Duroc17 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Well didn't think i'd be selling this but just fell in love with a CIJ P Bass and it's one in one out with me. I may regret it. This as others here will attest, a lovely bass based on the famous 64 Bruce Thomas was famous for, there has obviously been a lot of love and care gone into crafting this bass. One of the nicest necks i've played, custom designed to Bruce Thomas' high standards, it's a 40mm nut width and as it has a satin finish, it is a joy to play with rolled edges so no fret sprout. The orange body (salmon pink officially but looks orange to me) looks amazing and looks different in different lights but always wow. The pups are very hot, custom wound for Bruce and the response from hi to low is great. Has old school roller bridge saddles for custom string spacing, which is about 19mm on this bass. Freshly strung with brand new light gauge EB roundwounds for super ZING! No dead spots and intonation good - i've added the ashtray cover can remove if you prefer No dings or scratches that i know of, never gigged but seeing as bought last summer that's no surprise. Also comes with brand new Fender gig bag. If this had a Fender logo on it it would be over 1k easy Can post for £20 to UK only im afraid as Brexit has messed up buying/selling abroad big time (took 45 days to return an amp to Germany this year) but if the bass doesn’t sell - I’ll take that as a sign that I need 2 p basses Plus a signed copy of BT’s Rough Notes book - a must read for bassists Edited July 2, 2021 by Duroc17 info update 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricksterphil Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Cracking bass for the money. Bang a set of Fender custom shop pups in and you have a bass that will compare with the best US Fenders 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duroc17 Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Bass sounded awesome in rehearsal last night - it's typical isnt it - just when you buy another bass - your old bass sounds killer then you think - i need 2 P basses - one with flats and one with rounds! Think this is due to Markbass amp finally breaking in - was just a joy to be groovin 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duroc17 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Strawberry and cream! NBD: 99 CIJ PB62 - neck on Bruce Thomas is better, just nicer and faster and the pups are hotter - 62 in dire need of a set up - also flats - but once set up it’s got mojo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
