Chris Horton Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) I Love a Fender Precision bass. You plug it into an amp and they just sound good. . . . . . . Here is a few picks of the Precisions that I have owned past and present . . . . [attachment=67494:IMG_0502.JPG] My current 1973 Candy Apple Red Top - 1979/1981 Cherry Red , Bottom 1978/1980 Natural ,my first Precision , I was sad to see that one go . Both of these Precisions are sold. Here is my latest '69 precision - [IMG]http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/ff464/cmsb_horton/1969%20Precision/1.jpg[/IMG] Edited January 2, 2013 by Chris Horton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 OK first up is my 70s range; from left to right; first up my mainly 70s bitsa Bass, then my 1978 all original Precision and then my 1979 Precision. I stripped the left & right ones myself Next up we have my 2009 MIJ 51 RI Precision. It's a crime I don't play this one more but I can't bring myself to sell this. Then it's my original This is a 57RI MIJ from 1989 that I switched the neck to a 1993 62RI. It's a bit trigger's broom again here as I've also changed the scratchplate and the pickup too.

Cat Burrito Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 I don't sell on many of my Precisions but here's a couple that I sadly let go or I'd have had a silly amount. This was my 2006 Anniversary Precision that is still on Basschat. A VM Squier that again is still on Basschat and finally I've recently been regretting this one going since seeing a very cool picture of Klaus Voormann with one. This is a 2005/6 (memory is hazy) CIJ Blue Flower 54 RI. Again I believe this is still on Basschat although has again been sold on since I sold it.

I would love a Fiesta Red 'P'. I've got the money together but I can't decide between the RW P, Classic 50s Precision or the CV Squier with a few mods (all in fiesta red). I don't care about price, I just want a real player and I've heard some great things about the CV Squier, now with the addition of your praise. Hmmmm, tempting!

4-string-thing Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Here's my 77 or 78, all original, owned since 1979 but doesn't get played much nowdays, so I'm thinking that I may be tempted to trade or sell soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've had the bass since the year I was born [/quote] Ha ha....there are many ways I'm made to feel old daily, so its not so bad! I was only 17 when I bought the bass, I had to cadge a lift to the shop off my brother cos I hadn't passed my driving test. It cost me £240, about 10 weeks wages for an apprentice electrician at the time! I tried to sell it back to the shop in the 90's, they didn't want it at any price "wouldn't be able to shift it mate, nobody wants 'em nowdays" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Indeed it is still on here, although I think it's had at least 2 owners since your good self, before coming to me! It now has a Seymour Duncan quarter pounder fitted and some very bling peacock blue DR strings, is much loved and used everytime we go busking, as it gets loads of attention.

Nice Bass! Why you sell?? Cheers. [/quote] Why selling? Well I have a shoulder issue that no matter how light a bass is, and this is light, if it has any neck dive, and it does a bit, I get a very sore trapezius and neck. I also use a Ray34 which is much better balanced, but as it is a Ray it weighs a ton and we're back with the shoulder problem. I was happy to stick with it though and do exercises to lessen my discomfort. I was looking to add a P Retro when I demoed a Sandberg P/MM. Not a pretty bass, but fabulous balance, really light and a very nice preamp already installed and a very similar tone to the RW P/P. So a bit of soul searching (see wearing the wife down) I got that and having now gigged it a couple of times it's a keeper, so the RW P/P, as pretty and as versatile as it is, has to go to help pay for it Edited January 2, 2011 by ezbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
