Fenderesque P bass shell pink - resurrected Now Traded! £800

[andybassdoyle]

 

GORGEOUS shell pink p bass originally from walshy.

 

Alder body, slab design with a very light relic (I believe by Dave Wilson). This was my first proper p and it’s wonderful. I did make some changes:

 

Original neck swapped for a Nate Mendel. It’s worn but in a good way and suits the bass much better imo.

 

tort plate 

 

one of the badass saddles developed a problem so I replaced with hipshot kickass saddles. Gives the advantage of adjustment to the spacing as well 

 

Weight is a tad over 9lbs. Pickup is now a Nordstrand NP4A. Cts pots.

 

Really wanted to keep this as great rock/funk machine, sadly repair bills on my double bass necessitate extra cash flow

 

Shipping is an option….

I can attest from recordings that Andy sent me a while ago, this bass sounds lovely.

I think this is the only time I've seen a red tort scratch plate match.

Well done sir.

Thanks man, here is a sample if anyone’s interested. The bass had flats on at the time and the 62 pickup

Some Paul Jackson vibes in there!

Immediate double bass repair requirement is now sorted but having already decided to let this go I’ll bump it a couple more times.

 

Happy to consider trades for anything intriguing
