tom1946 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) Heres my Fender Squier Protone bass has one small indentation on the top It has an almost unmarked black body with contrasting red tortoishell pick guard It has a nice neck with virtually unplayed frets You will not find a better one! These are very highly rated guitars, do some google on the protone series and see the results, do not confuse with regular squiers as these are on a par with the early Jap ones Fender actually stopped production of these as they were affecting sales of the more expensive models, I can't tell this apart from my Jap Precision, it's that good. Made only for two years. Looking for £450 for this including a decent gigbag thanks for looking. Edited February 3, 2011 by tom1946 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webby Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Very nice looking bass, but all I could find out about the protone's was that it was a 5 string. What year is this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1946 Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 They made 4 & 5 string versions, this is around early 90's I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Belated happy new year Tom. Is that jazz width at the nut? Anybody thinking about this, I have contemplated relocating to Guisborough so Tom can set up/service my basses Cheers, Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuee Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) Hi Tom, Sounds intriguing, but err.. where are the pics? P.S. I'm surprised it hasn't sold with a topic as LOUD as that! Edited February 3, 2011 by Stuee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1946 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Hi Stuee, I took the pics down yesterday as no one expressed an interest. I can send pics if you are interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuee Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) To be honest, Tom, I almost definitely won't buy your bass (fiscally challenged as usual!) but I am interested in it, as I'm sure others are too. I watch the marketplace as much to learn about the instruments as anything, and having pics up of a rare bass like yours is useful to anyone who encounters such a thing in the wild. One thing's for sure, you won't get any offers without the pics! Edited February 3, 2011 by Stuee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
