absolutpepper Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fender-precision-bass-original-s1-usa-case-rare-/130545706773?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item1e65216715"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fender-precision-bas...=item1e65216715[/url] I'm a bit confused, this is a really nice looking precision however is it just me or is the second picture (the back of the headstock) a photo of a strat headstock - those dont look like the tuners or spacing of a P Bass headstock - convenient that thats the picture showing the serial number!! That, coupled with the 97% feedback sure puts me off. Any thoughts???
absolutpepper Posted July 15, 2011 Author Posted July 15, 2011 Doh this was meant for the ebay forum...sorry...mods please move. Ta Chris
Moos3h Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 That is the exact colour combo Westfield P basses are available in. Just sayin'.
Geddys nose Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 He's also selling a Strat so he mixed his picture up, easily done.
Papalampraina Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) Also, it's for local pickup, so the winner can check it upon collection. Probably, messed pics up. @Moos3h This colour combo "red-black pg-maple/maple neck" is very common for the previous standard MIA p-bass. At some point there were 2 selling on ebay.co.uk. I'd say hit it. I've heard only good things about this bass. Edited July 15, 2011 by Papalampraina
andydye Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 you've got plenty of time to query the photo with him before the auction ends, it can't hurt to ask the question... Also, I had an S-1 jazz bass which for me over complicated the controls (it never sounded quite right with the switch engaged either) and I was tempted to switch them out for some standard controls or put an East Retro in it...I sold it in the end as I realised my lack of love for Jazz necks was a higher priority than the controls...

JMT3781 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 only 10 mins form me, i can go and check it out for anyone seriously concerned, but im pretty certain its genuine, logo is spot on, and as someone elsse said, he is selling a strat
Jathan Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Email the guy and ask for the serial number and then phone Fender GBI and ask if they can check it out for you.. Best way to be sure
EssentialTension Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 (edited) The Strat serial (1998/9) is correct for the 1999 date in his Strat sale. Edited July 15, 2011 by EssentialTension
