dr1 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 beautiful bass and I adore Precision basses. ( 70's especially) I wonder why some people doesnt want to list the serial numbers? what gives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumbcorns Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hi, and thanks for the comment. I decided not to publish the serial number, as I didn't want it being used to rip people off via scam auctions ("but this never happens in Internet land" I hear you cry). Seriously though, anyone who is genuinely interested is more than welcome to come and check the serial number for themselves.

ickleben Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I had the joy of playing this bass for an hour or so a few months ago and fell in love. If I wasnt married to a 5'er and saving up for another I'd have this bass in a second. It's a nice bass and sounds.... ohh so good. Good luck with the sale!

plasson Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 hey, would you happen to be interested in a trade with a '72 Telecaster bass?

thumbcorns Posted February 19, 2011 Author Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hello Plasson That is a very nice looking bass, but I'm looking to sell mine, not trade. If I got another it would probably sit under the stairs for 20 years like mine Thank you [quote name='plasson' post='1132977' date='Feb 19 2011, 12:26 AM']hey, would you happen to be interested in a trade with a '72 Telecaster bass?

thumbcorns Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 Replied - btw a man of much bass knowledge at a local guitar shop told me mine has an ash body apparently rarer than common poplar bodies (I wouldn't know), and so more collectable. He also said hold onto it until it's 40 and people will bite my arm off Any takers? I might be dead before then [quote name='tricky' post='1135398' date='Feb 21 2011, 01:08 PM']PM'ed[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
