Hello,
I live in France, and I recently exchanged a 1972 Fender precision against an F AC5 bass in england. TheBass F AC5 was blocked for more than a month at the level of the French customs which is totally overwhelmed! Impossible to reach them the customs clearance service of the French post office which is called Wissou is completely unreachable. moreover for a declared value of 1000 pounds the customs fees amounted to .... 300 euros !!!! The bass arrived this morning after a month and 7 days of waiting ... inform yourself well before the transaction !
the French post and customs clearance service is lamentable
Best regards
I keep you informed about the weight, I just weighed it on 3 digital scales which give me 3 different weights ....
I will go and weigh it at the post office scale tomorrow
Here is a small piece of recording without any mixing that I did with the bass, I just go through my neve 1073 preamp
volume to the max, and tone to the max (mp3 file)

Hi
Hello
I do not know if a finish was redone, I had a 71 which had the finish as impeccable as the one and which was original.
It's hard to know, I'm not a specialist enough!
all I know is that it sounds awful !!
Selling my original, 1972 P-Bass, excellent condition , everything is said in the photos.
Bass bought on basschat about 1 years ago for a project, used only in my studio.
trade ok with fretless Bass F AC5 or Fodera fretless emperor 5 Std
(19 mm string spacing at bridge)
Thank you
16mm is very small ! It's generally 18mm (on my Ken smith black tigger 5 and Mayones Jabba 5) or 19 mm (on my F BNF5)
I'v send a mail directly to Godin to have a confirmation
I keep you informed
