xilddx Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) She's a beauty, but I need a Jazz, indeed, I have one coming on Monday! This P is in near mint condition, just a few small and hard to see marks on the body and headstock, no buckle rash, near mint. There are no issues with this bass at all. Sounds thumpy and is a lively responsive bass with rounds on, deep and trad with flats. It's quite high output, keeps up with my Warwicks actually. Very, very nice to play, the neck is beautiful and the fret ends are nicely rolled and smooth. Medium/low action. The neck and headstock are a nice rich honey colour, as they should be. Stays in tune perfectly. Owned from new by MusicMan20 and sold to me a couple of months ago. It's all original apart from the Switchcraft jack. I added the trays, thumbrest and the dark tort PG, all original USA Fender parts. Comes with hard case and the original red tort pickguard. £400 plus delivery. Or you may collect from me in Ealing, west London. Sorry, no trades, just cash, I'm funding other planned acquisitions Cheers, Nigel Edited December 6, 2009 by silddx

baboom Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 ooohhhh - it has arrived - beautiful! Could hardly put it down to write this. Time to find that feedback thread and say nice things!
xilddx Posted December 8, 2009 Author Posted December 8, 2009 That's brilliant, Tim! Don't know what happened to that tone pot, was it just a loose retaining screw? Hopefully it's fine. Really glad you like her so much, I'm delighted! Cheers for being so cool to deal with.
baboom Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 yup - just the retainer screw at fault there - easy :-).
