Fender P5 *SOLD*

[CHRISDABASS]

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

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.

She's fine with it, not causing any trouble at home mate

Tried pre amps and all sorts but i think im a jazz bass man at heart


Its a shame i know

I'd love the P5. Sadly have no spare cash at the moment, only the trade bait in my sig below.

Gwan Kev, this'll suit the Southern Boogie band down to the ground.

Measurements can prob be found on fender's site

im away from the bass at the moment so cant check for you

[Clarky]

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."
