Hi Roger, can I ask where you got the scratch plate from? -
A photo from rehearsal this evening consisting of my Fender American Vintage 2 precision bass and 2008 Squier Classic Vibe Precision. Both fantastic basses and to be honest are closer to each other in feel, vibe and sound. The Av 2 has more bottom end whereas the classic vibe has a lovely vintage mid range to it but with a blindfold I’d be hard pushed to figure out which I was playing.

Lovely looking bass, cue the fender hating mob…..

Thanks Tony, this is also a part of the appeal and the fact I want one in this colour without the heaviness of the relicing of course! 😊

While I don’t disagree, these look to be affordable and decent quality but then you don’t hear me going round saying “another fan fret, multi string pile of metal/funk junk either” One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. I just despise paying ridiculous money for a Fender custom shop bass. Also the fact that I can order exactly what I want rather than having something off the shelf is appealing.

I’ll take that as you don’t own one then?

Hi Guys, I may be late to this but while looking at Vintage Fenders, considering building my own from parts I stumbled across this guy whose making them in a small village in the Rome province. They sound great in the videos and look great in the photos. Has anyone got any experience playing or own one? For the money, around £1000 they look like they could rival the likes of Limelight/Nash and the like. From what I can see Luca builds his own necks and bodies from milled wood rather than use/order in blanks.

I totally agree, the problem arises when people price and describe them as all original when they are far from being. It’s not a problem when they’re priced accordingly.

**SOLD** This one was quite short lived, after years of playing a precision I can’t tear myself away from them but thought it was worth a try. So for sale is my 2013 Fender American Jazz Bass finished in white. It’s in fantastic condition with very little in the way of marks/dents, I’ve found a tiny one and it’s only noticeable when you catch it in the right light on the rear edge - see photos. I’ve had this recently setup including a fret polish and a brand new set of Fender 45-105 Super 7250 bass strings and plays beautifully. It has a set of fender custom shop 60 Jazz pickups which came as standard and these are really smooth sounding. Comes with a hardcase, fender truss rod tool, hang tag and fender booklet. This is as clean as they come and has lived in its case. I’m willing to courier insured at cost to buyer if required but I’m also happy to meet halfway within a reasonable distance. Please message me beforehand if postage is outside UK Mainland - postage to Scotland/Ireland etc will cost more.-

It’s all good, I was looking to do a relic type build. If however you decide you don’t need the neck….let me know 😊

I was looking to do a self build but @Beedster beat me to that limelight neck 😂

Not affiliated with this but it’s on my watchlist, seems to tick most boxes. 1997 Fender USA PJ Precision Bass https://ebay.us/m/VI4bK2

I have noticed his prices creep up and go down on certain items, the black Gibson Ripper was £2395 yesterday and £2595 today.

Thanks Paul, it came up local and was too good to resist

So I’ve been looking at vintage fender basses as I’m hankering after one and this which isn’t vintage came up and was too good to pass up. Its a 2013 Fender American Jazz Bass in beautiful nick, lovely weight and sounds brilliant. I wasn’t looking for a Jazz but oh well 😂 The serial number amused me too, it ends in 6666. Had to include it in a photo with my AV60 Precision too!
