***NOW FOR SALE ONLY***

I bought this bass a little under a year ago from this thread.

I was just making the transition from 4 strings to 5, and I wanted a good quality, straightforward, passive instrument to play while I did it. I couldn't have asked for a better bass to fit that description.

This P looks, feels, and plays great, and I'm now almost exclusively a 5 string player, BUT. . .

P basses just aren't me. I love the way they sound when I hear other people playing them, and I've tried a couple 4-string P's back in the day, but I always go back to basses with two pickups. My current 5-string stable is a MIA Jazz V, Lakland Skyline 55-01, and as of today a Sterling HS!:bassist:

Anyway, back on topic. This is a great bass, sunburst/tort/rosewood board, pictures coming soon, I love the way it plays but it has one too few pickups for me.

I'm asking $875 shipped CONUS. Gigbag included, nothing too fancy.

Am I interested in trades? Maybe. 5 strings, 2 or more pickups, same general value, I'm not against the deal including a little cash either way.

Bump for pics - other than some light swirling, the only flaw I could find tonight was a tiny ding where your plucking arm sits on top of the bass. Less than 1/4" in diameter, in the black part of the burst, I couldn't get it to show up in a photo.

One thing I forgot to mention - the strap buttons are for straplocks, which I don't have the strap part for. I used them like regular strap buttons and didn't have any trouble.

Opinionated blowhard. But not mad about it.

The post he linked to from the original purchase says 9.3 lbs. I don't see this one lasting long. Thinking....

That would be a record low weight for that bass! It's notorious for being 11-11.5 lbs.

If you only had the hard case...

I couldn't get the link to work from my iPad app but it worked fine from the browser. I don't have a scale at my house, but it has never stood out to me as a particularly heavy bass when I've played it.

Not so. These are usually 9-10 lbs. They can be found a little lighter heavier as well.

It's a good weight... and a great color and grain on her as well! Someone jump on this! I LOVE my 2011 Candy Cola/maple P5 that tips the scales about the same weight... These are PERFECT for P-men...

My latest purchase arrived and she's a beaut! I have a couple of intriguing trade offers on the table but I'll bump this again to see if anyone else is out there. . .
