    That’s what I thought!

    No I didn’t, why is it like that? I can understand the tilt side to side to allow for the radius of the fretboard but not the other way

    Check your witness points on the strings, especially as they are flatwounds https://www.talkbass.com/threads/witness-points-the-pictorial.1217291/

    A few weeks ago I wanted to scratch an itch of wanting to try a Fender Custom Shop Precision. Having had a look online there was nothing local to me so went done the route of having to buy and making use of the 14 day return policy if I wasn’t happy. Good job I did as I wasn’t happy! I ordered 2, an Olympic White ‘63 Journeyman Relic and a Dakota Red ‘63 Light Relic Olympic White (£3200) Pros: Nice ageing of the body paint and neck, neck was lovely and worn and beautiful to play. Cons: Heavy (over 9lbs) Strings misaligned over the fretboard when aligned over the pickups. Pickups were tilted towards the neck as if the foam underneath hadn’t been placed properly. Tuners were so stiff you almost needed 2 hands to turn them! Dakota Red (£3500) Pros: Lighter than the Olympic. Nice ageing again and tuners actually turned! Cons: Electronics were completely dead! Plugged in and nothing at all!! So did I think either of these basses were worth over £3000 each? No! If I’d paid £1500 I still would of been miffed so obviously they were both returned post haste! I then managed to get one of these Fender Classic 50’s Lacquer (Nitro), about 12 years old so nicely aged neck, body and hardware (naturally) Neck is gorgeous and worn so silky smooth, nice low action and frets are impeccable. Pickups sound great and weighs under 9lbs. Cost? £700! This one isn’t going back! 😂

Excellent condition with original gig bag I have made some upgrades to the bass which is in another thread but consists of; Hipshot Kickass Bridge (Black) Hipshot Ultralite Tuners (Black) Dunlop Strap Locks (Black) All of these result in no neck dive which was one of the criticisms when it came out.

    Cheers, no still has the original pickup which sounds good anyway! I haven’t played it much since managing to get a Classic 50s Precision Lacquer so will probably be moving it on soon, still a great bass though
