I have the urge to go back to a 5 string as its been a few years now that I've been using a 4 and I feel that its time for a change again.
At the end of last year I put together a bass using top notch parts but am unsure of how much it would be worth so thought I'd get an idea here before I put it up as I don't want to under or overvalue it.
The body comes from a brand new MIM Precision with a body date of October 2009. The neck and neck plate are from a mid 80s MIJ Fender Precision. The machineheads are from a 1978 MIA Fender Precision. Allparts mirror scratchplate, CTS pots, switchcraft jack, paper in oil cap, schaller straplocks, Gotoh 201 bridge and for the finale - a Jason Lollar pickup.
I'm not going to be selling this to get just any bass. This is a fantastic bass and there is little that could touch it but I am finding the urge to get myself a Stingray 5 string overwhelming.
I'm not 100% selling the bass, if its not going to be worth as much as i like or I can't find what i am looking for then I'll keep it until I either change my mind or find a stingray 5 string.
I am pretty picky about colour. Its going to have to be Lava Pearl or Black but I could be tempted by other non run of the mill colours or something that bit different.

Fire away with any thoughts and suggestions but keep any offers to PM only - this isn't a for sale thread, just trying to get an idea of what its worth but if you absolutely must have it then who am I to resist the lure of cash?
