I’m having the same issue in the Accessories and Other… marketplace 🤷🏻♂️

Cheers guys. The market seems so down at the moment. For the last few months I’ve had a great Stratocaster for sale at a really good price and it’s not shifting either, yet would have flown out the door much quicker last year I reckon. Luckily I’m not financially desperate for a sale, but it’s a real pr*ck tease having a bass here that I love to bits but find too hard to play 😤😂

FS: Fender American Vintage II 1960 Precision Bass £1500 - *SOLD*

Sept update: Due to a pending house move the bass is now in storage in Berkshire, so it will be a while until it is bumped again, I may bump it now and again though. But please direct message me if you find this advert and you’re interested. £2750 ono- The price on the listing was for when this was a trade only advert. It’s a 1964 Relic, 1 of 30 made for 2009 release, this one was made in 2008. I have the spec sheet if you need it. Weighs 8.98lbs / 4.08kg, great balance, very comfortable C shape neck and of course a killer tone. It’s not one of the thicker C shapes that some of the later ones have - this bass uncannily feels just like my old original 64. All original aside from the tone pot, which is now a series/parallel push/pull switch, gives you an extra fat tone option and loses nothing from the original. Original case and covers too. No trades please - cash needed for the new home! Unfortunately collection only at this moment. Cheers

I didn’t think it should matter how many pickups you have, would be surprised if so, but some folk will have better knowledge of that. Worth looking at John East preamps, I’ve had a couple of his and they’ve been excellent IMO. You can contact him too for advice, nice guy.

To be fair, Fender never made it easy given their methods 👍

This is from a ‘72 from Mr Baxter… Not sure the books always get it right 👍
-
I’d be surprised if it was fake, there are some out there without the (r) E.g early 70s … maybe CBS were too tight to pay for the extra mark 😂
-
Definitely do-able 👍 A tone control for the passive option may be helpful too. And if you really want to max out your options, depending on the pickups, you could add series/parallel switch, or coil split switch.

Your Top 10 Favorite (not best) Bass Players

Woah… zombie thread revival 🧟♀️🧟🧟♂️ One of my first threads I think - was selling some 60s Fenders and wanted to get stuck into BC… joined 10 years ago this month, it’s been expensive 😂 -
Your Top 10 Favorite (not best) Bass Players

Agreed The original post was for your favourites, not necessarily ‘best’. -
Haha! Looking forward to seeing what you think. The A string action height might need raising btw, depends what you have on, but I often find it needs a tweak. Enjoy!

100% my fave on a Jazz (and anything else probably!) They definitely change in nature as they age so maybe see how it goes if you start off unsure. IMO they start great and just get better, getting warmer and smoother after a bit of aging.
