Scott S Posted February 18, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musashimonkey Posted March 17, 2015 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought that it was priced pretty competitively, even at £1200, but the market appears to be stagnant atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
