Having some trouble with the trussrod hex rounding off so may part out if there's enough interest. Please PM with any offers.

Black, maple neck with B/W/B plate. Wilkinson pups and hardware. Weight 4.5kg.

Has a few faults - both knobs and tone pot are missing. Still works though. Wouldn't bother me as I don't use the tone knob anyway! I did intend to get Ki0gon to make me a loom though.

The nut, as on all of these, was too high for most people's liking. It's been filed down but still needs a bit more work or a new nut fitting.

Otherwise in nice condition. Will make a nice bass with a bit of work.

Trying to fund raise but as always can be tempted with a trade - shallow flight case 6-8u, ipad, powered monitor (mic stand mounted type). Try me...

I have no case but could ship to mainland UK with suitable packaging or with the neck off at buyers expense and risk. Arranging your own courier much preferred. Alternatively, collection and test at BB22SH (preferred).

Glad it's not the white one or I'd be on the M1 right now! This is a very serious bargain folks, these are great basses.

Thanks for the +1. Slightly naff, night time pics up!

Let me be the first to ask: "What's the weight?"

Ooooh, me poor back!

It may well have sold but a guesstimate would be 9lb. I'll, check later.

About 8.5lb. They sound great through a Rumble 500v3

I have a vintage white v4 and I can't believe how good it is, excellent fit and finish and mine has a really low action.
Good luck with the sale.

I used to have one and it was incredibly light. So much to so that I queried it with the supplier and started av thread about it here. Sold it on later. Ok for the money.

I'm extremely tempted myself. This is mine



The pickguard is off the Tony Butler model. I managed to order one from JHS through a friend in the trade.
It's the nicest playing P-bass I've owned

I'm a sucker for white P basses. Especially with maple boards. I think I'd keep that! Lovely thing :)

This is all good news but would really need to know how much this particular bass weighs. More than one person seems to have been definite about wanting it, though so I doubt if it's still available.
