BB2000

Is that two screw holes between the pickups? Was there a thumrest fitted at some point?

[quote name='Hutton' timestamp='1317284003' post='1388907'] Is this definitely for sale only? [/quote] Yes, I'm afraid cash rules at the moment.

It looks like I'm going to be unable to hold on to this, so she's back up for sale only. First Shuker I've had, but I don't think it'll be the last.

Autumn bump.

Apologies to those who have already PM'd me, but I'm withdrawing this for the moment to think a little bit more about whether I need a jazz.

Top class build quality - ash body, graphite reinforced neck, dual action truss rod and the Villex 4-position passive mid control boost (which surprisingly seems to be pretty useful). Immaculate condition with Shuker (hiscox) case. This is as good as any jazz I've played at any price point. No trades - a straight sale only at £799+shipping

[quote name='gareth' post='1366834' date='Sep 8 2011, 07:16 PM']They are rare things and not properly understood but having had both fullerton and the later non-fullerton reissues i can vouch for the facts that the fullerton reissues tend to be lighter, more resonant and more carefully contoured. They deserve their reputation but are notoriosuly difficult to identfy/verify - the serial number is an indication but cannot be fully relied on and neither can the pot dates as later non-fullerton reissues will often have fullerton period pots, and you really need to see neck and body dates and markings, ascertain whether there is a router hump, etc Thats not to say that there are not good examples of non-fullerton reissues - i have a 62 reissue which is light and resonant. Confusing eh?[/quote] Once you've handled one you can spot an early 80's '57 fullerton reissue a mile off. It's body countouring is unlike any other fender (including the original '57).

Withdrawn, no serious interest.

Don't listen to the voices Chris... Try a foil lined hat - works for me!

Peter, what's the string spacing up at the nut end (and the neck width)? Also, how would you describe the neck depth? (I'm still enjoying your old Oly AV '62, but am thinking about giving a 5 stringer a go.)

Damn that's one ugly bass. It's so horrible I keep visiting the thread to stare at it.

Bump for more photos.

Bump for price reduction. [quote name='gareth' post='1346896' date='Aug 21 2011, 07:57 AM']hi can you tell us what the serial number is please also have you got any photos of the bass with the neck and guard off showing the markings in the neck and control and pup cavities, also photos of the neck butt, pots, pups?[/quote] Hello Gareth - I'm pressed for time to do a strip down atm, give me a week or two. I can guarantee that it is completely legit though, as I disassembled it and did a thorough check when I bought it. I'm pretty sure neck date is 6/83 but will confirm later. Do you think you've spotted something amiss?

All original Fender USA 1983 Fullerton Reissue Precision '57 in great condition. A very resonant lightweight bass. With Fender tolex H/C.
