Dood Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Here's an absolute beauty! I'm planning a new bass so this one (which to be honest is too similar) is up for rehoming. It's a really good example though it does have a few natural wear dings and scratches. Nothing to get too upset about - it's real wear and tear though, not a fakers delight. One long one across the front edge and a chip in the paint. Alder body Maple Neck Rosewood Fretboard Vintage Spiral bridge Tortoiseshell Pickguard Vintage Olympic off-White (YUMMY!) Vintage size frets Feels like rolled fretboard edges (way better than the Nate Mendel model for example) [b]UPGRADES[/b]: [b]Dunlop[/b] Dual type strap locking buttons Premium [b]Gotoh[/b] RESOLITE ultra-light Vintage reverse tuning keys ~ £90 online [b]HIPSHOT[/b] D-TUNER!!! ~ £75 online Fender neck plate Plays like a dream and sounds like a '62 should. I'll put new strings on too if I have a spare set. You could say this bass is VSP/FSR spec with extras [b]Comes with a hard case[/b] - you can collect or you can arrange shipping. Contact me for details. PM PM PM!! MINIMUM PRICE ALREADY - THERE WILL BE NO PRICE DROPS - I might have a think about trades though, but unlikely to be a bass. Edited September 19, 2016 by dood

Basszilla Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 This is stunning. If I had the readies they'd be heading your way. She looks mighty fine!
natjag Posted September 17, 2016 Posted September 17, 2016 (edited) Do you have the original non hip shot D tuner? What's the weight like? Any chance of more pictures, particularly (for me) back of head stock where the end of the neck joins. and just overall condition of neck (reverse). Does it have a case of any sort Edited September 17, 2016 by natjag

Does it have a case of any sort [/quote] See first post, yes a hard case is included. According to the bathroom scales here - and I hold no responsibility to it's accuracy, a snip under 4.1Kg, though in use, as the bass has premium Gotoh Resolite tuning keys, there's very little noticeable shoulder drag. It's a very well behaved bass. A non-D-tuner key can be swapped in to the place of the D-Tuner which matches the rest of the set. I will upload more pictures later. Back of the headstock and the rest of the neck is completely unmarked. No signs of distress or wear round there. Little fret wear, really, in superb condition. The body as I said in my first post shows signs of wear with some scratches and dings around the 'bum' area. There's also a bit of buckle rash that hasn't broken the paint work - but really, this is all reflected in the price of the bass which is frankly a give away.

The PB62, which also had smaller tuning keys and a standard bbt bridge was basswood for example.
