Beedster Posted March 15, 2008 Posted March 15, 2008 (edited) Been going round in circles on keeping/selling this for a while. A stunning playing and looking bass, orig excpet for pots. Jazz profile neck just not working for me (you can see the noticably narrower neck profile than that of the '73 in the photo). Orig (black) pickguard available. Will trade for 70's Precision with fatter maple neck or £900 cash Chris PS it's the one on the right [attachment=6506:Precisions.JPG] Collection from Milton Keynes or meet on M1 somewhere. I will not post, sorry. Chris Edited March 22, 2008 by Beedster
Beedster Posted March 15, 2008 Author Posted March 15, 2008 I have original PUP and bridge covers and very old (possibly original) hard case also. Given that my only problem with this bass is the narrow nut, I'd consider a neck trade also Chris
King Tut Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I can feel a request for a loan coming on (from her who must be obeyed!!)
MythSte Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 And hes been back five minutes! Good luck with your search, Ive only played one 70's P and i was left somewhat uninspired, Got a feeling it was a bit of a lemon though. I really need to get my hands on some nice ones to see what all this fuss is about!
s_u_y_* Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Oh man... my anti-GAS New Year's resolution forbids me from buying any more basses. I think I'll just stay away from this thread from now on. That bass is too gorgeous for words!
Beedster Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 Thanks for the PMs and repiles folks, I guess I'm putting quite a few BCers out of their misery by telling you that a deal is pending Chris
tombboy Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 (edited) You're killing me! Only kidding! Good luck Chris! Jamie. Edited March 16, 2008 by tombboy
Beedster Posted March 18, 2008 Author Posted March 18, 2008 (edited) Trade wasn't really what I was looking for I'm afraid. I think I've found a good fat-necked Precision for sale, so I'm going to go for a straight sale for this. The bass is currently fitted with an SD SPB-3 quarterpounder and a BADASS II - it having a maple board I've been using it more for slap/funk. The PUP is currently wired straight to the output jack (can't see the point in rolling off the tone on an SPB-3, defeats the whole point in having it, and I never use the volume anyway ). Bridge, PUP and roundwounds provide a pretty contemporary Precision rock/funk/slap tone, albeit from a vintage instrument. However, I will sell the bass as is but WITH the original '75 Fender PUP AND original '75 Fender bridge for £950 (that's both bridges and both PUPs). That way you have the option of vintage tones with the original Fender parts (and I'll even bung in some flats), or more modern tones with the current setup. Can't say fairer than that I'm happy to meet buyer on the M1 somewhere. I also have to travel up North quite soon to deliver the Shergold I sold to Darren many moons back, so might be able to travel further if needs be. Chris Edited March 19, 2008 by Beedster
