New Spitfire Pickguard on my 64 Precision..!
Raslee replied to chrisanthony1211's topic in General Discussion
That's yummy. Where from? How much? -
These basses need little introduction and are totally superb P basses in my opinion punching way above their weight. This one is up for sale/trade with a heavy heart but I need to sell on to fund some upgrades to my other basses that I regularly gig with. This bass comes as standard plus the additional upgrades of a tort guard (original anodized gold plate also included) and a hipshot D-tuner (original tuner included). Stock pic (actual pics below): The Fender 50s Precision Bass Features:[list] [*]Body: Alder [*]Neck: 1-Piece Maple, "C" Shape, (Gloss Urethane Finish) [*]Fingerboard: Maple, 7.25" Radius (184 mm) [*]No. of Frets: 20 Vintage Style Frets [*]Pickups: 1 Precision Bass Split Single-Coil Pickup (Mid) [*]Controls: Volume, Tone [*]Pickup Switching: None [*]Bridge: American Vintage Precision®/Jazz® Bass [*]Machine Heads: Vintage Style Reverse Tuning Machines [*]Hardware: Nickel/Chrome [*]Pickguard : Gold Anodized Aluminum [*]Scale Length: 34" (863.6 mm) [*]Width at Nut: 1.750" (44.5 mm) [*]Unique Features: Vintage Styling, Anodized Aluminum Pickguard, Synthetic Bone Nut [*]Strings: Fender Super Bass 7250ML, NPS, [*]Gauges: (.045, .065, .080, .100) [*]Accessories: Deluxe Gig Bag included [/list] This bass was around £850 last year and is pretty much immaculate, I still have the receipt somewhere and the upgrades were around an extra £100. It's mainly been the home/studio bass and the tone is to die for, best P tone i've ever had to be honest. I'm looking for bargain £550 as standard or [b]£650[/b] with upgrades + courier costs (around £20 or less in the UK or collect from South Devon UK). or Trades are very specific (plus cash my way): John East Pre Uni deluxe 4 knob and/or a 5 knob version...ideally with all the knobs. Aguilar 4J-60 pick ups (4string jazz) Aguilar Supersingle D2 5 string (P2 size) pickups ....may at a push consider something like a Squier CV P bass and at least £450 my way.

Fender Classic 50s P or the Roger Waters model?
Raslee replied to fretmeister's topic in Bass Guitars
The ROg W has the Quater pounder pick up IIRC. Quite a hot and rock tone, very fat. I now own a Classic 50's and it's pretty damn good, the tone and pick up is classic old P. Having tried both I'd pick the classic every time - it's quite a funky old school beasty and despite usually preferring a jazz width neck I've actually bonded quite well with the shallow cricket bat. Great P's -

[quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1486757551' post='3234429'] Update us ? I quite fancy one myself [/quote] Well I guess you'll need to make your own mind up, but 6.5/10 for me - would have liked less custard although it's not terrible - it'll go on my MiM 50's Classic P with a few extra holes. Edges look good/aged (coffee?) - pics https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0OGAfJVYGa5ILA

Have ordered one

Having recently done a trade with Grant, my Lakland for his Musicman, I can honestly say he is a true gent, trustworthy, and clearly one of Basschat's good one's...buyers & sellers will have no issues here, great communications throughout, and a real pleasure to deal with from start to finish

Sold! Hipshot BT1 X-tender

Wow, what a bargain! I have one these without the upgrades and they are worth every penny. Having been through a lot of P's over the years the 50's is the best I've played. I think some people have reservations about being Mexican but I can assure buyers these are top quality players and the quality is astounding. Someone will get a great Precision bass here

Wandering grub screw or Poltergeist - Fender 50's P.
Raslee replied to Raslee's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1485685673' post='3225728'] Where are the BBOT fans to tell us that this never happens and it's the greatest invention ever? "Slap a Badass on it!". [/quote] The man has a point -
I did frantically google to see if such a solution existed such as an adjustable alternative bridge. But as others have mentioned I don't think it would work with the neck. I thought I would get used to the 17mm with persistence but I've admitted defeat. Anyhow I've had a lot of interest via Facebook so it looks like it'll be a happy ending, and I have a 19mm fiver lined up via here, but if Ernie Ball ever do bring out a 19mm SR5 I think I would find it hard to resist as they really are pretty awesome basses [color=#ff0000][size=6][font=georgia,serif]NOW SOLD VIA FB[/font][/size][/color]

Wandering grub screw or Poltergeist - Fender 50's P.
Raslee replied to Raslee's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1485644404' post='3225612'] They do that sometimes. Just use a bit of loctite threadlock or something similar on it. [/quote] cheers...sounds like a trip out to B&Q -
Got one of those wonderful Mex Fender 50's Precision's a while back and I have to say I'm really impressed with it - even adapting to the chunky neck, perfect P tone IMO. However, when i pick it up for a little spanking having been hung up for a few days I find the G string buzzing on the neck. Now that isn't a line from a porno but a freaky experience where a single bridge saddle screw is winding itself loose and automatically adjusting the action. I've adjusted the height several times now only to find it's wound itself down the next day. Now as a professional mental health worker by day I often associate the paranormal with a large percentage of my caseload, and I've learned many years ago that superstition really is just a great grooving funk tune. But guys do I need to call the Ghostbusters and if so has anyone got their number? Thread shot perhaps? (not this one i hasten to add), any ideas you lovely bunch ?

SOLD/Traded via Facebook Really gutted to be moving this on so soon after a recent trade here on Basschat but I'm really not getting on with the 17.5mm string spacing, I've tried for hours on end but it isn't happening . It really is a superb bass in every way apart from the spacing for me, i love the feel, tone etc - i'm so gutted but a 19mm is clearly what i need. Original sales add: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/298097-ebmm-musicman-stingray-5-honeyburstmaple/"]http://basschat.co.u...oneyburstmaple/[/url], and Jack the original seller is a top chap too - hope you don't mind me using the photos mate Can courier at cost from Plymouth, Devon. May consider trades and cash my way if necessary; particularly like P's, J's, Musicmen ,Stingrays and quirky basses, no six's though please and 5's must be 19mm string spacing. Could add a little cash for a 70's P , or 70's stingray perhaps. It's priced to sell at £975, previous owner who has had it since new had it up at £1100 so grab a bargain - although trading up i'd value it around £1100 towards something. Also includes MM case. Not really interested in sub £400 basses, Squiers or Mex Fenders, or any heavy metal esq basses, or even basses over 10lb's, neither i am into heavy amps/gear .
