I need to do some downsizing to fix a gaping wound on my credit card, and last in is first to go. This is an INCREDIBLE Double-P bas that I got from Xhawk several months back. The pics dont do this one justice...the wood grain almost "shimmers" as you look around it...amazing. Here is his description:
EDIT: HARD SHELL CASE INCLUDED
Here we have my awesome Fender/Warmoth Double Precision Bass. Originally built by another TB'er. But I've upgraded almost everything since I've gotten it.
NECK: Vintage 50's Fender Precision P-Bass RI Neck, MIM. These necks were made right. Best P-neck I've ever played. Vintage frets, edges are as smooth as they get. Thick as a 2x4 with a nice, beefy "C" shape.
Trussrod works excellent and is set-up with the slightest most relief allowed.
Vintage-style HIPSHOT tuning keys. Smooth as silk. Stays in tune forever.
BODY: Custom WARMOTH Dbl-P bass swamp ash, top rout. Perfect pup placement. Factory sunburst finish, cost over $400.00.
Custom made maple shim, fits full pocket, as it should. Shim is not really needed, but the Gotoh 201 bridge has larger saddles than a traditional Fender bridge, so I shimed it. Shim is custom made to provide a slight tiltback for EXCELLENT action. 3/64" @ 12th fret. Can even go lower, depending on your attack.
DiMarzio: 80's P-Bass pup in the bridge position. I've had this pup for many years just waiting for the right project. This was it.
Fender vintage RI pup in the neck position, w/grounding plate. Both pups compliment each other like I've never heard before. Truly a superior tone!!
CUSTOM CONTROLS: All CTS pots with cloth wiring and HUGE .47 Orange drop capacitor. 1-neck volume, 1-stacked bridge volume. Full tone on outer ring, controls both pups with NO phase issues. SwitchCraft Jack.
Allparts tortoise pickguard. ALL control cavities are copper-tape lined. Properly grounded and completely quiet. Bass weighs in at a solid 10lbs. even.
This is THE perfect P-Bass IMO. Plays, feels and sounds INCREDIBLE!
OVER $1200 INVESTED IN PARTS ALONE, not including labor
There are a couple nicks on the body..one on the arm contour, and a couple by both strap pegs. (I didnt notice these till today when I took the pics---but full disclosure and all).
I'm asking $650 SHIPPED in the CONUSA. Trades for lightweight cabs considered, or interesting 4 string basses...really has to be in my favor though as I need the cash more than anything ;-)
