    Offers before I list this on eBay?

    Think I'll part out the bass as it's a bitsa anyway and I've got much stuff sitting around as it is! Body £150 (body only, no PUPs/circuit etc which I'll keep) Fender USA lined fretless neck £200 (neck only, no tuners which I'll keep) C

    No worries mate, I'm going to split it for parts I think, too many Precisions for sale at present here Neck & tuners £250 Body £150 PUP & Circuit £75 I'll keep the bridge & pickguard

    They're not bolts, they're screws (x 4) on most Fenders, screws (x 2) and bolts (x 1) on the Fenders in question?

    Hi mate, I’m in Canterbury Kent. Chris

    And I only say this because I've been the victim so many times by the way

    Absolutely. Everyone raved about the first wave of Fender Fleas, and a pretty high percentage then sold them. Those dopamine pathways in our heads are telling us we're going to feel so much better when was have the new bass, but they stop saying that the moment we get it, which is when the cognitive dissonance starts kicking in! Strikes me that if fender thought an MM PUP in a Jazz Bass body was a good idea they could have done it a long time ago, without waiting for Flea to suggest it.

    Does make me laugh, I wonder what Sterling Ball thinks. Flea moves from EBMM to Modulus and gets them to essentially make him a Stingray (well, Cutlass), and them moves to Fender and gets them to essentially make him a Stingray. IME Fender make great basses (all two of them) but often pretty crap active circuits, certainly compared to those that go into Stingrays and Moduli. Interesting to see how this lands.....

    Had an offer on the neck so happy to split neck and body. Also have a Warmoth fretted Jazz neck for sale on this bass .... ....that I'd be happy to transplant so to speak

    Mystic Red - or 'Místico Rojo' - as per Fender's catalogue, it's actually a lot more vibrant than it looks. Think the white PG works better also?

    I bought this bass a few weeks back ....and did so purely for the P-Retro, the bridge and the neck, with the intention of reselling the bass or bit of the bass (there being a sufficient number of Precisions chez Beedster). So, I've replaced the Allparts Precision neck with an even higher quality Warmoth Jazz Neck (with their rather effective string retainer), the bridge with a standard BBOT, and the circuit with a standard Precision loom with a capacitor the size of a small house it would appear (almost didn't fit). Is it a good bass you ask? Hell yes. So why is it so cheap? Because I need to recoup some of the money I spent on it sharpish! If it doesn't sell by the weekend I'll split the parts and sell those. So, a Fender USA quality Precision albeit with a very high quality Jazz width neck, Hipshot tuners, Fender USA '62 PUPs, Fender USA body (very good condition), all for £500. PS the colour is a rather fetching 'Mystic Red' which looks rather dull in the photos, but is very nice.

    You and me both mate

    Thanks folks Greg, yes it's a Lollar indeed, had a sneaky feeling I'd got it wrong., somewhat up the line from a '62 for sure. You did a damn fine job putting this one together mate, it looks, feels and sounds lovely. I've two FL Precisions, and given the other has been with me for years, and given I don't really need two, I'm opting for last in/first out. I know I'll miss it
  17. Beedster
    Yep, keep it Nik, the day it sells you'll realise you need it. I only sold mine to get a M-Pulse 600 because my SVT has the boxes ticked for the BB750, but I'm glad I have both. The BB gives you control over tone that the V4B doesn't, and you might just miss it!
  18. Beedster
    Little use, replaced with a Status graphite neck for most of it's donor bass's playing time. Lovely fast oiled finish. No tuners. Cheers Chris

    For sale is a lovely fretless Precision, bought from Greg/Shaggy on this forum, a purveyor of fine basses and a man who has helped me part with a lot of cash over the years! Body is unknown but is Oly White over 3tsb and is a very very authentic looking relic., PUPs I think are Fender USA '62 RIs (I'll check), neck is Fender USA with original tuners. Very solid Precision tone, lovely playable neck with stunning rosewood lined board. IIRC I paid around £500, offers in that region welcome. As is always the case with my basses, you don;t like it, you can return it These are Greg's pictures, I'll upload some more tomorrow Chris EDIT: PUPs are Lollars not Fender

    That's pretty much my current rig, albeit I've got the 600 head and Traditional Powerhouse 2x10s, and it is one hell of a combination. Really versatile also; works great with just one cab, but with two it's pretty monstrous.

    That's it 100%. People get punished by eBay for being bad sellers, but never for being bad buyers. This guy is just that, doesn't stick to the stated terms, tries to push his angle on the deal, gets really arsey and aggressive with sellers if he doesn't get his own way, eventually forcing them to concede or back out of the deal. In the latter case he leaves really negative feedback. He appears to do this for a significant percentage of his deals; if you factor in the feedback I had removed last week, it means that in the last month alone 80% of the feedback he left for others was negative, and it is no doubt way more than shown in his profile as most sellers would have eventually managed to get the feedback removed). He's a bully but eBay support him and no doubt many more.
  24. Beedster
    This is, amazingly, still rumbling on, so I checked the guy's feedback leaving habits. Interesting that a lot of people appear to cancel deals with him, and then he leaves aggressively negative feedback. Bit remiss of eBay not to recognise that there are guys out there who create problems in a significant percentage of deals, but that even given this, eBay still appear to believe and side with the problem people, and against all the evidence they have in heir message system?

    They knew how to do a good 3TSB back then didn't they
