That is a beaut - a real "working" Precision.

Looks like it was founda t the bottom of a swamp. Could be nice with some work, barely worth the start price though i think. I think he's put a high buy now, to try and entice buyers into thinking the start price is a bargain.

If it plays nice though, could be a good player for someone at £800, worth a gamble though?, not sure, we'll see i guess?

"I am only selling it because it sounds great"

Sounds like a reason for keeping it

+1 to both, the BIN is laughable

Well I love it - if I had a spare £800, well I probably wouldn`t have it anymore!

That to me is exactly how I like a Precision - battered beyond belief. I`d do it to mine, but I like genuine wear, not fake, and think that this one has just been badly treated over many years. I`d def give it a home.

Yes I do not think its a bad bass - all looks genuine

The guard has been replaced which makes you wonder if anything else has - such as pups, pots, wiring - of course guard and neck off would be really helpful

[gareth]

also the knobs are replacements and i do not think they used the rubber/plastic gasket beneath the neckplate bank then

The ingredients for a fine players bass with a bit of vintage mojo at around the start price. Course , I haven't played it - could be a dog for all anyone knows that hasn't done so.
