CHRISDABASS Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Morning Im looking Into selling / trading my Fender P5 This is quite difficult for me as it was an engagement present from my other half Trouble is i just cant get the P bass sound to work for me or the band and after talkin about it the mrs agrees that it would be better to have something i use a lot more Pics can be seen here [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=66412&hl=engagement"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...p;hl=engagement[/url] For anyone that's interested i have a few options.... So here comes the interesting part..... I could just sell the P bass..... SOLD!! (oly white, rosewood board, excellent ungigged condition with case + candy etc) Or i could trade + cash for a 4 string Sadowsky metro..... Option number three would involve me looking for a sadowsky NYC and offering both the P5 and my current Sadowsky Metro as trades against it... If you have a metro or an NYC lets talk and work out a deal Pics to follow should there be interest in these or similar options Cheers Chris 07974 317 284 Edited August 24, 2010 by CHRISDABASS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 You could help out your home life by modifying the tone of the P5 with a preamp and/or pickup replacement? Bartolini, Fralin and Delano would greatly improve the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) If I may be of help - from a Talkbass FS ad for Fender American Standard P5: "Q. What is the width @ nut and 12th fret, and string spacing at the bridge? A. I don't have the most accurate measuring device, but here are the (close) measurements: Nut: 1 15/16 minus a hair 12th: 2 3/4 String spacing at bridge is by my measure 18.6."
