This is the, I think early nineties or late ‘80s Precision copy that I posted about recently and now need to move on to make space for something else. It’s a reluctant sale really, because it’s a really nice bass; lightweight, low action and sonically does what a P bass should. I did,as I mentioned in the other thread: Replace the pickup and wiring loom with a recent 2018 Mex Fender Player series one. Lined the cavity with copper tape. add New shiny knobs Glue crack in the pick guard by the jack socket Gave the fingerboard and frets a bit of a spruce up. It’s aging nicely with the pick guard and neck looking a lovely vintage colour. There is a bit of a ding in the back of the neck but otherwise in very good condition, having spent much of its life in its gig bag in the cupboard. It'll come with a cheap gig bag and the nylon strap in the pics. I’d prefer it if you’d like to come and pick up, kettle will be on or meet to collect nearby. I do have a big heavy Thomann packing box for postage if you’d like to arrange a courier.

Hi, Here is my 2018 American Original 60s precision, begrudgingly up for sale. I don’t play in a band anymore and unlikely to in the future,so,alas, it has to go. I have owned plenty guitars over the years, this has been the best sounding, most playable, best feeling, gives most pleasure. It has served me well at gigs , forever receiving compliments on its sound. Comes with Fender tweed case, the original was black, I believe. In Lake Placid Blue, it has been fitted with white pick up covers, although the original black ones are supplied, I quite like the white ones, so left them on. It has a few dings here and there in the nitro finish, but isn’t that why we like it so much? Neck is straight and apparently the shape,and wood, is the best on any bass at this level. Comes with all case candy, pick up and bridge covers, certificate of authenticity etc. Weighs 3.9kg I think the price is right, look at the price of new ones nowadays, I really will be sad to see this go, no silly offers please and is sale only, I have no need for any trades. Collection from Warrington would be best, but open to discuss other options to meet up, I’m sorry but won’t courier this. Thanks for looking, any more info you need, send me a pm and I’ll do my best for you, Cheers Lloyd. Here’s some blurb from Fender: By the 1960s, the Precision Bass was the workhorse electric bass; from the clubs of Detroit to the beaches of Southern California, its tone laid the foundation for modern music. The American Original ‘60s Precision Bass has all of the features with which the P Bass conquered the world of music—elegantly simple, its sound, style and comfort are joined by modern playability. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only lets the body breathe with its true tonal character, it also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way. American Original instruments feature specially voiced pickups crafted to reproduce authentic Fender sound. This Precision Bass features a “C”-shaped neck profile delivered straight from 1963 to your hands. Remarkably comfortable, it suits any playing style. Original-era fans can rest assured every curve and line of the body and neck are accurate to the historic originals. From the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of hardware is just like the original. This 9.5”-radius fingerboard is slightly flatter than a vintage-style 7.25” radius, providing a comfortable fret-hand feel. Vintage-tall frets make it easier to add vibrato to your basslines.

I can't quite believe I'm willing to let this go but I got a serious bargain with another DM2000 which is a lovely upgrade for my home studio.. 😃 This bundle will almost certainly be the best spec'd sale of an 02R and associated items virtually anywhere in the last 5 years or more: 1x Yamaha 02R mixer complete with meterbridge running V2 O/S. 2x Yamaha CD8-AT 8 in / 8 out ADAT cards. 2x TC Electronic Unity cards - the ADAT / TDIF I/O versions. 1x TC Electronic Unity card - no I/O. 2x Yamaha CD8-AD - double height analog 8 in / 8 out on quarter inch jacks. 1x Yamaha CD8-AE AES 8 out / 8 out AES card complete with break out loom from D-Sub 25 to XLR. 1x Original paper manual and other bits of documentation. This unit is an ex-ITV broadcast desk and has been very well cared for throughout it's life - no sticky faders, no yellowed plastics, no missing encoder knobs - about as clean as you're ever likely to find. After it's time with ITV, it passed to an employee who'd used it for a couple of live, surround-sound projects then finally, on to me. I upgraded it to it's current configuration running two Unity cards without sacrificing any I/O as one feeds into the other in extended routing mode so 16 analog in plus 16 ADAT and if you changed the sub group config, you could do another additional 8 analog inputs. Overall you get a 40 input (full processing) digital mixer with 6 (up from 2) effects units, 8 auxes, 8 subgroups, time-code triggered full-feature automation plus a million other features. I'm also prepared to show you how to use the thing, too. ❤️ Please check out my very long running thread on these old things here - this one features heavily: Delivery will be expensive so I'm prepared to deliver it personally - we'll discuss that cost at the time of sale although it'd be ideal if the prospective buyer is willing to collect the package in person.

For sale is my Vincent Akkurat PJ5. I have owned it since February last year. I had been using it a lot last year as I was busier with more R'n'B/Hip hop gigs but my work now calls for a different type of sound. It is a really stunning bass, one of the nicest I've ever played, incredible build quality and a beautiful neck. The colour is Petticoat Pink, with an Olive wood fretboard. I have found it works wonderfully for R'n'B, Hip Hop and soul music. I think it is a really amazing option for people playing that type of thing but who don't want to go foe the super hyped active bass sound. Of course it can play any style really, that's just what I found it most useful for. A couple of minor dings are pictured. Comes with a great case, I prefer it to my Mono one. And cleaning tools for the neck which is very satisfying to do once in a while - the neck does feel incredible particularly after a clean. You can hear this bass on the following recordings:- Take it Higher - Ashley Henry Synchronicity - Ashley Henry Who we Are - Ashley Henry Collection from London SE20 or UK delivery.

In nice condition from the early 90’s - sounds really good and plays really well. Solid Maple Body & bolt on maple neck (so that it can always be shimmed if necessary unlike the through neck version) + Indian Rosewood fingerboard, which has been treated with Fender Custom Shop oil. There are just a few light marks from normal use which look as they would polish out. Passive operation, so no pesky battery to worry about and no pre amp which I think can be temperamental? Licensed by Steinberger Bridge which seems to hold tune forever & the tuners turn freely. Although this is a 34” long scale Bass with a double octave neck, it feels more like a 32” medium scale Bass when playing - so great for noodling & limited spaces. It also has zero neck dive. Weight is a shoulder friendly 3.7Kg, or 8.15lbs in ‘old money’ Truss Rod is holding the action well and the action at the 12th fret is 1.5mm An even lower action may be possible if you are experienced in truss rod adjustment & lubrication etc as they always seem to be stiff on these basses. When fitted with my Status Bkack Nylon coated flatwounds which have less tension, the action measured just 1mm at the twelfth fret. Currently sporting an old set of Status Hot Wire medium? gauge round wound strings that sound great - l love ‘old’ strings. If you are too far away to collect in person, l can post to the U.K. Mainland only - sorry, via Parcelforce ExpressAM which should cost between £15.00 & £20.00 including insurance provided via Secursus.
