Epsom
This is a very rare USA Precision Bass – it was produced as an exclusive for a US chain (Guitar Center / Musicians Friend) back in 2012. Other internet sources suggest that only 150 were ever made, and only 9 made it to the UK.
It has an beautiful honeyburst hand-stained nitro finish. I think my photos are reasonable, but you can google around to find other images under different lighting conditions.
It is in absolutely mint condition. I bought it because I fell in love with the finish, but have always had other ‘daily’ basses to play and have not played bass as much as I thought I would over the past several years (I’m more of a keys guy). I have taken it out of the case about three times since I bought it, and never taken it outside the house.
It plays really nicely, and is fitted with some Fender flats. 3.9 kg weight.
Sale includes:
· Spider hard case, extremely good condition with black velour lining.
· Factory tag and unopened accessories bag.
· Genuine Fender strap.
I have a strong preference for collection from near Epsom, UK. But happy to discuss meeting half way or shipping options.
