Heat with Deniro and Pacino great film and fantastic soundtrack particularly like the Moby track

I google searched birdseye maple and flamed maple and I am still of the opinion its birdseye but it also as some flaming if that helps. Either way its fabulous looking

Sorry we don't own any scales, it is lighter than both of my precisions and lighter than my 3EQ Stingray if that helps!

bump

It is actually a creamier colour in the flesh, the flash makes it look too white in the photos, but it has been over cast all day here.

PM'd

now with additional photos

Thanks for that. Cheers Paul.

I'm a massive Lizzy fan, I have a huge amount of there recorded output, been a fan since I was a 14 year old, I am 54 later this year, saw them In their twilight years in Germany with Snowy White and saw them again after Phil had died with John Skyes and the great Marco Mendoza. Hardly a week go's by without me playing at least one of their albums. The boys are back I town is still my favourite song ever.

All the customisation was done before I got the bass, I really like it, but I have too many basses for my needs. I did post recently about returning this to its original format, but, the concenus was that it was not worth it, hence it and my "spare" Stingray being for sale.

Now with more and better photos. Cheers Paul.

No sorry, this is how I bought it. Cheers Paul.

FS/FT my 2004 Stingray in excellent condition white/cream body and maple neck/fretboard. This is the 3 EQ version but with a Aquilar OPB 3 preamp and mid push/pull boost/cut control this really adds to the sound of the MM. Te rear of the bass holds the two battery packs for the 18v preamp. The bass also has the original, mint condition MM logo'd hard case. There is a tiny indentation in the finish by the jack socket on the edge but it is really small, pin head sized and two even smaller indentations on the bottom side of the scratch plate all are so small it is difficult to photograph.This bass sounds and looks amazing. Ideally I would like a cash sale as I am trying to reduce my collection but I am open to trades but only 4 strings, the worst I can say is a polite no thanks. Anyone requiring further photos just PM me. I am looking to trade up for a 1970's Precision I have cash available.

For sale or trade my 1973 Fender Precision in natural ash. The neck was originally a (rare) fretless maple but has since been professionally fretted, the side dots are on the fret lines. The ash body has precision and jazz Bartolini pick ups and has been routed with a larger cavity for the Bartolini NTMB 918F preamp. As can be seen from the photos the bass has Precision version of the Marcus Miller bass type vibe. There is a battery pack cover on the back of the body to house the twin (18v) batteries for the preamp. The bass is in great condition for a 37 year old, the neck is in fabulous condition and the body has natural wear and "crazing" to the finish. Open to trade offers but only 4 stings please, I have cash available if you want to trade down. Will be sold with a hard shell case. Anyone requiring further photos let me.

Signed

Just to clarify, I already have a great punchy active in my Stingray classic and the classic P will soon be covered, I already have a 79 P and am currently awaiting delivery of some Labella flats

thanks for the responses guys.

Hi folks, I wonder if I can utilise your extensive knowledge. I have a 1978 ash bodied, maple neck Fender Precision in natural, when I bought it, it had/has a formerly fretless maple neck that was subsequently fretted (not by me), the side dots are where the frets are.
The body has had a Jazz pick up fitted and this and the p pick up are Bartolini active pick ups, a NTMP - 918F set this obviously required the routing for the jazz, making the controls cavity larger and routing on the back for two 9v batterys. Now the whole vibe of the bass is that of a vintage Precision version of the Marcus Miller bass, the layout of controls and scratch plate are virtually the same.

I however, have at long last realised that my needs are just a simple one passive pick up bass. now I really like the neck, although the dots confuse me! and body colour/wear on the body but don't like the rest, even though it sounds awesome.

Eventually we get to the dilemma bit, do I/can I get the cavitys filled and still retain the same body finish or would it need refinishing to cover up the work. Has anyone any experience of this sort of work? likely costs? can show examples etc. Or should I just sell/trade and get a normal Precision?

I will post photos when I work out how to!
