jonsparrow91 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 (edited) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=84210"]A very nice review here.[/url] Bought for £300, installed a white EMG P (still have the original) for £60, put a set of Thomastik Infeld flats on it. Absolute mint condition aside from the wiring cavity which is filed on one side to accommodate a 9v battery. I'm keeping it in a hard case for the time being to be sure, to be sure. COMES WITH A GIG BAG. (Note the original pickup is still wired up sans grounding.) Here's the filed away bits, note the [i]no expenses spared[/i] battery. I felt this was a much better way to do it than making a cavity for the battery, this is a very, very snug fit (need a screwdriver or similar to lever it out) so there is no rattling at all. This is a fantastic bass, as good as any Precision I've ever played (from Squier to MIA). Unfortunately I am not a Precision Bass man. I love the necks but the tone just isn't for me. I'd rather trade this as its currently my backup bass. I'd like something of equal or lesser value (cash my way) as I don't have much in the way of funds. I'll consider all sorts, just not short scales, four string jazz basses, precision basses or pointy things (ask me if you're unsure as to what I'd count as pointy. ) Sale price is £300 with and £260 without the EMG. Price includes postage, original pickup* and a gig bag 'n' box. (*I can't install it I'm afraid, I don't have a soldering iron to fix the grounding.) Now, ladies and mentlegen, offers please!

Conan Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 You only after basses as trades? What about amplification/cabs?
bassamp Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Hi What about a straight swap for this? [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=129585"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=129585[/url] Cheers

I think this bass might be worth a little more too, sorry. Good luck with the sale! Edited April 4, 2011 by spaz91
tom1946 Posted April 6, 2011 Posted April 6, 2011 Perhaps if you show a pic of what you've filed away?

jonsparrow91 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Posted April 6, 2011 I honestly thought someone would have snapped this up by now.
mcnach Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 resigned bump. I was looking for one of these but gave up and bought new only last week!!! fantastic bass
jonsparrow91 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Posted April 8, 2011 Just to clarify, this isn't a feeler anymore.
jonsparrow91 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Posted April 11, 2011 I've changed the strings and the setup problem has fixed itself.
