b0bd0gz Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 (edited) I'm selling my Fender MIJ (Made in Japan) Precision bass with FotoFlame finish. I bought this bass a while back and am now selling as need money for driving lessons. The Serial Number is S010809. Which according to the guitardaterproject.org means it was made between 94-95 in the Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan) which apparently is one of the good ones. I have added a John East P-retro Preamp along with Nordstrand NP4 pickups, and it has Thomastik flatwound strings on it [size=4]Because the bass has a FotoFlame finish it has cracks all over it[/size] which I have tried to show in the photos below. Also one of the previous owners seems to have attacked the nut adjuster which again I have tried to show in the pictures below as well as scratches and dents it has accumulated. You'll be getting the charger for the preamp and a hardcase for it as well. Altogether I have spent £680 on the bass so I am asking £450 for it collected or £475 for it delivered. I hope thats a fair price. Here is a link to my basschat feedback.

Christophano Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 Honestly, I just did a bit of a wee. That is gorgeous.... The only thing I could offer you is my Trans Teal MusicMan Stringray, but I know your after cash for driving lessons. Cooorrrrr, What a bass. Good luck with the sale.
b0bd0gz Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Thanks for the replies As for the action, I have it quite high as I like to use a pick with it.
DolganoFF Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 What a beauty! Will you consider trades? If yes, I have this fretless Hagström here : [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=122362"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=122362[/url]
b0bd0gz Posted March 2, 2011 Author Posted March 2, 2011 Sorry no trades I'm afraid as I really need the money for driving lessons which sucks that bass is beautiful

b0bd0gz Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 Thanks for the kind compliments shemeckfrac. Anyone want to buy it? please do I need to get driving before the summer
Jigster Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 this used to be mine but came with original white pickguard (u still got it?) - i thought the serial number was familiar and just checked on some old photos - i had it pre-East and Nordstrand pups but it was a great player that I gigged a fair bit. Tempted to have it back. Does the East have a passive option? Must sound pretty massive?
