1982 Fullerton Fender 57 Precision Bass - TRADE ***SOLD***
CBbass replied to CBbass's topic in Basses For Sale
[quote name='bassgurumonster' timestamp='1333016957' post='1596155'] Hi mate, what do you value the bass at? [/quote] Well I wouldn't let it go for less than £1000 -
[i][u][b]***SOLD***[/b][/u][/i] Putting this back up but for trade only. [b]I can offer up to £500ish with this bass[/b], so don't think yourself cheeky to ask for money on my behalf for your bass! Not after anything in particular. It's a first year 57 year 1982 Fullerton made Precision bass. [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm sure some of you might know these are the first year vintage reissues and can go for as much as some custom shop models. They may be CBS, but they are held in high regard with quality - they are said to have been made with the tools used on the original basses, also some of the original team were still around when they made these. There are a lot of threads on talkbass about this specific year and model so if you are unsure then I'd suggest checking over there.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Every part on this bass is unmodified and original. It has been gigged by what I am told the second owners grandfather, I am the third owner. All wear is natural wear and tear.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The neck pocket is amongst the tightest I've seen on a fender bass in person. The neck is fine though it needs a proper setup which I'm not capable of. All the electronics work perfectly. It is very light at [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]7.5lbs. neck date is [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]11/12/82 (pics included). There are a few slight bumps are paint chips as to be expected. The nitro finish has sunk in nicely to the wood, there is some buckle rash on the back. the knobs have some chrome come off from what I assume is sweat.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I have seen/read the plasic wiring is correct for some first years, the neck written in pencil is also. With some googling I'm sure you can find this. I can get more pics on request. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]strings are dr hi beams I think 45s.[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]I have bought 2 items, sold 1 bass from this website, proof can be given.[/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828][/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]MORE PICS INCLUDING GUTS AND NECK STAMP IN LINKS.[/font][/color] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-90710900-1330372428.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372428.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-88697800-1330372434.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372434.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-22540200-1330372443.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372443.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-57466400-1330372449.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372449.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-96706000-1330372453.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372453.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-54406400-1330372461.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372461.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-50493900-1330372467.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372467.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-89744600-1330372474.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372474.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-72753500-1330372481.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372481.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-75521900-1330372787.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372787.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-18880300-1330372799.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372799.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-39961000-1330372807.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372807.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-78985600-1330372814.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372814.jpg[/url] [url="http://basschat.co.uk/uploads/monthly_02_2012/post-19673-0-85307300-1330372822.jpg"]http://basschat.co.u...-1330372822.jpg[/url]

I'd look into a MIJ Jazz or perhaps some Ibanez. I'm pretty useless with Ibanez models though. I'm sure some people here know far more than I do!

Project cancelled, I don't have the money anymore as something came up. I'll be trading/selling my current bass (only bass) to get something closer to what I want. Thanks for the interest guys!

How exactly do you trade a bass through basschat?
CBbass replied to CBbass's topic in General Discussion
Thanks for the replies. [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1332758874' post='1592528'] Its your call. You can send them on trust. When I traded here, I met the guy, we both tried hte basses out and exchanged but there are other ways if the distances are prohibitive. Use the feedback section to see if someone has traded before and it may put your mind at rest. Most people here are cool and its only gone horribly wrong a few times and we have been able to intervene to resolve the situation. But, in a nutshell, it is up to you to make sure you only take risks you are prepared for. [/quote] Are you able to tell me what happened and how they were resolved? Thanks -
So I've had a few offers for a bass I have and am probably going to end up trading it, possibly with their or my cash to make up for a price difference; depending on which deal I take. However, I'm not really sure how trades work exactly, do you both agree to send your bass to each other in good faith and hope they don't scam you? I looked for a guide on this but couldn't find one which was surprising based on the amount of trades which go on. I would really appreciate it if anyone could explain how to safely trade. Some people may have good feedback, but I'm a little worried about sending a valuable instrument to them, regardless of what their feedback may be. Apologies if I used the wrong forum! Thanks.

I didnt put it up, had a busy week and it was the last thing I felt like doing. -
[quote name='lozbass' timestamp='1332144814' post='1583740'] Recent, expensive folly has taught me that anything other than short-scale is useless for me. If this were not the case, I'd grab this bass immediately - I really can't believe it's still here. One of Fender's finest. [/quote] Thanks

Pickups I would replace and a yucky colour! No thanks .

Someone buy this bargain of a mexican p bass
CBbass replied to kevbass's topic in eBay - Weird and Wonderful
Mint condition though -
[quote name='BB2000' timestamp='1332098704' post='1583281'] I think you'd be better off shoving it on ebay and ship abroad (I sold one of mine last year for £1800 - and there were lots of bidders). [/quote] Thanks, I think so too. It may be that some people here after P basses don't know how much of a gem these are, I'm honestly surprised this hasn't gone but I need the money now... I didn't when I first listed this. Going to put this on ebay for £1200 tomorrow.

price drop £900.

Basschat, EBay, Gumtree, Musicradar.

Nice bass, I always liked his natural finished one. Not keen on LED's on any bass though.

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1331833680' post='1579699'] Ah so. Yes that seems more like it. Still, bet you can't wait to get hold of the bits and start building eh? The two bits of wood should bolt together easily enough. If you haven't had the bridge holes drilled you might want to get some help with the positioning of that though. WD Music are pretty good for scratchplates over here! It'll be gorgeous when its done though [/quote] Thanks man, I absolutely can't wait until the parts start to arrive. I've been planning this think for about a year and a half. I've always known generally what it will be but I'm always changing my mind regarding things such as tuners, bridges and logo etc. The neck and body joints are pre drilled so that will be very easy to put together. I've managed to source parts for the entire bass which will be all nickel, the hardest part was finding nickel barrel knobs. Thankfully Gotoh make them. I've heard that the Warmoth finish, whilst not nitro, is very thin and will sink into the wood nicely after a few years. Of course I doubt I'll ever "relic" like roadworns but I don't really care about body wear. I am however chosing nickel so it will age slightly; by personal preference I like it more than chrome. I've actually had a WD music tort before, whilst it was very, very nice like the old Fender tort. The fit couldn't have been more off. I would order off them again though for a tort, however I'm going for mint green this time. It will be a fender made one for american standards. I've been told by warmoth the guard will fit no problem . I find the Warmoth mint green a little strong for my taste.

[quote name='brensabre79' timestamp='1331829972' post='1579623'] Wow! Every time I've gone on their website and spec'd up a neck its run to at least $500. How did you get so cheap? [/quote] Ah, I misread it. It'll be around £850 after charges.

I pretty much know how to put together a bass in theory, I have never done anything remotely like it though and I don't want to screw up such expensive parts.
-
I wish more USA stores would include overseas charges on checkout, I know Amazon have done it for orders I've done which was nice.
-
this is going on ebay Sunday if there's no takers. Will be putting it up for the original price. Bump, anyway.

I might try this logo instead [url="http://www.warmoth.com/Warmoth-Decal-with-Turtle-Logo-P75C219.aspx"]http://www.warmoth.com/Warmoth-Decal-with-Turtle-Logo-P75C219.aspx[/url] I wouldn't be adding the turtle however. I think it looks pretty nice.

[quote name='chilievans' timestamp='1331710544' post='1577384'] Sounds great mate. How much will it cost with import tax? [/quote] Around £150 for the Warmoth parts.
