This is a recent US made Fender P5 that has been modified with an additional Nordstrand Jazz pickup in the bridge position. It also has a new Hipshot bridge in place of the original stock Fender bridge. It's totally passive with stacked pickup volume controls and a shared tone control. The mods were very nicely done and there are absolutely no issues with the bass. As you might imagine, the bridge pickup makes the bass much more versatile tone-wise. You can dial in just the right amount of midrange "burp" with the additional Jazz pickup. There are no dings, or dents and only very minor signs of having been played. It will ship in it's original TSA style case with all the normal case candy. I don't know why Fender doesn't offer a P/J 5 but until they do, this is the next best thing. Actually it's probably better because the Nordstrand jazz pickup sounds better than a Fender Noiseless pickup would. Save yourself some bucks and buy this one. Come and get it! $1,100 Shipped and insured in the CONUS
Yeah it's a nice one. With the Hipshot bridge and the Nordstrand pickup installed it's a whole lot of bass for the price.
Dammit, where was this two days ago?! I just commissioned Carvin to make me a bass otherwise this one would be on the way to me.
Thanks for the positive comments boys! I'm only selling because I just bought a Pentabuzz and I need to try to offset the cost. This is a really nice bass with the perfect mods at a great price. Somebody snag this...........
Hmmmm, let me ponder that. I'm trying to sell my Geddy Lee Jazz and may have someone interested. If that sells it would make for an easier decision. Thanks!
