hey folks, picked up a nice P Bass locally a while back, and while it was sold to me as a Squier, I'm not sure what it is. It had a sharpie markered black headstock and scotchbrite dulled paint on the body when I bought it, but it played really nice so I picked it up. I went through it, cleaned off the headstock to reveal......nothing. The original logo is long gone. I also wetsanded and polished the body back to a nice shiny finish. One thing i like is the poly finish is really thin on this one, not the thick plastic coating you find on todays Fenders. The only identifying marks on here are- in the neck cavity and on the heel of the neck it says "JUN98" (June 98 I guess...) and on the back of the pickguard it has a "made in japan" sticker.
Now, it's really a sweet player. Satiny smooth neck, beautiful body. So if any of you are looking for a nice player for short money right before x-mas, here's your bass. $150 shipped w/ a gig bag CONUS, paypal, and it's yours!! If it doesn't sell relatively quick, I'll probably tear it apart and start a frankenbass project I've wanted to do for some time.
Questions?? Ask away. She's not perfect in any way, but fully functional with lots of surprisingly nice parts (body/tuners/neck finish..etc) Play it as is, upgrade stuff, or use it as a starter for a project bass.
thanks y'all. happy holidays....
