Hooch Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) For your consideration this sweet Pbird handmade in Japan five years ago. The brand isn't well-known in Europe, but uses high-end specs such as full-nitro on body and neck, Montreux repro pickups, and premium selected woods, easily on par with high-end Japanese replicas (Vanzandt, Navigator, Freedom...). Gorgeous Madagascar rosewood fingerboard, 2-piece body made with old mahogany stock. The wood used in my 1961 Gibson EB-0 just look like this one. Bass is set with a nice low-action, no fretbuzz anywhere on the neck, trussrod working fine and with lots of life left. Pretty comfy C-shaped Precision neck. Electronics and hardware are working as they should - bridge pickup pot is a little stiff. As it's full-nitro lacquered, it has some checkings. Did my best to have some pics of the 'worst'. Medium-weight: 4,3kg / lbs 9.5. Perfect balance. Pickups are wired in series, tone's huge with this distinctive tbird growl ! Pretty resonant body with loads of sustain. What i planned is a push-pull mod so that you can switch to a parallel wiring, and use more easily neck or bridge only. Or have some Stellartone ToneStyler in there. Like it is now it's a bass with tremendous tone, which fully nails this tbird's heft and clarity. But it not has the flexibility you'd get with a parallel wiring. These are easy and not expensive mods if you decide to have them done. Comes with fresh Ernie Ball rounds (45-105). As for the shipping, (EDIT: found how to ship this in a full-length parcel) insured shipping using French Post services, the bass comes in a 'as new' flight case. Shipping fees will be €77. £1200/1350€ shipped to your door in European countries. Edited September 10, 2020 by Hooch 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
