This is the best P-Bass I've ever owned in 40 years, but, hélas, I'm not a P-Bass guy...

Will be delivered in a Fender shotgun type (see photos).

Non-smoking environment as usual.

The cavities have been fully shielded with conductive paint (and some copper too), the scratchplate (or pickguard for some) has been fully shielded with aluminium and the bass has been set up professionally, which means it's super easy to play and dead silent.

It is fitted with a set of broken in La Bella 760FS Deep Talking Stainless Steel Flat Wound (45 - 65 - 85 - 105), which really serve this bass.

It comes with the thumb rest and the two ashtrays.

The bridge cover has the foam inside cut to fit à la Nordymute, so not pushing on the strings, but going "around" them: true Motown sound guaranteed.

What you see is what you get !

Look carefully at the photos taken from different angles and lights to see the real condition, which is good with all the nicks of 30 years old bass.

Due to severe back problems (67% officially disabled because of it) plus right shoulder injury (non-operable capsulitis from which, after more than 4 years, I will never fully recover), I'm selling all my basses over 4 kilos and also the ones I'm not really using as well as some stuff I don't use. I've also considerably lowered the price for a quick sale.

Don't hesitate to ask for more.
