eddiehoffmann Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 (edited) Hey guys! For sale here is my USA made Fender Precision 2007. It's the American Standard model ([b]SN Z7069828[/b]) in Candy Cola Red, maple fretboard and a black scratch plate. The scratch plate is a Fender original part, but not the one that came with the bass. The original one (cream) is also included (see pictures). I upgraded the pickups for the [b]DiMarzio Model P (DP122)[/b]. These are the pickups on the bass at the moment. The original Fender pickups are also included and nicely packed inside the DiMarzio case. The S-1 switching system, that enables you to switch the pickup wiring from series to parallel, has been disabled (since I never used it). The switch is still there though, so if you want you can have it wired again so it works with either the DiMarzios or the Fender pickups. Your choice. The bass comes in the original Fender hard case, with all the little papers, tags and the truss rod screw. I used this bass a lot, both live and in the studio, since I bought it from the Bass Gallery in December 2007. There are some tiny superficial marks at the back, I don't think they even qualify as buckle rash, nothing that goes through the finish (I couldn't properly show it in the pictures), a couple of dings on the headstock (only normal on a used bass, see picture) and three very minor dents at the back (see picture). This bass plays great! Great neck with a comfortable low action and with a really nice pattern on the maple. I also love what the DiMarzios did for the sound of the bass. It really does preserve the Precision's character, only adding some more punch and depth (the lows are unbelievable). The reason I'm selling it is that I just acquired through this very website my dream 70's P-Bass and I can't really afford to have two Precisions, specially because I'm putting money together to get a new car asap. I have a friend who's dying to buy the bass, but he won't have the money before December, so here it is. [b]Here's the deal: £650 collected from SW9. £680 posted anywhere in the UK. Alternatively, I can travel up to 100 miles to deliver the bass for petrol money. FINAL REDUCTION![/b] If nobody takes this lovely P 'till the end of the week I'm gonna save it for my mate in December, or keep it and maybe put an extra Jazz pick up to have a more versatile alternative bass. Anybody willing to come and try it is more than welcome. Check the pictures and also the links for the video and sounds.

CPBassman Posted October 22, 2011 Posted October 22, 2011 Thats a lovely P bass Eddie. 100% trustworthy is Ed, have no concerns dealing with the man. Have a bump
eddiehoffmann Posted October 23, 2011 Author Posted October 23, 2011 Ok guys, A lot of views, but no PM... I guess the price I was asking wasn't right then. I feel £700 is a fair price to pay for this bass comparing to other Precisions sold here. Great playing and superb sounding P-Bass! You get the DiMarzios for free and if you don't want to keep them you can try to sell them in here. Cheers Eddie

eddiehoffmann Posted October 24, 2011 Author Posted October 24, 2011 It is a beauty of a finish indeed. The mobile pictures definitely don't do it justice. I think it looks pretty sweet with the black scratch plate as well. It took me a while to find it when I was shopping for it. I could find P-Basses in any colour but this one. Anyway... Still here! Cheers
eddiehoffmann Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 Hey! If anybody wants to see this baby in action tonight, I'll be playing at the Queen of Hoxton from 19:30. Cheers

[/b] [/quote] Hey Eddie I really liked "In my room" - I tried to add a "like" and a comment but this would have meant I would have had to have joined the site - sorry, can't be doing with all that - best of luck with the songs..and the sale..
eddiehoffmann Posted October 27, 2011 Author Posted October 27, 2011 Thanks Greek! Unfortunately this band no longer exists. And it wasn't my fault. Meanwhile... The lovely P is still here.

The Tele is late 90's USA Hot Rod. I love that guitar too. It's my favourite guitar in terms of sound and playability. Unfortunately that one is gonna be buried with the bastard... Cheers
eddiehoffmann Posted November 1, 2011 Author Posted November 1, 2011 Late night bumpage! Ah... It's got almost new D'Addario nickel rounds on and I'm putting an unused set of the same strings in the case.
