bigthumb Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 (edited) Yep, another one! I got this beaut off ebay before I bankrupted myself buying the '73. Its a 1991 Japanese '62 re-issue in very good condition, with a few little dinks as you would expect. It has a very powerful output, quite a lot stronger than my other basses so whether or not the pups have been upgraded in the past is open to question. As far as I can tell they look stock. Its a lovely bass but I cannot really afford to keep it. Im asking £375 which was quite a lot less than I paid. Drop me a PM if you want any more pics or have any questions.

Guest BassKS Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Hey Paul, Exactly like the P bass I bought off someone from japan off Ebay. I had trouble with my original pup as well as it was too quiet. I paid slightly more than this on t'bay and then modded it with EMGs PJs. I so would have bought this one as well and slap a Fralin on it. They sound awesome. Bump for an awesome bass.
Weird War Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 This is lovely - have a bump on me. "If I had some spare cash..."
lonestar Posted November 13, 2008 Posted November 13, 2008 somebody please buy this. I would if I could.
bigthumb Posted November 18, 2008 Author Posted November 18, 2008 Bump! £325 if collected from Telford. Should have stated that theres no hard case. Me Bad!

Brother Jones Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 I'm pretty sure the Jap P reissues are alder. I have a more recent example of a Jap '62 and it's an absolute peach - my Sadowskys and Zons aren't getting much of a look in at the moment.
