A couple of Precisions - Jap and US

Hey fellow bass fanatics.

I saw these two ebay basses and they pretty much tick the boxes for what I want - Either a US or preferably a Jap Precision in black with a rosewood neck. The required black s/plate can be added later.

So essentially I just wanted a bit of advice from those of you that are Precision gurus.

Also does this look straight to you? It's not a Lyte (or Lite) is it??

Not sure but I think the USA one is a little older than 3 years - isn't Z1 = 2001?

The Jap description sounds dodgy but the bass looks OK although clearer pics would help. The strap hanger on the back of the headstock means (I think) that it'd be an alder bodied one with US pickups as opposed to the cheaper basswood models - which are still good.

I'd be dubious about buying it without seeing it from those pics and that description.

The third bass isn't a Precision Lyte.

Thanks guys.

I'll email 'em for some more info. I agree about the illiterate description and crappy pics, made me worry a bit.

The all black Jap one (last of the three links) threw me a bit as the layout of the knobs seems odd, but I think they did that on Jap models of the 80's. Jack socket on the side of the body too?

Any luck finding a true P yet?[/quote]

Ha ha!! Yeah I like to tell people it's a pic of my first born! :) makes me chuckle anyway.

Well I have had a reply from the American P bass seller and he seems OK, though I asked for a pic of the headstock. He said "I should have included that, loads of people have asked".. and he still didn't send me a pic! Says it is spotless though.

The all black 84-87 Jap one has replied too and again seems genuine and I think it's my prefered one at the mo. A few scratches and some wear and a ding by the jack socket.

Nothing from the one with spelling problems!!

Just to ask (and push my luck further)... what sort of price is fair on these??

Ta muchly

So waiting for my new bass.

To this point I have had no response from my emails asking if everything is OK and to let me know when the bass is shipped.

On checking my paypal account the payment has not been collected by the buyer.

OK, I won it 2 days ago but I’m just impatient you see and being such a good ebayer I expect the same back!


Yours
