SOLD: 1990 Charvel 1B P Bass- 100% added pointiness- £300 £300

[Old Horse Murphy]

For sale is a gorgeous 1990 Charvel 1B P Bass made in Japan. These are superb instruments and the build quality is everything you'd expect from a Japanese instrument of this vintage. 

As it's black, it does show a number of marks and dings, but nothing horrendous and all cosmetic. The frets have plenty of life left in them and the truss rod works fine and it has a lovely low action. The headstock tip has a small chip out of the top of the lacquer, but again nothing structural, so don't worry, you still get maximum pointiness!

The pickup is original but the wiring loom had to be changed due to a faulty tone pot (the original loom will be included in the sale). It's a reverse P pickup, so it sounds amazingly deep and tight. The cavity cover may be a replacement I think. Everything else is original. 

I have a number of these basses and they're becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Yours for £300 delivered.

Brilliant!

These always strike me as the sports car of basses!

I had an identical one of these for a long while in my late 80s / early 90s hair metal days. Excellent bass!

I still have a Red one. I think the colour is called Whore Red. If not it should be!

I was always confused why the red ones had a black headstock
