wesfinn Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Hi all Up for sale is the faded/aged Sonic Blue Vintage P/J I have just restored. This bass sounds seriously good! The body is featured in the build thread section of the site and went from being a bit of a sorry affair when i got it. The repaired section is slightly visible when held in the light but only close up, this is due to me wanting to keep the Nitro finish as thin as possible. I couldn't capture it on camera. Restored 1961 P bass body with original 1962 neck plate Original finish 1969 block and bound jazz bass neck and tuners (refretted in the 90's, replacement bone nut and one machine head screw replaced) 70's Dimarzio P pickup Vintage repro wiring harness and paper oil caps Ultra thin nitro aged sonic blue finish Vintage style shielding plates and Goth hardware/plates etc and heres some pix THIS BASS HAS BEEN SOLD! comes with Warwick hardcase Edited August 12, 2010 by wesfinn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Has the Fender logo been replaced as the lettering looks really close to the edge of the headstock... could be an odd camera angle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huw Foster Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 If I had the money I'd buy this bass solely for the purpose of playing Duck Dunn basslines. Nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesfinn Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 i had a while to think about how much the bass owes me last night and have decided to lower the price on to what i think is a great price for an awesome bass. So this beautiful bass is now going for £1450! inc hardcase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you fancy a PX for a LPB '64 let me know C EDIT With apologies to Wes for the hijack, the comment above was a little tongue in cheek, and was meant as an indication of just how good I think Wes' bass is. My '64 is staying put, or at least it's staying put unless someone has a beaten-up '64 and fancies a PX with cash my way!

Mrs P very kindly thought this would be a nice birthday pressie, though I'm going to have to wait till early Jan before I get me mitts on it, DOH! I think I'll be allowed to try it when it arrives though, and it's a great incentive to get out booking the gigs for next year. She's a diamond, my missus! Cheers Wes.
