Hi there as you can see from nut width photo its slimmer than a 60s P. Also its relatively shallow front to back, not chunky. So I would say its kind of half way between a J and a 'regular P'.

Afraid one has to go, if only for financial reasons!

Doesn't everyone eat asparagus? 😁

The promised daylight pictures (with chrome covers reinstalled)

Here's some taken just now (night time with flash)

Proper daylight pics coming tomoz!

BTW, I can swap for a nearly new set of Pyramid Gold flats (which will last for years!) for old school thump and the bass comes with both chrome covers

Love this bass, keep coming back to look. I assume its this one from BassDirect, which has more pics to salivate over https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Serek_Midwestern_TV_Yellow.html

Well I do have 3 other basses (51P, Mustang, Alembic), 2 fretless basses and a double bass, so I will not be running out of options!

I really like this bass but I only need one Precision and I have decided to stick with my '51 CS. Plus the money would come in handy, so no trades. You will be hard pushed to find another surf green 70RI Precision in the UK. Good condition with a few little nicks and abrasions here and there, nothing major, and you can see there was once a circular sticker on the pickguard if you hold it up to the light (it's barely visible and I didn't notice it for weeks). Weighs a smidgeon over 9 pounds, plays very smoothly with hybrid coated EB nickel Slinkies on. Only has a soft gigbag but will be safely packed in bubble wrap and cardboard. £750 plus post in UK My NBD thread with pics I bought it from Gas Station Guitars at the start of May but the advert has disappeared (apologies I linked to another ad of theirs)... I will add more pictures of my bass on Sunday Addendum: Guitar Info Your guitar was made at the Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan in 1997 - 2000 Production Number: 92969

Lovely bass and nice playing! I have a '72 Mustang and these are fun instruments to play

Stunning bass that was made for me. Lovely and light (despite dense chocolatey cocobolo facing)and plays effortlessly. GLWTS Frank

Very good price, shame the seller is a Man Utd fan

Gorgeous. If only I could shift my Fender CS 51 Precision

Lovely bass. If I can move on my Fender CS 51P I may be in touch. In the mean time, have a bump!

Some more pics to show the excellent condition. PS, these are over £3k new (when you can find one). £3,147 here https://www.projectmusic.net/fender-custom-shop-vintage-custom-1951-precision-bass-22967-p.asp PPS, in case you were wondering from the pics, its currently in a Mono gigbag (as its easier to schlep around) but will be sold with its original tweed CS hard case

Bought on this forum in April for £2200 and basically the same condition etc, bar changed strings for 'old school' style Pyramid flatwounds (has tweed hard case, candy etc etc). Obviously not left the house in that time ... Original FS ad link here: I adore the looks and the history but - having given it a couple of months 'crack of the whip' - I just am not comfortable with the chunky neck over extended periods of playing (I prefer short/medium scale and my other Precision has a skinny 70's neck). I broke my left hand a decade ago and I cannot cope with clubbier necks, unfortunately, despite how lovely this bass is. Socially-distanced handover in SW13 (south of Hammersmith) or post for £30 on top within UK (£60 to EU). Pics below including two different 'tug bars', original maple and black dyed maple one courtesy of Rick's Fine '52 PS, no trades thanks. Kind of need the money given COVID impact on finances
