I got this bass as part of a trade deal. I love P-Basses and this is a nice one. Looks great, plays great, and sounds great. Nice weight too at just under 9.2 lbs. Im used to an A or B neck, but was interested in trying a classic C. Its not uncomfortable; in fact a lot of people find them ideal. Its just not what Im used to so Im offering it up for sale. If you dig that wide, slightly thin maple neck - this is your bass.
Its in excellent shape, especially considering its 25 years old, with no real dings or wear. The frets look great. The nitro finish is crazed here and there, which actually looks kind of cool. Its hard to see it in normal light, especially straight on, so I took some close-ups in bright light to overemphasize how they look. What you primarily see is the shadow cause by the light hitting the crazing at an extreme angle. Most of the time and under normal conditions they are barely visible. There are also a couple of dark areas on the bottom of the bass that I assume is from the reaction of the nitro finish from sitting too long on a guitar stand.
The Fender inspection tag indicates that it was built in 1989. The bass comes with the original G&G tweed case and a lot of the original case candy.
$1100 plus shipping. PayPal is fine, but I can make other arrangements if necessary. I will only ship the bass to a US address.
As far as trades go, Im raising funds to get a Roscoe or Sadowsky 5, so I would only be interested in one of those plus cash on my end.
Here's one of the back. You can see a little of the crazing near the end of the bass near the strap button.
Here's one with the covers on.
Some close-ups showing the crazing.
Upper horn.
Dark spots
Case candy
