1200, but the market appears to be stagnant atm

spectoremg Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 Thanks to Cass Lewis I will always be a Thumb GAS slave and one day it'll happen, but not today. GLWYS.
Scott S Posted April 5, 2015 Author Posted April 5, 2015 [quote name='FuNkShUi' timestamp='1428238979' post='2739440'] That is ridiculously cheap for this bass!!!! [/quote] We both know that, Kert'; unfortunately.....
Scott S Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 (edited) Bump. Cash price remains at £1050... Trade price remains at £1200... I'm now willing to consider trades for USA/Jap' P's & J's. Edited April 10, 2015 by Scott S
