Thanks chaps. These basses are very well thought of by many. Couple of tentative pm's replied. They have been on sale since Jan 2009, although not that many come up second hand. Fender prices have rocketted over the last couple of years. Plenty "new" available at £1275 .

I can't do anything but speak from experience. I have a fairly recent Chinese Classic Vibe 50's Precision in LPB and even stock spec it's an astonishing bass. Fairly sure this series is also regarded highly by many.

400 Jazz and 400 Precisions made in 2012. That's really not a lot of these basses for the world. They don't come up very often and it may be a LONG time before Fender do another run. Anybody liking, might be an idea to jump rather than hesitate. We all know with Tom, it'll be a good 'un.

Rarely available in the UK sadly. Phenomenal cabs imo. GLWTS.

As per title, includes beat up Fender Deluxe gig bag. Currently £1275 new (see link to spec and price).

Will the new price go up AGAIN in January? Who knows. Just been set up by Steve Robinson (Manchester Guitar Tech). TRADES. Immaculate PUMA 900 + £250 to me. Immaculate PUMA 500 + £300 to me. £700 collected from Wigan (or meet up within 50 miles), extra £30 insured courier UK. Feedback at bottom of post. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

Typical lovely Ibby with MAPLE board and one of the elite gear whores on Basschat. What's not to like! Good luck Tom.

Thought this went on Facebook in about 5 seconds flat Dan, or was it another dreamer ?

Keep this, sell me the Fender 60th and I'll go stay at my mother's in Mowden (BIG brownie points)

Jolly poor form boy, I expect high entertainment from your humourous adverts

Next ?

Right Tom, pay attention, I shall zay zis only wernce. It's not a Telecaster neck. Part of the evidence is that it says PRECISION on the headstock . As Jono rightly pointed out, it's from a CV 50's Precision. In this case, maple board on maple neck (now discontinued, replaced by White Blond). Folks call these a Telecaster headstock, but it's actually the original early 50's headstock style. This headstock style was brought back into production around '67 with the release of the Telecaster bass. Since then it's been used on all sorts of basses.

Very nice Tom. Looks like this one's gone (not surprising ). Next.

Thanks Gareth, very kind of you

Thanks Gavin, yup, simple bass but well made and specced. This was theoretically sold, with collection today. A young guy on Facebook. It came as no real surprise when he backed out late last night. So, still currently here. Well set up, frets fettled, good sound, nice neck and weight. Looks great with or without scratchplate. All opinions of course Cheers, Karl.

[quote name='Snook' timestamp='1476437619' post='3154253'] It possibly could be but it doesn't seem that way. The neck plate has not serial number etc, but that said I guess striping the body could reveal more? I don't know? Open to any advise if anyone has anything to check! But I've priced it hopefully at a price that reflects it isn't considered to be original, if that makes sense.... [/quote] Why not put a thread up on the Fender community forum, asking for thoughts? There are some VERY long term Fender folk on there.
