geoffbyrne Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 (edited) Neck through Hondo Pro or Satellite P bass. Previous owner has given the headstock a coat of black paint and I currently don't feel like stripping it as this would likely remove any transfer left under it. It demonstrates much mojo - many dents and scrapes, but nothing major. Neck shows plenty of wear, but there's plenty of fret left. The action is very good and the bass plays pretty well indeed. The neck is best described as a deeper 'D' rather than a shallow 'C'. Originals of these had DiMarzio pickups, but I don't think this is one - it sounds more than OK, though. I think the pots may still be original. The volume pot is fine, but the tone pot is a little iffy. The worst point is that some imbecile pre-owner has reamed the hex socket in the truss rod nut and I can't adjust it. Having said that, the action is low and excellent and, I believe, stable. I'll include another truss rod nut if buyer can extract the original. £65 ono Geoff Edited March 24, 2009 by geoffbyrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
