This has been a hard decision and if the bass doesn't sell I can live with it. Since hanging up my gigging aspirations I've not touched a bass for about a couple of months. I have 4 of them sat doing nothing and I spend all my creative time with my little tenor Uke, absolutely loving it O.o

I bought this bass from the bass merchant for £1375 and it's only seen about an hour of home practice so it's effectively new. You could save a fortune! Saying that it's a 'soft aged' relic'd bass.

I haven't been a fan of relic'd basses at all and I have said as much in this forum. The bass is an aged and slightly scuffed and chipped fiesta red with lightly tarnished hardware. I absolutely love it! Don't ask me why. It just works, really well. The neck of course is perfect, unmarked and everything is perfect from a construction and playability point of view. It shouts Fender Custom Shop quality very loudly.

So it's a P bass with a Delano pickup and a Glockenklang 2 EQ with a passive mode and tone control. The dots are abalone and it's 34" scale. The fretboard is dark, grained and quite stunning. A zero fret too. I wanted a P5 and  couldn't have found a better one. 

The added bonus is that it weighs 7.5lbs!

It came with a Sandberg gig bag and I also have a Thomann generic hard case that I can ship it in. It's really lovely but I think I've said that already :D

Lots of photos will follow. Collection would be best from Kendal but I can ship at cost.

Could you share the string spacing at the bridge and nut width, please ? 

Thanks. 

No problem. At the nut it's 8.5 to 9mm and at the bridge 18.5 to 19mm. Fairly standard. The nut width is about 44mm.
