There’s plenty on here and elsewhere about how good these things are. I’m a bit gutted at moving it on truth be told, but my left shoulder has recently become a lot more knackered than it was and I’m finding shorties a lot easier and more comfortable to play. As a result this just isn’t getting used of late and that’s unlikely to change unfortunately. Ive had it a couple of years (picked it up via BC) and it’s only had occasional rehearsal room use so it’s in great nick. I’ve switched the knobs out as these look cooler, but the originals are in the case and will be supplied too. Comes in a Gator case that’s both perfectly functional and necessary! Think the RRP for these is at nearly £700 now and the cases an extra ton. Moving it on at the price I paid (as I remember) in the spirit of BC. Not looking for trades on this though. I haven’t got a box to accommodate this and wouldn’t really want to post anyway I’m afraid so will have to limit to collection or fairly local meet-up for now. I’m located just by j7 of the M6. Cheers.

I’ll chime in on that as I’ve had one since the mid-90s. It’s a photographic film (hence Foto Flame) that was applied onto a (typically) Alder body. They weren’t around for long as the finishes often cracked, as mine did. I think I’m right in saying that, in terms of spec, they were a ‘62 reissue. Apols for geeking out, but I always get excited when I see a Foto Flame Precision. They’re not widely loved it seems, but I’ve found mine to be my favourite Precision I’ve ever played. It’s certainly the only bass I’ve ever kept for that length of time. GLWTS to the OP!
