Lot of love for the tort pickguard on here. It's genuine Fender. I'll part with it for an additional £15 if that seals the deal for someone

CS '62 pickup that I was offering with it has now sold - just bass left

Hi all, having done some research on what Vinteras have gone for on here (as opposed to what they're on for on Ebay etc), I've dropped it for the final time. Definitely can't afford to go lower than this and think this is an absolute bargain for a phenomenal Vintera P. I've doubled my feedback from one to two! Here it is below. I'll keep bumping it a little while longer but it's soon or never. Thanks for the interest!

Thanks BassAdder. Not seeing them elsewhere for anywhere near that price, on Reverb, eBay etc they're going for between £580 and £800 hence my price. I think that's reasonable for one in mint condition and with the offer of a Custom Shop p'up too. I won't be at all gutted to keep it if it doesn't go all in time, just £50 lost on a deposit and a missed chance to get the Am professional roasted maple Daphne Blue PJ bass (which was always my dream bass when they were released). I can very happily live with this though if it doesn't go (I meant it when I said my fav p bass so far!)

Price dropped as this needs to go soon. This is in mint condition! P.m. with an offer - strictly sale only please! Also forgot to link to my (albeit limited) feedback - here it is. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/438104-feedback-for-manchesterwill/#comment-4239766

Back t' top! Should add that it comes with the Fender gig bag and I can arrange courier via Parcelforce with relative ease if buyer is willing to add the cost of postage to their offer

Hi all. Thanks for the interest so far - few trade offers already. This is strictly for sale though as I already have a new bass on hold for me. Nbpartnership - yes maybe I'm shooting myself in the foot here as the nut width is large but neck is flat. Not one for zooming around the fretboard but lovely to play. Bassadder60 - thanks for pointing this out and I should say there are 3 new holes drilled underneath the anodised pickguard (very cleanly!) to accommodate a 13-hole pickguard.

PRICE DROPPED TO SELL £500 MINT CONDITION Fender Vintera 50s Precision in beautiful Sea Foam Green. My favourite P bass I've ever owned (and I've had a handful over the years)! *Update* So I initially priced the bass based on what I could see of Vintera Ps on Reverb, Ebay etc. Based on some comments here, a little research into Vinteras that have gone on here, and the need to sell it very soon, I've dropped the price significantly. This will be the absolute final price drop; I can't go any lower! It won't be around for loads longer and I won't be devastated to hold on to it; I absolutely love this bass. It's just this is my best shot at buying my dream bass - a Ltd edition PJ I've found second hand and have a deposit on. Please note the Custom Shop '62 pickup is now sold. Bass: Bought in summer 2020, only played a couple of times outside the house and very well looked after. In mint condition. Simple, classic and beautiful in its pastel green (photos of these basses often look blue but they're greener in the flesh). I've included a photo with a tort pickguard which I had on - I will be keeping the pickguard but SFGreen/ tort looks amazing and I wanted to show it off too. Neck is the old-school 44mm width at the nut, but I've found it comfortable to play and have picked this one up again and again. Nice vintage tint to the neck but not at all sticky. Really hard to put down once you start playing. Selling because we're moving house and need less stuff! I've sold my Sterling Stingray, now putting this up and have one bass on hold for me to replace the two. Collection preferred from south Manchester (could drive within 30 miles on a Saturday too) but I will happily post it if buyer covers cost of postage and insurance. Thanks for the interest. Will

Now sold - thanks

Now on hold - sale pending. I will confirm on here if it sells

Another bump! Open to offers the bass I'm after is on hold for me till July. If not sold by the, I'll need to withdraw

Bump and more photos now added. Has to go so make me a (reasonable!) offer and this beaut may well be yours

PRICE DROP TO £625 For sale is this beautiful Sterling by Musicman Ray34hh. Bought in 2020, not ever played outside of the house, mint condition. Full set up and fret dress by Jack's Instrument Services. Made in Indonesia, these are the best of the Sterling line before you hit the USA models. I owned a 2002 US Stingray and would say this is on a par. Love the roasted maple neck, plays like a dream. Pickup selector switch is as follows: -Bridge pickup only (think your regular Stingray tone) -Outer coils for both pickups (like a jazz bass on steroids) -All 4 coils (monstrous tone) -Inner coils for both pickups (my favourite; clear and zingy but even more punch than both outer coils) -Neck pickup only (nice and phat but still cuts through if you dig in) Finished in a gorgeous Daphne blue, this bass has become surplus to requirements and a family move means we need less stuff and more money! Collection from south Manchester preferred but can facilitate packaging if the buyer arranges a courier. Have only sold once on here before but here's my feedback.

Hi, no sorry it sold. Didn't want to unnecessarily bump it to the top again by changing the title since I thought no one would look this far back. Will change title accordingly and good luck with your search!

Now on hold - thanks for interest

Been a long-time lurker on here since a brief appearance in 2014 and have been toying with selling this for a little while now, but feel like needs must! So, for sale is my early Nate Mendel Precision with some serious mods. Feels great, sounds killer! Having recently had a baby (child number 3) and working full-time over lockdown, I haven't been able to give it quite as much love as I'd have liked before selling and there are a couple of things that I'd have sorted with more time. I will, of course, include these in the advert in italics so there are no surprises. But if this does suit anyone here and you bite, you'll be getting a lot more than £800 worth of gear - I've shunted the cost down to compensate for these small defects. The bass Fender Nate Mendel Precision - purchased in 2014 The mods - Bareknuckle Scatter-Wound 58 Split-Coil P-Pickup. Sounds seriously rich and punchy - currently £118.80 from BK website https://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/pickup/p-bass/p-bass-58-split-coil-p - Bareknuckle Hand-Wound 60-PE Jazz Bass bridge pickup added. Currently £94.80 from BK website https://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/pickup/j-bass/j-bass-60-pe (Type in 'Bareknuckle Bass Pickups' on Youtube and watch Nolly's vid with the Fretking Perfection Bass (the first hit) for a good indication of the sound.) - Fender '62 Precision Tortoiseshell Pickguard. £80 on Thomann website https://www.thomann.de/gb/fender_pickguard_precision_13holes_tt.htm?sid=63b5ec8fb17da8314d06f69bda44abad - 3-way selector switch added (I asked for either VVT or the three-way switch but the guys at the Guitar Repair Workshop ended up doing both). - Neck re-lacquered for faster movement. I found the lacquer far too thick and sticky so Jack at Jack's Instrument services re-did the whole neck for me - still a vintage tint but much faster and smoother. Bear in mind that the headstock signature and serial number was removed in the process and some paint around the neck joint chipped further than the original relicing. The extras Without any further cost than the £800 asking price, I am happy to throw in any of the following that you'd like: - The original Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder pickups - A set of Thomastik Infeld Flats (not on bass currently) - A mint-green pickguard which also accommodates the selector switch - A black 3-ply pickguard (replica, but brings the bass back close to the original look of a NM precision) - The bass will come with a Hiscox hard case The issues Tone pot needs replacing. It has cracked - with more time I'd have sorted it. Bass picked up an additional paint chip. Obvious in the photos - the red scraped off to reveal the gold undercoat in a section near the bridge Small chip on the body at the neck pocket. Looks a little scruffy but doesn't affect playability in any way. And finally, here are some more photos! This is a serious amount of bass and goods for the price, and the main issues are only cosmetic/easily fixed. Given the family situation this is for sale only; no trade offers please. Happy to post at buyer's arrangement and expense, but would recommend a meet-up (close-ish to Mcr and of course respecting current Covid-19 guidelines) if at all possible so you can assess the bass for yourself.

Sold pending the usual

Back up again! Be great to shift this before the end if the summer hols

Still here! Bump for a great bass!

PM'd you mate
