Fender AVRI PJ Loaded Body SOLD £420 Hexham

[walshy]

Now £375 posted in UK

I bought this from @Beedster a few weeks ago and I really only wanted the neck but it was a killer PJ so I bought the whole bass. The neck indeed is sublime but I’m gonna use it on something else so the loaded body is up for grabs. Info below And U.K. shipping included in price. 
 

Be quick though as I have a Status P neck lying about that may end up on this. 

THE BODY

The body is from an AVRI 58. It has yellowed slightly through the years (I've owned this for roughly 3 years). It was bought new from Guitar Guitar in Glasgow. It is finished in a very thin nitro that has worn in many places. It has many dings and scratches but it hasn't been mistreated. It's been my workhorse for the past 3 years and it shows. Some parts are getting darker due to friction (mostly where the arm rests). The paint has also cracked in the back and there is a bit of paint missing. There is also some less visible cracking that I haven't been able to show on camera.

THE ELECTRONICS

The middle pickup is an AVRI58 pickup with raised A pole pieces. The bridge pickup is a DiMarzio instead. The position of the bridge pup gives you a pj sound but a slightly fatter one plus it's great to use rest your thumb on it. Lifting the tone knob will result in a series/parallel switch, great if you need some extra meaty sound for pick playing or solos.

THE HARDWARE

The bridge is from the AVRI58 except for one screw that rusted and it had to be changed. The 3 knobs are just aftermarket and
the anodised guard is original from the AVRI58 as well.
