tom1946 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Well it's that time again. I think I have what I want and then I haven't This is my best P bass It has SD-SPB-2 pickups which are awesome, and has a KiOgon loom specially fitted with a silent kill switch and easy change connectors. Pearl pickguard, with a slighty yellow tint. Weight is: 8.8 lbs sounds superb and in mint condition and fitted with chrome covers. The price is delivered to mainland UK EDIT*** I took the bridge cover off to clean everywhere and discovered a small crease caused by the rough edge of the cover. I'm mortified as I take so much care of my stuff so here is a pic of it. It can't be seen when the cover is on but it's there. I have reduced the price to reflect this and I'm now asking a very reasonable £430 delivered.

Bass_Guardian Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 You always know how to take a great photo Tom. GLWTS
Marc S Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) So you think you know what you want..... then realise that you haven't? - Hmmm, yes, I know that feeling But these two great looking P basses are surely high up the list of "must haves", aren't they? Both are fab basses, in super condition - great colours too GLWTS anyhow - I already have too many basses... so I don't "need" another one..... or two.... or do I? lol EDIT: Just realised how good CA Red looks, with pearloid plate and maple board!

tom1946 Posted March 20, 2017 Author Posted March 20, 2017 Thanks Alex & Marc, Marc, you know only too well Temptation and boredom are a bad mix, these basses are all you'd ever want in any P bass, so what's wrong with me,? I'll tell you what's wrong, I'm retired but still playing and I've fallen under the influence of one 'Karlfer'
Marc S Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 [quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1490020383' post='3261485'] .....I'll tell you what's wrong, I'm retired but still playing and I've fallen under the influence of one 'Karlfer' [/quote] Oh, there really is no hope then, is there? lol
karlfer Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 A karlfer who has been studiously ignoring that LPB since seeing it around noon
anzoid Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 I have the matching Jazz in LPB and did the same swap for a nice pearloid scratchplate. So, so tempting to complete the set... must resist... and GLWTS.
karlfer Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Bugger, I was hoping a sale on my Fender Japan JB75 RI P/J but it's fallen through 10 minutes ago. So at this moment Tom, can't get your LPB
howdenspur Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Have to do that "must resist" thing every time I see one of your ads Tom.
basskit_case Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 They look great, got to love a maple fretboard. What are the necks like on these?
tom1946 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Posted March 21, 2017 Fairly slim on these post 2012 models Mike, very easy to play even with my small hands.
Tandro Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Totally superficial, but if I could, I would love to have the pair just to hang them up on a wall and look pretty. Of course I'd play them (!), but I ain't gonna lie pretty basses just make me happy.
Byo Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 So tempting... must resist, must resist! "These are not the basses you are looking for..." Lovely P-combo you got there Tom, GLWTS!
pbasspecial Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Really loving the LPB bass but as I like Karl, I'll let him have a good crack at it first.
karlfer Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Very kind Paul, sadly I'm out as I've withdrawn the bass I had up for sale. Surprised either of them are still here
pbasspecial Posted March 24, 2017 Posted March 24, 2017 Sorry to hear that Karl. Thought they would have been snapped up by now too.
