Sold Pending: 1998 Fender USA P Bass in Lake Placid Blue, Rosewood £675

[Old Horse Murphy]

For sale is a recently acquired Fender American P Bass from 1998 in Lake Placid Blue. It's in overall very good condition but has been used, so shows dings and dongs here and there. I've done my best to photograph them.

The back of the neck had a number of chips in the lacquer, so I sanded it all down to the wood and then gave it a number of coats of Tru Oil. I must say, I've done quite a good job

It's also been strung with a set of Fender roundwounds, new set of D'Addario roundwounds (or can fit a set of Lakland Flats if preferred) and plays and sounds great. I've also fitted an aged 60's style Pickguard and tug bar which cost me in excess of £50 but will also include the original white pickguard too. There is no case but I can purchase a good quality gigbag if someone wants this posted.

Weight-wise it's near enough 9lbs, so a nice weight too.

The neck and frets are great and it has a lovely action.

This is a rare colour now and I think the Tortoise shell pickguard looks great on it

I'm looking for £675 and would post for cost. Alternatively it can be picked up from either Woking (weekends) or Bristol (weekdays). I'm only selling as I've managed to get hold of something I've been keeping my eye out for. No trades please

Many thanks for the offers, but unfortunately I'm not looking for trades on this one

I bet that neck feels brilliant. I did the same on a few of my basses before. That process speeds up the neck no end!
