ON HOLD

Sold a Precision to Pete, terrific guy and a credit to basschat buyers! Deal with confidence  Cheers Pete!

This is a bargain with the lower gain valves - I love mine but it does indeed go to super high gain immediately, so I'm tempted to try swapping too!

Have a bump and GLWTS.

A pinch and a BUMP for the first day of the month

The 'Fender Original' that they list has sometimes been called the '62 Re-issue' model. They are the vintage tone P pups I have always bought.

BAX have them at £61 [url="https://www.bax-shop.co.uk/bass-pickups/fender-precision-bass-original-vintage-design-pickups"]https://www.bax-shop...-design-pickups[/url]

+1, I used these on a 79 P and a Classic 50s P, fantastic results. Seemed to capture a fuller range than the stock pups they replaced.

-5 degrees outside bump

Being a blinkered metal fan of the 80s I loathed slap - until I saw this.

I can blag a passable version of it, but really need to give time to the terrific Scott Devine tutorials (especially 'Hair'!)

Hi Keith - what was the setup at the venue, was it floor or hollow stage? I've noticed a big difference between 2x112s at home and on a stage...also (maybe my hearing) but competing with the other 6 in our band, I've been unhappy with the stage sound, but have been told it was loud, clear and sizzling out front. Maybe try cutting the bass and increasing high mids and treble when your at battle volume, or DIing to PA and just have high mids/highs through the PA and staying flat for your stage setup.

Cheers from another '71!
Kev

Good to have you aboard mate. Heard good things about Maine!

All valve bump

Now sold, thanks for all the interest!

I loved my old GP7SM 130 combo, especially when paired with a TE 2x10. I once went for a practice in the garage, only to find one of my cats stuck to the cab's carpet from clawing it! They hadn't accounted for that frequency on the EQ, I can tell you

Class D: If you see a Tecamp Puma in the Basschat classifieds, then they are well worth a try. I gigged mine with a P and just a twiddle of the 'Taste' control got me from Motown thump to rock grit very nicely.

[b]For sale: 1979 Fender Precision bass , £900[/b]
[b]No trades thanks [/b]




[b]About the bass:[/b]
Fender Precision Bass, 1979, in Olympic White nitro refinish, purchased from fellow Basschatter Roland Rock (original sales thread here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/273071-%26-127928%3Bsold-1979-precision-bass%26-127928%3B/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] )

Weight is a meaty 11.28 lbs, but it balances very well - I've played two hour gigs with no fatigue (well, not on the shoulders, at least!)

41mm at nut

Since I bought it:
The bass has been gigged approx. 5 times, with some minor scuffs added (see 'cosmetic condition' below).

I swapped out the original pickups and wiring loom for Fender Original Precision Bass pups, CTS pots and Switchcraft jack. The original pickups, pots, loom, knobs and thumbrest are also included in case you want to swap them back.

[b]Playing condition:[/b]
Full working order, new pots make the pups very responsive to tone changes. The maple neck is beautifully played in, fastest Precision neck I've used.

Heard to good* effect here: [media]http://youtu.be/SEwq58WvoWw[/media]

(*'good' here means the tone, not necessarily my playing )

[b]Cosmetic condition[/b]
Some horn scuffs, a scuff halfway down the pickguard side edge and a small scuff on the back. Edges of fingerboard have 'ring rash' which has worn off the edge varnish. See the hi-res Flickr album which also includes shots of the original loom and pickups: [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/133089969@N07/albums/72157676876673595"]https://www.flickr.c...157676876673595[/url]

Still available?

Yes, it is

Nice pair! What month is the 4001? Notice it's sporting the 1-inch spaced neck pup - from memory, this occurred mid-75.
[/quote]

Cheers! April '75. I have no idea if that's the correct spacing though, the original (oversized?!) pickguard is long gone. Looking at the neck pickup cavity it could have originally been closer to the end of the fingerboard. The P is a '79 from Basschat, fantastic tone

'75 4001 and a black guard P here - but on an Oly White

My son has the short scale version which sounds, and plays, fantastic GLWTS

Not used them on a Squier, but my old MIM P (2005 I think) was fine with the heavy gauge La Bella '54 set.

Bump for a great video, really enjoyed that! GLWTS, seems a terrific bass

All valve Bump

Indeed! Weekend BUMP
