  1. Thanks is a real gem of a burst
  2. Probably they are too embarrased to offer a low ball price Lawrie after making a profit from it initially...
  3. Thanks Pete, she did turn out well
  4. Bought another set of strings from David, smooth and quick as always and a pleasure doing business... Thanks David Brian
  5. Reduced to £2200 for a quick sale 1975 Fender Precision in 3 tone Sunburst You will be hard pushed to find a 75 Precision with the colours as vibrant as this one with no fading So how is this so you may ask, well it was sprayed over in nitro black in the late seventies and luckily whoever done it did not rub down the original finish. When I got it I was able to see the original finish below the black where you would rest your arm so I painstakingly removed the black a bit at a time and was able to save the original finish, as you can see it turned out pretty good and leaving the marks that the checked black finish had made which looks pretty cool The maple neck has the usual flaking of the varnish on the side of the board, not uncommon. This has been gently rubbed down on the side to flatten it out so you wont feel the roughness on the fretting hand, the back is as smooth and easy to play, sort of a satin finish Frets are in good condition with plenty of life left Tuners turn nice and smoothly Nut width 40mm Truss rod turns both ways with ease Good decent action with some room to lower if needed Weight is just under 4.6Kg's Pots are dated 74, pickups dated 75 The scratchguard is a period correct replacement, original had been replaced when it was sprayed Just the bridge cover Currently strung with flats, probably explains the condition of the frets The bass has been loved and played as can be seen by the neck, no damage to the body Hopefully I have covered everything but fire away if you have any questions
  6. And without the guard
  7. Yep, he contacted me about one I was selling a few weeks back..
  8. I requested he take the guard off....
  9. And the neck pickup rout...
  10. Totally agree, the chap is trying to get back what he paid retail, the shops profit added to what they paid for it initially, I don’t want to be victim that pays the profit as it will be very hard to get back if I decided to sell it on down the line.
  11. Good idea Chris
  12. Sure does Chris, it was bought off Will at Bassbros
  13. Some pics sennt by the seller with the neck off..
  14. Bank holiday price drop to £1150
  15. Aye, too much sun is bad for you Paul 😎
  16. The back end of it
  17. Thanks Rob, Hopefully he gets back with some detailed pics..
  18. Ive just sent him a message about it and to see if he can send me more detailed pics, seen a lot of old Fenders myself and have never come across this before
