Money no issue, I’d have bought this already. I’m really enjoying mine.

Same pickup/pre as my blue one. Very nice.

Very very nice

Nice these, tempting but with no time for bass at the moment...and two guitars sat unplayed, seems daft to be tempted.

Now surplus to requirements as I’ve taken delivery of a multi fx which does a fair enough rendition of the same sound (for the 40 seconds of a song I bought it for). absolutely classic sound though - if I used more fx I’d keep it, but really can’t justify it. wooden box intact and included... £5 shipping in UK

Drool.

I’ve got a bass I’m sorting to sell But maybe keep. Couldn’t find a single machine head without buying from the US. The originals are 70’s style unbranded Fender ones with the same footprint as the Schaller BMF I’ve bought. They’re from an 80’s power jazz special (MIJ) ine was replaced with what looks to be a drop tuner but the schaller version. The lever has gone walkies. you could drill the rivets out and have a full set. one of the ferrules is silver - no idea why, other than it’s non original. I’ll probably eBay them at £10 apiece. but thought I’d chuck them on here first. andy

“John was, for most of his professional career, a Fender Precision bassist. He was given a 1965 sunburst model by the record company in 1972, and by late 1974 he had another one, which was made in 1968. The two basses are almost identical and they sound 99.99% alike. The only slight difference is on their logos: the 1965 model has a grey logo, the 1968 model has a black logo. John used both of them interchangeably for most of the 1970s, and then mostly the 1968 model from then on. Those basses underwent several changes on their finish: in summer 1975, John stripped off his 1965 model and left it natural, one year later he did the same with the 1968 model, and by the time the Magic tour began in June 1986 he had his 1968 bass refurbished and painted black.” I copied this from another thread. Forgot I’d posted it...
