I'm looking for a good quality P-bass with maple neck. Must not weigh over the upper 9's. I would prefer an older Fender, but would consider any other high quailty brand. Thanks |

Just a little over your weight specs (no idea what your price range is): http://www.ebay.com/itm/1978-Fender-Pre ... 500wt_1053 And here's a cool antigua example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-1980-Fende ... 403wt_1287 Personally, I'd never pay that for the first listing. But the antigua basses are rare. |

The Antigua is still slightly over-priced (it's been for sale for the past 2 years starting at 10k) but incredibly rare. I'd say at $1,800 it could sell to an Antigua (which I affectionately called Snotigua) fanatic. |

Thanks for the heads up.... Yeah, I run across that bass during my daily eBay window shopping spree. That is a cool bass, but over my budget. Although, here's a new prospect... http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem ... 3038149629 |

Yeah I almost posted that link for you, but wasn't sure you'd dig the bad replacement decal and whatnot. |

Aside from the HORRIBLE decal replacement and bad neck refinish, there's something "not right" about that bass... |

The finish looks great but the way it wears tells me it is a nitro finish, not consistant with late 70's Fenders |

And Flav, you may consider a Warmoth build if you're not in too big a hurry. As someone whose played a lot of Warmoth stuff, I would highly recommend that option. That way, you could pretty much get whatever you want. At the end of the day, you could have about $1200-$1500 (depending on your chosen options) in a bad ass PBass. |

I agree, the finish on that bass does not sit well with me either. Yep, I'm considering Warmoth too. The idea of building a bass to spec is very appealing. |

I've got a '78 P w/maple neck 3 tone burst that I'd consider selling. It's got a tortoise PG on it but I'd include the original black. Hard case & knobs are not original. I'm not sure of the weight (it's heavy) but I can check it for you. What's your budget like? |

Sounds like a nice bass, I hope you can find it a new home. |

No worries. I'm not really hot to sell it. It just sits at home now since I moved to fivers exclusively. I'm the guy that got the Lull from Sly a few years back. |
