SOLD FT Feeler: 2008 Fender American Standard Precision V

My 2008 American Standard P5 in almost mint condition. Has a couple of blemishes to the side of the body that are minimally visible – not through the paint.

Thanks P0k!

 

Yup! It really is a well-built P-bass with a fifth string (to quote Ed Friedland). I was listening to the intro to "I'm a Man" by CTA (Chicago), Pete C. on bass...to me, that's the quintessential P-bass sound. The problem is, for me, I prefer a jazz bass/two pickup tone...less thump, more growl. I’ve known this for awhile, but the true P-bass tone verified it for me. This is too nice a bass to just hang on my wall and use for recording. Who has a Lakland they want to trade me?

 

Thanks p0K!

 

All PMs replied. Still available...where are you, 55-02?

Price drop.

 

Well, I just played this bass for the last hour + and it is no longer for sale. I have a potential trade in the works and will consider other 55-02 trades, but if nothing materializes then I will keep it. Not willing to give a bass of this quality away in this crappy economy.

Too many nice bases for sale, trade, etc. So back to for trade or bust.

 

CLOSED - keeping the bass.
