ClassicVibes Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The thing with these vintage Fenders is that the ones that are in better condition means they might not have been played much so MIGHT be a dog. Lovely bass though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Who cares... it’s a fender ... and it’s old what could go wrong ? It is by definition totally f ucking amazing because magic has seeped into it whilst it was stored in its special case that the pixies made for it Edited May 22, 2020 by Geek99 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Riva Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) It’s actually a really lovely bass. Edited May 22, 2020 by Old Man Riva Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely bass though. This is what Chris Wolstenholme once said but I think that’s horseshit. Some people will buy a guitar to play every now and again and some people will play 350 shows a year. Some people will keep the guitar safe in a case away from radiators, others don’t mind a bit of wear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walshy Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I’ve got a ‘66 P bass. It’s an absolute belter! It sounds amazing and is easily the best Fender P I’ve had. It’s had a refin but that’s about it. Will be my main gigging bass once we can actually gig again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow_22 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Ive bought from Bass Direct a few times and always had great service but he doesnt half seem to get giddy with his prices when he gets in ‘vintage’ fenders! Theres a 70’s jazz on the site too at an eye an eye watering price. Everytime he gets in a 70’s fender his pricing is miles off, he seems to be a bit ‘excited’ with this 60’s one too IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn’t sell then that’s the sellers problem not theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cytania Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Anyone been to Bass Direct and worked out what the 78 P in Honeyburst had scratched into the back? Somebody made an attempt to sand it out; I think it might read ‘Luv Your Weller’ 🤔🤪 Edited May 25, 2020 by cytania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true I once owned a Greco Rick copy that the original owner was a person with more money than sense bought the bass new played it for about 3 months & put it under his bed for almost 20 years only comming out once a year to basicaly see if it was still there & when under the bed for another year . Untill he found out via a friend I was interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmingo Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 So if a 66 P has an asking of GBP6250, anyone want to hazard a guess at what the asking on this 59 is?

Of course if it were a private sale then the price would in all likelihood be lower, which has always been the case... To put it into context some of the Fender Custom Shop models are listed via retail at close to £4k - there’s a master built Precision listed at Peach Guitars for nearly £8k.
