[quote name='DDR' timestamp='1489488249' post='3257299'] Great basses these, I love mine [/quote] Yes I know I'll regret it, and will probably own another when funds permit. I much prefer this to my mates USA P too, the tone is very 'vintage'

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.

One ticket sold, one left for £15...grab it quick

[color=#ff0000][size=8]ALL SOLD[/size][/color] Gutted, childcare arrangements have fallen through and it's proving to be a logistical nightmare for me so I am sadly putting up my tickets for sale - 4th & 5th March Olympia Conference center.

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

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]

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 .

Thanks for all the lovely comments guys, yes this one is quite special but it isn't sadly getting used as much as it should...in fact i've moved over to the darkside and mostly playing P's & 5's Anyhow, with further adieu she is now on hold for Rumble.....the neck may still be available however

SOLD The MJT body, is essentially an aged 60's Olympic white with superb checking etc - very authentic and i should think so for nearly £360 and then import duties from the states- swamp ash and simply brilliant attention to relic detail. The neck is an All Parts (Licensed by Fender), with a tinted headstock over the decal to look aged - like the typical late 60's/70's jazz. The neck is really smooth and a pleasure to play. Pick ups are Fender Pure Vintage 74's - total Marcus Miller and are very good - do your research!!!. It has 70's style genuine Fender tuners and a hipshot D-tuner. BBOT bridge. Fender S1 controls/CTS pots etc. Tort plate 60's style...may have alternative scratchplates if preferred. No expense spared on this bass and it easily owes me a lot more than the price i have it up at. On par, if not better than Limelights that have passed my way, action is very low and it's a great sounding bass from warm vintage to probably the best slap tone i've heard...not that i play much slap however. Selling as it's simpley more of a wall decoration, i tend to play my Vanderend jazz and i don't really need two jazzes. Would entertain trades for a 5 string with 19mm spacing i.e. Lakland 5501 or similar, or possibly sterling ray34 CA or could add cash for a cheapish Stingray 4. Can courier for cost or meet in Devon More pics upon request: [attachment=236696:IMG_4220.JPG] [attachment=236697:IMG_4229.JPG] [attachment=236681:IMG_3438.jpg] [attachment=236693:IMG_3438.jpg]
