    Cheers Dunc, hope you & yours are fine. I've seen quite a few Fender Japan basses out at "optimistic" prices of late. The price, imo, is fair to buyer & seller.

    As per title. £650 collected from Darlington with hard case, £620 with no case or gig bag. A Fender Precision bass, Made in Japan by people in a factory putting bits of wood, plastic & metal together. Sounds like a Precision. Weight 9lb 5oz. New Dunlop Superbrights 40 to 100 New black scratchplate custom made by Bass Doc to give it a more 70's look. Original white plate included. A better advert than mine, link. https://www.gasstationguitars.com/product-page/fender-japan-2004-vintage-white-standard-precision-bass-cij ISSUES. Dent in back, a few tiny dints around the edges, difficult to photo. Saddle screws are daft high, it will bother some, it doesn't bother me, I don't know what palm mute means. Ahem. REASON FOR SALE. Object of lust has been spotted & funds towards it are required. MEET UP. Yes, will travel roughly as far as Alnwick, Penrith, Ferrybridge for a half way meet. COURIER. Yes, I give you weight & dimensions, you organise & pay for it. TRADES Very unlikely BUT if the object of my lust sells, I may well be tempted with an American Special P or Mex Road Worn P plus suitable quids your way. FEEDBACK https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/288068-feedback-for-karlfer/page/7/ Thanks for looking.

    Have you got the strap pins for this Martyn? It's a wonderful looking thing!

    A couple of the guys have had discussions with this seller. He told one, the Mexico/Japan thing was due to him putting the wrong pictures up. Good work @smokyflipps TREAD WITH CARE it may be a bargain or it may not be what he shows it to be! I'd only buy face to face (9 hour round trip, I'm out).

    Try looking at the photos. I have a feeling the seller is not quite up to speed on basses or tech.

    Most bargainacious you, erm, muppet 😁 Good luck, top bloke to deal with.

    Very poor advert on Gumtree. I spoke to him last week told him to put it on here. I guess he thought I was a scammer. Not sure if it's against the rules but it would be great if one of ours got it. It's got a few little chips around the rear strap button area but £600 including hard case is a lot less than the last 2 I've seen. It would have been me but for the 500 mile 9 hour + round trip. If anybody gets it, please let us know 🙂 https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/fender-precision-bass/1419212782

    As with many bass related things then, it's just an opinion. I asked simply because I have a 21 Indonesia CV 50's P. It is extremely good imo & perfectly capable of any gig I'm likely to do. I certainly don't feel the need to spend more on an earlier version because it was made in China, same as I wouldn't be as ridiculous to buy an overpriced over hyped JV. But that's also just an opinion.

    How are they empirically better?

    60th anniversary of Fender the company, not the Precision.

    Might also be an idea to state your rough location, Basschat has local Fender experts all over 🙂 You may be able to take it to someone near to you to assess it.

    Forgot about this, anyway done & gigged with , makes an already superb bass that bit better. Cheers all, really appreciated.

    Hiya Mark. The reason I bought one originally in 2020 was I had to learn the track linked below, for Whole Hog. Saw the video, it had to be done 😁
  15. karlfer
    You should know you took the photos. Hiya Tom hope you are ok. 9lb on the luggage scales fella.

    As new, surplus to requirements. Scratchplate & tug bar removed for that JPJ/Sting look, both included. Unlike most early 50's re-issues this has the Tele style headstock BUT a modern C neck profile and a 41.3mm nut width. Not a baseball bat like most. It also has an arm contour, another good thing. I'm taking a £100 hit on this after about 3 months of it sat there doing nowt. Truss rod nut is not made of cheese unlike some of the 2020 basses. I've set this up for me & there were no problems with the truss rod nut at all, moves both ways. I don't want a trade but I do keep looking at the Squier CV 70's Precision especially the black with black blocks. And I'm weak. Collection from Darlington preferred, try through your rig or mine. I will meet up within about 50 miles Courier. I'll box it & give you the dimensions, you would need to organise & pay. That way you will know how much courier insurance costs! Feedback Thanks for looking, Karl.

    Indeed Ivory & low production numbers with excellent reputation for being a bit special. I feel the need to move a product of Santa Anna to fund this wonderful bass. Top bloke to deal with as well 👍

    @Bassassin had the greatest ever, Radioactive Snot Glo, Vorg Rick copy if I remember correctly.

    Perfect chaps, that covers it all. Now, to get round to it 😆 Many thanks guys.

    I've not sanded the back of a neck before but can I really do that much damage to a 2008/9 Road Worn Jazz? Anyway, I saw a video that recommended applying lemon oil after sanding. Being a lazy git, I have a little bottle of Fender fretboard refresher which smells a bit lemony. Would it be ok to use that? Thanks in anticipation 🙂

    Congrats Matt, gorgeous.

    This red looks even better with a mirror scratchplate. Just sayin' 😙😁
