FS/FT Feeler: 94/95' Fender Foto Flame P bass

ledyard · #1 02-28-2011, 01:14 AM

I really really love this P bass. Its light, it plays and sounds better than my last two MIA P basses. While still having the 1.625" Nut width, the profile is slim and fast. Strung with DR Black Beauty 45-105. I havnt pulled it apart but it has the most functional and dynamic tone pot I have experienced on a P bass too.
The only reason this one is up here is because I'm having a bit of a gear crisis at the moment. It wouldnt hurt my feelings to keep this one where it is.
I have only a couple cell phone pics at the moment. If your not tire kicking I will get you any pics you would like and alot better looking than these. I would say its in 9 out of 10 condition.
$500 shipped for the next few days before I pull it. Dropped the price from $600 to try and sell quickly.

More pics below.

Worth every penny. I had one like this with a tort guard, very dark bassy pickup. I miss it.

I know i am going to regret selling it. I have to let one of my fenders go though to aquire some fundage. I put this one up because I figured it would be alot more appealing. I'de love to keep it. Hands down best P bass ever laid my hands on. I dont find the pickup too bassy though. I find it very vintage sounding. lots of that signature P bass mid range snot, nice even lows and very smooth and very nice high end.

****ALSO......before I forget.....The only thing about the bass is that it will not come with strap buttons. I will be removing my straplock buttons. I have a few stock type buttons. I can see if I can find two that will work. May not match though. Or I can leave them off and you can put what you like on it.

I was seriously thinking of getting a vintage tort and also a black one.
I'm not in love with the idea of selling it but theres a certain bass for sale here that I just have to have.

BTW.....9.8 lbs on my digital scale this thing weighs. I couldnt believe it. Certainly doesnt feel like it. I was shocked it was over 8.

Major trade bait would be a USA Millenium 4 if anyone has one.

anyone have a MIJ Jazz, aerodyne, or something with a 1.5" nut???

ledyard · #20 04-10-2011, 11:52 AM

I just decided two days ago screw it, i'm not selling this thing anymore. Then someone puts up a graphite bass within my range. Since I pine for a graphite bass.....this is getting dropped only for a couple days until I come to my senses and keep it like I should.

So I'm saying lets go from $600 shipped (you know its worth every penny) to $500 shipped in a new very nice fender form fit HSC. But if this dudes bass sells before I can snag it I'm pulling it.

Oh and PS....I have a Tortoise shell pick guard on the way for it. If you buy it I will ship you the tort when it gets here.
