I am the 2nd owner of this bass.
The original owner won it in a raffle and sold it to me.

It is currently equipped with the DiMarzio DP146 Will Power Middle pickup.
The pick guard is the Fender White Pearl style.
The bass has the Gotoh 201 bridge installed.

Condition is Mint-.

The fingerboard is rosewood. It is in immaculate condition and not chewed up.
The neck just "feels right." It is straight and set up for low action.
The bass was my main weekly player for about five years.

It is not dented, nor dropped, nor a dog of any kind.
Neck and body are the same as they came new from the factory.
All chrome parts are 100%. There are no pits nor permanent finger print stains. No corrosion.

I am a computer technician by trade, and did the electronics upgrades.
The soldering work is clean and accurate.
The DP146 is a high energy P-pickup and wired with both Series and Parallel modes by toggle switch.

I will include the original MIM pickups and old white pick guard, if I can find it.
The bass should be disassembled and shipped with the neck removed for safety.

The $355 asking price is less than 66% of new mail-order price, and all the work is done for you.
Shipping charges will be the actual costs, no inflated markup.

Free bump.

Nice looking bass and it sounds like you know what you are doing. No cold solder joints I bet ;)

It is a nice bass, indeed.
It was my main player when I got started in 2000, until the SR5HH came along in mid-2007.
Even then the SR5 took back seat to this P.
I have SR5, J-fretless (up for sale, too), this P, another P+SPB3 and L1500 (up for sale), but this P was the one that "felt right". Hard to pin it down.

I'm divesting all 4-strings to force myself to stay with all 5'ers.
This P and J-fretless being replaced by custom P/J fretless 5'er.

If you'd be willing to save it I could do $425+ shipping around February. Don't have the money now, but it's a beautiful bass.

Added some cash as a persuasion, but I understand if you sell it soon. Just getting into bass playing, and this model has been my dream, sans something insanely priced. No pressure either way.

This particular P was my main player when I got back into music in 2000, after a 30-year hiatus.
I thought I would dislike the 1 5/8" nut width, but found I actually prefer it over the J width.

The neck and action on this one is excellent.
I've compared it with my bassist's American model, and my MIM gives up nothing.
Mine is also hot-rodded with the DiMarzio DP146 and series-parallel wiring.
This really does add a whole new tone on demand.

Sorry, but cannot wait for a tentative sale.
First with the cash, and its gone.

The bass is shipped and on its way to the buyer.
FWIW, this was an eye-opener for how deep everybody gets into your pocket.

$38 eBay commission
$13 PayPal commission
$5 shipping tape
$32 shipping cost with insurance
$20 TalkBass supporting membership

This took $108 off the top of the selling price.
Fortunately, I had the original shipping boxes.
It would be ghastly thinking about paying for double boxing by the UPS Store or similar.

My other two basses sold through the TalkBass classifieds, which saved the punitive eBay commissions and insert fees.
PayPal still gets their chunk, as does the USPS.

Thanks to everybody who responded to this ad.
