ezbass Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 First up I have no connection with the shop or with the bass in question. Right here we go, I went into Martin Phelps in Croydon earlier today to buy a capo for my acoustic guitar (damn singers who sing ib Bb ). Hanging up was a '74 Precision, ash body, maple board. It would've been rude not to try it, so I did. Well it played and sounded like a dream and it wasn't heavy in the slightest. The nut width was narrower than my '63, but wider than a J bass, really comfortable. They want £2.4k, but I'm sure that's negotiable. If anyone is after a nice, all original (so it seems) '70s P bass, this one's a beaut! Wish I had the money and room for another P.
EssentialTension Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 I'm sure it's a nice bass but that does sound pricey.

When they haven't moved it in a few weeks might be the time to strike. They also have been known to Ebay certain 2nd hand items, so worth keeping an eye out for.
supabock Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Yes, but you will have to negotiate well to get it down to a reasonable price.....
