sniperschool Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) i brought it back from the states about 10 years ago the neck dated march 15th 1990 (serial is V046879) it's in great condition with a few small marks and light scratches on it (i should really clean them before i take pictures) it plays and sounds great but then i would say that case is a fender Nylon hard case feel free to ask any questions or if you want any more/specific shots it's in Essex/London but can meet send to anywhere in the UK if you want to sort out postage (i can pack it well) I'm new on Basschat but i'm a Moderator on www.gearslutz.com (same user name sniperschool) if you want/need a reference looking for £895 thanks sean Edited May 19, 2013 by sniperschool
karlfer Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 My opinion (for what it's worth) is that is a very keen price for that bass. Luvverly! Welcome to Basschat and good luck. Karl
Rimskidog Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Fancy seeing you here mate! I didnt even know you were a bass player! I can vouch for Sean (Sniperschool). He's a top man and straight as they come!
sniperschool Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) hello Trev! i wouldn't call myself a bass player as such (i play a bit of everything i guess) but i do own an awful lot of basses so i guess i'm halfway there! and Karl thanks for the post about the price and the nice welcome in reply to the PM's asking if i'm interested in trades i traded a '77 Stingray to Gareth last week so i'm not looking for any other basses at the moment as well as the '73 precision i have up for sale at the moment i am going to add a '62 a '65 and couple of late '60's 4001's soon [quote name='Rimskidog' post='1105629' date='Jan 27 2011, 09:49 PM']Fancy seeing you here mate!

alanbass1 Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 That's the right price, just not a good time to sell anything at the moment
Nickington Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Hey Where is the 73 p you mentioned above? Was this bass made in USA or just bought there? Thanks Nick

Thanks Nick[/quote] it's a USA build not a Japanese had a few PM's asking about that but i thought the 'V' serial means it's a US build also regarding the '73 there is a thread in the 'For Sale' section on it thanks

Thunderthumbs Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Right now, that would be my ultimate Precision. Shame I don't even have £7.95 let alone £795. All the best to whoever buys it.
sniperschool Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 well should for some reason i struggle to get my asking price i'll keep you in mind!

richardd Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Hi Sean,It maybe just the photo,s but one of the pickguard screws looks bigger than the rest,is this so,Rich

richardd Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Hi Chris,Well is it,thinking of buying it I am

That's one very under-priced instrument! C
sniperschool Posted February 17, 2011 Author Posted February 17, 2011 i think all the screws are the same well they look the same to me! also someone PM'd about the logo on the headstock looking odd it's the original one and it's hardly been played let alone tampered with
sniperschool Posted February 19, 2011 Author Posted February 19, 2011 ok i am interested in a trade after all looking for this to go towards an older precision (has to be a precision) plus cash but it has to be a colour (red/blue etc or even olympic white) i have too many wood & sunbursts and not enough solid colours i would consider a bass up to £3k in value thanks
