Squier Classic Vibe P with mods SOLD. £350 Central london

[dave_bass5]

Not used this for a while so no need for it to sit around any longer.

I brought this new the year it came out, around 2009 IIR, and gigged it quite a bit for a couple fo years. It has been well looked after though, and there are no issues. The neck is a dream to play, if you like thin fast necks of course. This has the smaller frets that Squier stopped doing for the latest versions.

A small amount of buckle rash on the back, and a few pits on the front, but no sign of the paint wearing off or showing through. All minor surface stuff. 

Ive put a Dimarzio DP122 in it, along with a Gotoh 201 bridge. I wasn’t keen on the stock string spacing of 20mm, and i wanted the bass to have a bit more character. It has a lovely growl to it, but still with a proper P bass thump. Still closer to a P than my Yamahas. 

It has a nice low action, and no fret buzz for my plying. Not 100% sure what the strings are, definitely some form of  XL’s though, but who cares, im sure you will put your own on.

The PG is a bit messy, but again, it only has surface marks and no cracks or breaks etc. 

Using my luggage scales it comes in between 8.3 and 8.5lbs. 

Not looking for trades, but open to very near offers. Too many basses for a keyboard player so i don’t need any more thanks.  Not going to post as i dont have confidence in my packing, but i will include a soft gig bag. Meet up in central london.

Cheers. Ive never gelled with the colour. I just don’t find the bass attractive, but ive always seen past that as it plays so well. I had my CV jazz neck on it for a while and it played and sounded as good as my Lakland Duck Dunn.

I love fiesta red basses...

I like red basses, i just find the Squier’s fiesta red to be a bit of a weak red.

Hello, nut with please?

19 mm string spacing?. Thank you.

I too had one of these, and really regret selling mine
I previously wasn't that fussed about the colour, but as soon as I owned one of these - I simply loved the colour, and the pickguard and dark Rosewood fretboard
Looks absolutely lush IMHO

Like so many of us on here, I too have too many in my collection.... or I'd be looking for another one of these!

If i don’t have a lovely Sandblasted P bass this would be my main P. The Fender wins only on looks.
