This is a delightful and upgraded Japanese-built high quality Precision bass. This one has had a few subtle upgrades to make it an excellent gigging and recording bass:
The upgrades are as follows:
· The neck has been lightly sanded for a super-smooth feel and is really good to get around on
· A new aftermarket tort pickguard has been fitted by the previous owner (I don't have the original)
The bass comes fitted with some nicely run in GHS Pressure Wound strings and will come with a decent padded gig bag. In the pics the bass has speed dial knobs on, but I will put the chrome ones it came to me with back on for sale. It’s a lovely instrument and weighs just over 8½lbs by my scales (3.9kgs). It’s a gigging workhorse and great as a main bass or backup.
This is a fantastic bass and has some real mojo. There are some minor cosmetic dings and marks but nothing structural. These are very difficult to picture on a black bass. If you’d like me to have another go, please just ask.
In short, Japanese quality with serious upgrades. If this bass wasn’t so good, it would have not had the use it has had. Only for sale as arthritis is starting to badly impact my playing so slowly (and painfully) getting rid of my gear that I have accumulated over the years.
It currently has a KiOgon loom and a Fender Custom Shop '59 pickup fitted but it will have the original parts restored for sale. Of course if you want either of them left in the bass we can discuss the price.
Collection or meet up preferred but I have packaging so I can post this.
Here are some pics., thanks for looking.
