Hamster Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Condition is as new. I bought this brand new from Andertons in Guildford but with one thing and another I've only played it once at home. I can't justify keeping such a bass unplayed at home. Classic precision tone, it weighs 9lb 9oz and comes with the tweed case. No trade offers please, I'm open to reasonable offers of course. I will ship UK only, the cost of which will be added depending on destination and it will be fully insured. You will only pay exactly what it costs me to ship, or you can arrange your own courier. Here's the Fender description: The American Original 50s P bass pays tribute to the bass that changed the world. It's got a snappy-sounding maple neck with a stunning 58 Pure Vintage pickup that retains that low-end thump of the originals. The American Original Range The American Original range is focussed on decades rather specific years - which could get quite confusing at times. These basses have also got a Modern fretboard radius with a vintage-shaped neck to ensure they're as playable as possible. Nitro Finish One of the best things about the American Original guitars is their Nitro-Cellulose finish which is done to ensure that these instruments resonate like the Fender guitars of old. The Nitro finish is thinner than a modern gloss finish and this allows the wood to breathe and resonate. The nitro finish will also mean the guitar will age beautifully. So your instrument will grow old with you and simply sound better with age as the wood and finish settles.

Bigwan Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I played one of these in guitarguitar Glasgow's bassment last time I was there. Blown away. One of the nicest Ps I've layed hands on. If I didn't already have 6(ish) P basses I might have taken this off your hands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
