Details

If you are familiar with MBasses, or Jon Maghini's work with classic styled basses and guitars, then you know this is a killer high-end instrument.

I've owned several Fender American P5s and this bass would rule over all of them. It's the best playing and sounding 5 string Pbass I've ever had my hands on. I'm just more into active 24 fret basses at the moment.

(PS - if you're a local buyer, I'll give you a discount for not having to ship)

Here's some stats:
  • 2011 build
  • Alder body
  • Flat-sawn maple neck
  • Indian rosewood board
  • 34” scale
  • 19mm at the bridge
  • 1 7/8 nut
  • Passive
  • Nordstrand 5-string Precision Pickup
  • A hair over 9lbs
  • Protec Contigo gig bag

There are some minor indentions and - very - minor scuffs that I tried to capture with these photos:

Jon does build amazing basses... I remember this one at his shop.. Killer P-5.. GLWTS..

Thanks man! Maybe I'll make a video demo of it if it doesn't sell soon. It should sell pretty soon after that lol. It's tone reminds me a lot of the 5 string pbass that Scott Devine plays in some of his videos.

Nice. These are easily on par with NYC Sadowsky, USA Lakland etc IMHE.

Hey y’all, sorry I took this down for a little while due to some personal business, but decided to put her back on the market.

This is still, hands down, the best 5 string P bass I’ve ever laid hands on.

I can't believe it took this long to sell, especially at that price.. These are killer basses...

I haven't been bumping it because I dreaded seeing her go.

It really is a one of a kind PBass, and I played it one last time before shipping off. I wanna keep them all but I've just got waaaaaay too many basses and more into "modern" basses with active preamps nowadays.

N. Tonawanda, N.Y. I play in
I remember that bass when I was at Jon's shop one time.. Very cool.. I'm actually going in a different direction and playing in passive mode and want a more natural tone.. It may have a lot to do with my Bergantino gear.. I've also been using tube preamps.. Going more old school..

Yeah I go through phases... give me 6 months and I'll probably be looking for a more vintage tone :laugh:
