Now sold. Please remove. Fender PJ Limited Edition Seafoam Pearl Metallic £625 Brighton

[WishICouldWalk]

I've thought about this a lot and I've decided to let go of this fantastic bass.

Excellent build quality, this will change your mind about anything bad you've heard about Mexican Fender basses.

Best neck ever - super slim, action low and buzz free.

Really nice sounding pickups. Not at all harsh even when wide open.

Nice and light (8.5-9lbs by bathroom scales - ok, not super accurate but this def feels sub 9lb).

Short run bass so quite unusual and a really nice colour.

I'm a bit of a tort fanatic so I had a tort plate on it which I'll supply.

Prefer local pickup in Brighton but I could box it up and send within UK.

The only issue is a minor nick in the binding/lacquer between 2 and 3rd fret which I've tried to show in the pics.

I'm selling because I don't like to take it on a gig for fear of putting another nick in it somewhere!

As soon as I saw one of these the first time, I instantly liked the look of it.
Had a play of one briefly, at a local BC meet, and it was a nice player too.
Wish I could justify owning one, but sadly I can't. Having reduced my collection - I've sold a few, and still bought one or two more.... will I ever learn? lol

Anyhow, if I was looking for a P bass right now, I'd be sorely tempted

I have one of these and it's AWESOME! Mine's been further upgraded with a John East pre but there's nothing shabby about it in its original form!

 

GLWTS!

I read that as a yes.

[WishICouldWalk]

For those who have enquired about shipping, I have a box that some of my own GAS arrived in a little while back (see last pic) so nobody needs to worry about it being damaged in transit (unless there's some sort of complete disaster for which insurance should cover). PM me to discuss courier etc. It's been a while since I sent anything this sort of size so I'm not really sure the best company to use.

I always use UPS to ship basses through Interparcel

 

I also had one of these and was unlucky enough for it to develop a faulty preamp so I changed it all over to EMGs with the 3 band EQ that barely all fit inside the cavity. 2 9v batteries could be made to fit in the battery compartment by fitting them sideways

Mine's the passive version so there's no need to worry about that on this bass. I actually prefer passive basses which is why I went for this model (that and the block/bound neck and super cool colour 😀).

That's a relief. I hadn't noticed the picture of the back of the body so that's saved me some cash.

I take it you're an active fan? Flats and foam mute is more my thing so it's passive all the way for me.

[Delberthot]

I love the sound of passive precisions when played by others but I can never get a good sound out of them myself

For me the P sound is best in a band rather practicing. Not really sure why.

I bet if you stood further away from your amp, you would find the sound is more pleasing than you think.

 

[Delberthot]

You've actually given me something to think about. I've just made the move from a QSC K12.2 to IEMs and everything sounds different now so it may be time to try again
