adamlunt Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone, I’ve decided to list my old P Bass in favour of something a little more traditional, perhaps with a sunburst and rosewood flavour. Not a desperate sale by any means, but I have a strict 1 in 1 out policy. As you can see, it’s a great example of an old school ash-body, maple-board P Bass. Ready for punk and indie, but can handle soulful RnB all the same. A player’s instrument with the following mods: Nordstrand NP4 pickup - Arguably the best pickup for a P Bass.. BadassII bridge installed at some point - Just the badass-est bridge ever! CTS pots - The originals probably wore out. For me, this just ensures the bass works. In 2020 (amidst all the chaos) I had the bass refretted, and as a result it plays like a dream. I have used Daddario Chromes solidly, meaning there is no wear whatsoever. The body has some wear where a previous owner had fitted and removed a thumb rest, and the neck has some areas where the finish has come away, but this is no way affects playability. I know the important question with basses from the era is the weight, which in this case is a healthy 5.3Kg. I am looking for a sale at this point, but if there is a nice sunburst P Bass out there, I am prepared to exchange with cash your way if needed. And I'm sure it goes without saying, please feel free to get in touch for more pics or info. All the best, Ad Edited July 12, 2022 by adamlunt Temporary withdrawal, may relist 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

von Braun Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Definitely a punk era classic, Paul Simenon, Sid Vicious et al. Great bass, GLWTS. Love this quote from Simenon, on how he trashed the wrong bass: “The show had gone quite well,” he recalls, “but for me, inside, it just wasn’t working well, so I suppose I took it out on the bass. If I was smart, I would have got the spare bass and used that one, because it wasn’t as good as the one as I smashed up. When I look at it now, I wish I’d lifted my face up a bit more.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, when you’re spending this kind of money you really should play it first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
