Sadly a lot of the stuff I had was lost with the last 2 BC upgrades, which is why I couldn't quite remember how I'd got the passive AFTER the active. And my memory is frankly poop now (saving the expletives filter time there)

Original run was 200 black, 300 green passives for GC. Only 6 of each left the states Groovy.

Glad this bass came up, 'cos it's jogged a memory that was bugging me, as I KNEW I had one of these actives from new. That I sold to pay for the passive. Anyway, this 2012 active was the "standard" Factory Special Run". My 2012 passive was the Guitar Center commissioned Factory Special Run. Both models were made at around the same time (my passive serial number is about 150 before this bass). BUT!!! The 6 Sea Foam Pearl & 6 Black passives came to the UK AFTER the active version, as they were brought from Guitar Centre stock left over. SO glad I've finally remembered Tommy, it's a relatively cheap & easy conversion to passive, you've got a lot more chance of getting this version than the original passive.

I'm going to frame this, the last time I was right was 1974. FABULOUS basses.

Have you modded this to active & passive? This model was on general sale for a while & were, AFAIA, active only. The previous years passive the advert refers to was made for GC in the States (in Sea Foam Pearl & Black) only 6 of each of these passives reaching the UK.

Sold pending.........

No longer on hold, back up for sale.

On hold, thanks for the phenomenal interest folks.

Not one of the 1000's of '96 Fender 50th anniversary, this is a 50th Anniversary of the Precision bass model. Less than 500 made, apparently only 200 made it out of the USA, these do not come up often. They sold at about £1500 in 2001. Price is cash, no trades thanks, I won't be taking offers I'm afraid. Weight 8lb 14oz, truly excellent condition. Proper discussion, specs (and some slightly confused folk) on this link. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fender-50th-anniversary-precision-bass.597217/page-4 Any trial in Wigan, your rig or mine. Courier, you pay & organise BUT UK ONLY, sorry. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

Hope the move is working out well Phil. Great bloke to deal with peeps. I also have one of these excellent basses. Quite light for Ash, surprisingly back of the neck is not sticky, mine is certainly a great bass to play. My only criticism is no maple board available.

On hold thanks

Fender Jazz or Precision hard case. A few scuffs but pretty good condition. Can't find this model but I know they were at least £120. The "I've packed up gigging " clear out continues. £50 collected from Wigan, cheers, Karl.

Hmm, I know I shouldn't, but if my Orange cabs go I may well be in touch. I had a white one same as this but jazz dimension neck. Fabulous sound!

Thanks for the interest folks, all PM's replied. On hold (since about 6pm).

Pretty much immaculate as far as I can see. I have ended up (long story) with an Elite & a Deluxe, both white, one has to go. This is the one with the compound neck (C through to D profile) and compound radius fretboard, 9.5 inch low end to 14 inch dusty end. Weight 9lb 5oz Doesn't look like White is available this year (Fender Catalogue) Sorry, no trades & certainly no offers at this price. Bank transfer, cash on collection or cleared cheque thanks, no PAINPal. Collection from Wigan much preferred however if you wish to book/pay for an insured courier (UK only) just let me know day of collection. Feedback linked below. Cheers, Karl.
