As per title, two tone burst, this is the '57RI with raised A pole, nitro, 1.75 inch nut, C shape neck. V serial no, made in 2012.
DAFT light at just on 8lbs.
Good condition but it's nitro so two nasty little chips and a couple of tiny can't photo chips and a little bit of "certain light" scuffing on the back.

The last one to sell on here was an immaculate re-fin at £1000, hence my price.
£1000 collected.
Meet up, no charge between Carlisle/Leeds/ just North of Brum.
Extra £45 UK insured courier.

Apologies for the photos, was trying to beat the next bit of monsoon.

These are now discontinued, the replacement '58RI sells at around £1550.
The original GG case is in the loft, enshrined in a blanket, it will be included.
I'm going to put a link on with some owner reviews, plus one of the very few You Tube reviews I can find. These seem to be very well thought of by owners.

Will still consider trade but sale now preferred. This is the last of my wide necks (except the Rick), so would ideally like;

64 American Vintage Jazz RI (Sonic Blue FSR would be ace :D )
75 American Vintage Jazz RI

Any trial in Wigan, your rig or mine. Feedback linked at bottom of post.
Thanks for looking,
cheers,
Karl.

Back up for sale.
This was withdrawn for a week and a half due to electical issues. Luthier has given it a clean bill of health, and me a serious attack of sarcasm.

I take two basses to each gig.
The spare is sat on a stand, with lead attached. So any issues, one jack plug out of amp input, another jack plug straight in.
Changing basses takes less than 10 seconds.

On the night in question, my P went horribly scratchy and died. I instantly changed basses.

EXCEPT IT WASN'T THE BLOODY P THAT DIED, it was the lead I was using on the P. :blush: :dash1:

Even the Mrs is smirking.
Anyway, back up for sale. As you were :)

Further PM's replied, many thanks folks.

It's probably the best sounding P I've ever had.
I'm not putting it up on FEEBay as I would have to put it out at pushing £1200 to cover their fees.
So, I guess I'm not in that much of a hurry to sell.

Thanks again,
Karl.

Hi Karl,
As you know I bought the re-fin......Many thanks for the history.

These are great instruments to play and well worth the money.

Best of luck with the sale.

Regards
Robbie
