FEND3R Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) I finally decided to part with this “rockin’ machine”- I’m in love with Precision bases and am letting everything else go. This one is Japanese made, not sure of the brand but definitely the best of this kind I’ve had- and I had 4 of them. It is in extremely good condition for an instrument over 30 years old. The lacquer is still 9/10- only a couple of minor scuffs, and the paintjob is beautiful (sorry for the sh*tty pictures but I am not a photographer and the sun is out these days). The pickups have enormous output, everything is working including the stereo jack, the pots are ok. The chrome parts are in pristine condition as can be seen, even the chrome pickup cover is there. As I have seen on some other Japanese basses like this one the bridge is slightly leveled at the back side, so there is a metal part added underneath it (in the hollow part) which holds the strings down- probably added by the previous owner. The truss rod is working. When I got it the bass went straight to my luthier for fret leveling and set up. Also there was a slight delamination of the lower wing on the back side of the body which can be seen in the pictures but the luthier fixed that also and now it is as solid as it can be. Still has the original foam muter which works perfectly. The neck is straight and the action is nice. The wood grain of the wings of the body is awesome. As can be seen the binding of the body is checkered. The bass sounds solid and with tons of sustain and roar as it should be. I have a truss rod cover with some stupid inscription which isn’t the original but will be included. Also the bass will ship in the case pictured- brown leather on the outside in very good condition, strange interior but still very protective.

The price is firm – SOLD + shipping expenses- I can ship from Germany or from Bulgaria- it depends on where I am at the moment.

skater dan0 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 That is beautiful. If the pending sale falls through I'll be all over this. Does it have 1 or 2 truss rods? Do you have a truss rod cover for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
