    Due to purchase of a rare Precision, I need to reluctantly move this one on. As per title, 1998 Aqua Marine Metallic Fender American Standard Precision. Lots of battle scars and dinks, including fretboard and side of neck wear. I have feedback which I always want to protect, so for this one I would prefer collected from Wigan. Then you make your decision. A great sounding & playing Precision, one of the best I've played. I've forked out £1200 on two basses in two days, so............................. Weight is 9lb 2ozs, comes with a hideously beaten but functional hard case, plus extra black WD scratchplate. TRADES. NO, NO, NO. Except a Road Worn Jazz, or Flea Courier. I would prefer not to, because it's not exactly pristine and I don't want anybody to be disappointed. If you must have it couriered to you, YOU will need to organise it, pay for courier and just let me know day of collection. UK only, sorry. Any trial in Wigan, thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

    Can't thank you enough Jim, really appreciate everything you've done. World class to deal with

    Yeah, go for it. I was asked to audtion for a similar band late last year, doing 2 sets 50's/60's RnR, 1 set Elvis, as the singer does solo Elvis tribute gigs.. As some have said, remembering all the stops is the hardest part. http://www.rattledmusic.com/ The biggest difference I have noticed is when you gig with a classic rock pub band, every gig you have to prove yourselves. It's rare for the punters to be really enjoying it before half way through the second set. With the RnR, the girls are usually up from the 1st number. They are there to enjoy themselves rather than be kinda critically cool. Got some good gigs out of it as well, such as Monaco Ballroom, Cavern and we're at Glasgow's Grand Ole Opry on July 23rd. The one thing I detest (it spoils it for me) is a different "uniform" for all three sets. Enjoy

    Sold thanks.

    Aha, sussed.

    Crazily under rated and under valued basses (imo). This one has the added bonus of being passive with top rate Ki0Gon wiring. All you coffin dodgers like me, who grumble at out heavier than a bag of pork scratchings, just get this bought. STEAL!

    [quote name='508pir' timestamp='1499370017' post='3331160'] That's stunning if only you were closer. [/quote] Happy to meet in Buxton for a firm sale at £250, no further charge.

    Can't believe this is still available, although you've hardly pushed it Jack. Still kicking myself for my dumb-ness.

    Off hold and back up for sale. Again.
  12. karlfer
    No longer on hold, back up for sale again.
  13. karlfer
    Bargain imo. Might be an idea to give folk a rough location?
  14. karlfer
    Harumph Well done that man.
  15. karlfer
    Well, it's like this Geoff..................................................... I actually got my Barefaced up on Facebook, about 10 minutes before Dave signified these as on hold. Hey ho, someone got lucky.
  16. karlfer
    Guess I'm not going to be able to sell my 2 Barefaced in time to get these back then
  17. karlfer
    On hold.

    [quote name='itsmedunc' timestamp='1498600050' post='3325857'] If only it was white with a maple board... GLWTS Karl! [/quote] Unlucky Dunc [quote name='SisterAbdullahX' timestamp='1498660191' post='3326170'] "How much more black? And the answer is...none more! It's like a black mirror...you can see yourself in both sides..." [/quote] Original owner was one D. Vader. That might be a lie

    [quote name='foxyFuze' timestamp='1498591550' post='3325776'] I'd happily swap to get this and cash for my US Pro Jazz, but I'm guessing you're after a straight swap. [/quote] Not particularly, but I don't have the approx £700 difference I'm afraid.

    No, surprisingly this rare Fender Japan bass has not had a huge amount of interest. Cheaper than a new Mex P, 31 years old and Japanese made. Hey ho.
  21. karlfer
    Cheers Kev. 5 folk interested but currently still here. In answer to one question, they were last out at £374 new.
  22. karlfer
    Cheers Paul . Spookily there's a Lake Placid Blue one of these with a SD replacement pup, on Bumtree at this very moment. AT £400

    £225 collected from Wigan until 5pm Sunday 9/7/17 Pretty much as new as far as I can see. These are now discontinued. Original owner had a Ki0Gon (John) loom made for it, and fitted. Recent pro set up, new strings. Tug bar will be back on. I am overrun with Precisions, I need some Jazz-ness Any trial in Wigan, your rig or mine. Will meet up within 30 miles of Wigan, no extra charge. Cheers, Karl.

    [quote name='bigmuff69' timestamp='1498139172' post='3322758'] Yep, this one was mine,and it is a fsr fiesta red 60s jazz,if I remember fender also released a sonic blue jazz along with this as well [/quote] Yup, Rich Tone in Sheffield had both colours in last year, nice basses.

    [quote name='Woodinblack' timestamp='1498078708' post='3322443'] Sweetwater have the white, the black and the Tobacco sunburst one. [url="https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/EBTVTSNH"]https://www.sweetwat...detail/EBTVTSNH[/url] That white one looks fairly tempting! I assume with the current level of the £ vs $ they aren't going to be much off £600 [/quote] Sadly I think you are right. If so, I'm out, I'll just get a used one and some bits.
