joe_bass Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Up for sale is a 2008 Fender American Deluxe Precision. The reason was originally going to be GAS related, but a few problems have come up the last couple of days & it now looks like I may have to shift a fair bit of gear to raise some funds... Anyway so up first is this beauty of a Deluxe Precision that I acquired recently from fellow basschatter reesource through a trade. It's a 2008 model in sunburst owned from new by the aforementioned BC'er. The model is the version with the split coil P pick up & double J humbucker at the bridge. It's strung through, 22 fret with scalloped heal & hipshot tuners. She plays beautifully & you can achieve a great range of tones thanks to the 18v preamp & it packs a lot of thump. The neck also feels very fast, which I'd never really attributed to a P bass before! Good condition except for a couple of dings on the body & some light surface damage on the back. These are only really noticeable on closer inspection though. Hopefully reesource doesn't mind me using his pics. The neck also has a couple of small dents (just about visible in the photo). Supplied along with the Fender moulded case, truss rod adjuster & leather strap & straplocks. SOLD[b][/b] Cheers Joe Edited August 8, 2011 by joe_bass
chrismuzz Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 The most versatile 4 banger ever made. Good luck with the sale!
mashup Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Hi there. Please could you tell me the weight of this bass & also, does it have an active/passive switch? Cheers
joe_bass Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 No active/passive switch. The bass is weighing in at about 8lbs on the scales. Thanks Joe
lucatus Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 I have the 4 string version, same year I think, and it's my main instrument right now. Amazing! Good luck with the sale!

joe_bass Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 Evening bump. Fair bit of interest outside of Bass Chat.
