**SOLD** HB PB-50 (custom 51 Fender look-a-like) £170

PRICE DROP TO £SOLD

I have to sell a couple of my basses due to the Mrs getting the hump with my new one arriving. Here is my relic 51 P-Bass copy which is based on a Harley Benton.

The neck has the headstock reshaped & wood stain aged to look like a fender and a waterslide applied. The machine heads and neck plate are from a mexican P Bass. It has an added ashtray over the bridge. The bridge is a Babicz full contact.

Between frets 8/9 on the D & G string there is some fret buzz (a dressing would sort this but it's beyond my skills) but apart from that a lovely low action, nice neck and has a fine set of Fender flatwounds on which are practically new.

I'd prefer pickup from the Dartford (kent) area but if you want to arrange a courier then I can wrap this up for you. NO CASE INCLUDED.

I'm quite interested just wondering what the pickup on it is and what is causing the fret buzz you mentioned?

Hi,

It's a Wilkinson MWBP Alnico vintage PB-style single coil pickup, really nice sounding!

The fret buzz is caused by a high fret on the 7th or 8th fret. It just needs a bit of filing or sandpapering down which is beyond my skill set but I'm sure a YouTube video would show you how to sort it if you are handy. The neck is perfect, a lovely feel to it and frets are absolutely fine and the action on this is nice and low.

Thanks

Jim
