With no interest in the D5 modified, which is understandable, I’m going to withdraw and return the bass to stock. I’ll sell the tuners and pickup separately and may have a near standard D5 up for sale.

Now reduced to £400. Which when one considers that the pick-up and tuners alone cost over £300 is a ‘bit of a bargain’. As said below, the original items are included. 
This is a superb instrument in excellent condition as the photos hopefully show. 
Prospective buyers are welcome to come and try it out.

Trades for amp head also considered, cash either way. 
 

Due to moving in a new direction bass wise I'm selling my much modified Sire D5.

 

It has a Curtis Novak Gold Foil pickup fitted. Not to be confused with Fender's own allegedly poor attempt at gold foil pickups.

To hear what a Curtis Novak pickup sound like on bass I refer you to LowEndLobster:

 

 

The bass is in excellent condition as per the photos. It has USA Hipshot Ultralite tuners fitted and a Bloodstone passive loom.

 

The original tuners and pickup will be supplied with the bass. Presently fitted with Dunlop strap locks that I will replace with originals on sale unless the buyer prefers them. It has nickel knobs that look just right and a fresh set of DR Victor Wooten strings (light gauge).

 

The neck has a mark near the nut. A scratch that has been covered by a Tru Oil and Gunstock Wax neck finish but is still visible under the finish. Hopefully the photos show it.

 

This is a seriously impressive bass with £100's of tasteful modifications. It includes a custom Tiny Tone Tort pick guard.

 

Any questions ask away. Bass can be tried locally. I have a spare cheapish gig bag for this bass and can courier in the UK at cost.

 

Open to offers of course.

 

Peter

Just to add, I'm now prepared to courier this bass in the UK. It'll be carefully wrapped in a cheap gig bag and cardboard box.
