gafbass02 Posted April 5, 2010 Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) Ok, ive done it again!, my wanting to like P basses and then finding out i dont has led me to this... Its a 1996 MIK fender 50th anniversary squier Precision, that the previoous owner had converted to a '57 style with a lightly aged( actual play wear i think) anodized scratchplate and pickup covers, it also apparently has had a pickup upgrade but to what im not sure. I then went and changed the pickguard to tortie, the pots to alpha's with an orange capacitor, did a fret polish and clean up and added gold hardware and self adhesive 'inlays'. [b]Now the bass is for sale with the original chrome hardware, [/b] [u]im keeping the gold for now, [/u] [b]but i will include the pickup covers and both pickguards, the 'inlays' im happy to leave or remove as preferred, they come off with no ill effects, the tugbar is also included.[/b] The bass has a lovely flamey, quite flat neck and is set up pretty well, although i reckon it would benefit from a nut file. The body has some chips and wear as its been a real player throughhout its life, the fingerboard and neck have started to age really nicely. As you can see the previous owner has also added a fender decal and laquered over it, although id have used a darker tint myself. Its a really genuinely lush bass with a great p bass sound and proper, ahem, 'mojo' it would make a great gigging bass or project, and looks the 'shizzle'. Im after £160 posted or swaps for jazz basses or WHY. (two pickups though!) Edited April 5, 2010 by gafbass02
gafbass02 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Posted April 5, 2010 (edited) more pics, sorry for dodgy iphone quality lol so just to reiterate, the gold will ALL be removed and the chrome put back on, (now done) and both pickguards and the chrome pickup covers included in the price Edited April 5, 2010 by gafbass02

cocco Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Gaf I've done that so many times! Damn p basses and their awesome looks, I find them pretty unplayable though, steve Harris, Sid Vicious and paul simmonon are to blame in my case.
Gust0o Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Whilst this is long gone, the Gold on the P-bass works oh-so-well...
allihts Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 Hence why I'm on the lookout for one of those guards!!

gafbass02 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Posted February 8, 2011 What he said. Aurora project. Already I'm looking at my sue Ryder thinking, hmmm, looks great but without a bridge pickup I just cant play the damn thing! Did it again lol!
