FS Fender American P Bass 5-String

[jzbass6]

FS only, no trades please, Fender American P Bass 5, classic 3-tone sunburst with rosewood FB. The bass has a small ding about 1.5" in front of the bridge (not able to photograph) and the minor surface scratches from normal handling otherwise in excellent condition. It comes in a SKB hard shell case with Fender case candy. The bass sounds great, classic P-tone, I'm selling to help fund a new PA system for our church. Asking $925 shipped in the CONUS.
Thx, check it out

Tempting. I need 5 strings, and am looking for a passive, 34" scale bass. I was thinking jazz, but I already have a "passive jazz" if I bypass the preamp on my current bass so maybe a different "flavor" would be appropriate...especially for horn band, R&B stuff.

I just got the Candy Cola colored one of these, all i can say is this new P bass V from FENDER plays and sounds amazing, who ever buys this will be super happy with it trust me. I am not into P BASSES but this one won my heart for sure.

Not again dude.... just buy it... Will it work for your jazz stuff?....In short, YES. It's a great bass. They track beautifully and sound awesome live. I love mine and if I didn't already have one of these, I'd be bagging this one. I get more compliments on the sound of my P5 than any of my other basses. (including my 2008 MIA J5)

Bump

[Dbassmon]

what does this bass weigh?

[jzbass6]

Not sure I don't have a scale but I guess somewhere between the 9.5 and 10 lb range.

I am just not sure about smooth jazz with a P bass. Not very "Nathan East" sounding. Of course, he uses active basses so...

If I could sell my Cirrus, I would have this in my stable. Killer bass.

Great offering here, Will. I especially enjoyed Ed F's video review of these Fender P's. I couldn't believe how clearly that B-string was ringing. He just kept hammering on it and it just kept ringing with noticeable clarity. Very impressive.

I know a drummer down there south and west of you that we both might have played with, so a bump for you and this new classic P.

Woo-hoo! Getting me a 'burst P, roughly 34 years after I foolishly traded away my last one. Looking forward to getting reacquainted.

Congrats. I really wanted this one. P5 for me one day.
