You are very welcome Douglas and I hope the restoration goes smoothly. It’s been a pleasure dealing with you. Hope we may yet meet one day! David

Ok, so after further information, this is definitely for a Precision Bass and a lovely original Custom Shop case it is. You can't buy these separately and they only come with custom shop basses, I think at a cost of around £300. I bought it thinking it would also fit a jazz bass, but now its pretty obvious with the neck support straight up the middle that it will only fit a P Bass - Doh !! The search for a Custom Shop Jazz case continues - meanwhile you P bass owners, get yourself a lovely hard case. I don't know, but suspect it is most suited to a 4 string P. PM me if you need more info.

Having listed this as potentially for a guitar, having checked dimensions on the web, I'm increasingly convinced (as a custom shop case) its made for a Precision Bass! I don't have a P bass, so if any of you P bass owners know the overall length of the standard P, and the width of the body at the widest point it would be great to hear from you. Cheers

Up for sale is a beautiful genuine Fender Custom Shop case for the Precision Bass For all intents and purposes it is new but this is one tiny mark you might just see in the last picture. All the locks work and the key is there too. internal dimensions width 32cm and 118cm to the bottom of the strap button. These dimensions are without "compressing" the bit in the middle designed to hold the body, so I think it would compress to give a width of 32.5/33cm. Can supply more dimensions on request. So if you have a custom shop Precision Bass and would like a hard case to match, this is for you. As the ordinary cases are £149 I reckon this Custom Shop version is a bargain. Looking to get back what I mistakenly paid for it as I thought it fitted Jazz basses - gutted !! Collection in Essex or Central London welcome .Can also ship at buyers cost. David

NOW £50 - Got this in a trade recently but unfortunately it doesn’t quite fit my unusually long Custom Shop bass - Schoolboy error! it’s a great quality SKB case like this one: https://www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/SKB-SCFB4-Electric-Universal-Bass-Soft-Case-EPS-Foam/ELO?_gl=1*1qyt8pj*_up*MQ..&gclid=CjwKCAiA1JGRBhBSEiwAxXblwSVNhfp-rXIFbHiI6SDGys3n9jDQtrt5nmoWktchEJoDhg0T-H7TwxoCZz0QAvD_BwE Pictured comfortably fitting my Shuker and my Marcus Miller US5 just fits, but my Reggie Hamilton 5 is a tight fit. Super lightweight plush interior with compartment, shoulder straps etc. like new condition. Don’t want to post but in Central London every week and can meet up round m25 anywhere between M1-Dartford Bridge Cheers Dave

I’ve come close to getting a Schecter over the last year. Very nice basses and I like the 35” scale in particular. Very few “Diamond P5s” about too.

😂Of course, how did I miss that!! 😂

Right, so the pickguard is back from www.tinytone, and I decided to get a Black Pearl as well as Black - so which do my fellow basschatters think looks best? And also a purely gratuitous photo of "Reggie & Marcus" - always interesting how "perfect" Marcus looks here, when in fact he is covered in little dings, scratches etc. The other things I've recently noticed since Reggie arrived is that he's got 22 frets compared to MM's 21 and also the bridge is mounted a little further forward on the body. Tonally of course they are chalk and cheese with MM having bass and treble "boost only" and pickup volume/volume, whereas Reggie has 3 band cut/boost and a volume/pickup pan. Both have active/passive switching and passive tone. Anyway, send in your votes for the pickguard choice! (I'm leaning towards the black pearl....!)

ha ha !! Well I’ll post pics with both when I get them back then we can have a vote!!! Ok the weight - a bit of digging around the web and it is probably; · “Lightweight modified select alder body. Sculpted Heel for easier access to upper frets”
-
Balsa?!? 😂 probably swamp ash though!
-
Cheers Laurence - I'm delighted with it and can't wait to try the black pickguard. Hope you're keeping ok. Dave

Yes, very light indeed - don't know why! - I try and seek out the lighter stuff. My Marcus Miller 5er is a respectable 4.1kg Sadly I did have to pay duty - but I had factored that into what I paid. Duty was the "standard" 20% and charged by the UPS courier (who I know far too well now!!) when he arrived at my front door - paid it by cheque!! It seems at the moment that sellers in Europe have to declare the value of the item for customs duty purposes although courier firm MBE (who I rate highly) said this was only if the value was over €1,000. Some people might think it mad to declare the actual value, but I try and "do the right thing" until the stupidity of charging VAT on secondhand goods ends !!
