shinhoman Posted August 5, 2009 Posted August 5, 2009 (edited) This bass has a great sound, and it's made even better by the Kent Armstrong humbucker added in the bridge. The finish can be described as a metallic blue, but it can look slightly green in some lights. Not seen another one like it. Has a rosewood fretboard, and a red 3 ply torty scratchplate. The controls have been modded to suit the pickup config. It has a master volume, a blend, a master tone, and a coil select switch for the humbucker. The blend knob and coil switch provide a huge range of tones, and is a good alternative to a standard PJ setup, but it can of course provide the classic p bass sound when needed. Serial is MZ3 so its around 2003-2004 and is MIM.

King Tut Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 I think this used to be mine. It is awesome - it's not refinished - any chance of some pics?
King Tut Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 Sorry - didn't see the pics at first - yep that's my old one! I'm tempted - would ya take £240 posted? I might regret this in the morning!

Did i buy it off of you on ebay? or was that someone else? Seeing as the postage will be about 20 quid i would meet you half way and go for 250 posted? Dan EDIT: I would let it go for 240 posted, but a local shop is offering 220 for it, so that would work out pretty much the same minus the hassle of shipping. Edited September 2, 2009 by shinhoman
King Tut Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 No worries mate - I've got far too many basses as it is! I believe it was called Daphne Blue and was a common colour for MIM's. I was always amazed at the power of the original P split pickup in this bass. You didn't buy it off me - I traded it to basschatter AlfieNoakes for far too less than I should have done. Good luck with the sale - she's a beautiful player!

Yeah the p pup is really strong, with a nice low mid grunt. When i got the bass it had really quite bad fret buzz, but i've sorted that now and every note rings out clearly. I feel harsh asking for 250 posted now so if you change your mind you can have it for 240 posted. Dan
Tait Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 looks like ice blue metallic to me, not daphne blue.
shinhoman Posted October 6, 2009 Author Posted October 6, 2009 this is still up for sale guys, surely someone would like a nice cheap P?
Bottle Posted October 7, 2009 Posted October 7, 2009 OMG that looks sooo tasty - really like the idea of a P+HB bass atm. *Thinks* Might be PM'ing you shortly - need to check on funds Ta, Ian
