TorVic Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) I recently bought this bass from geofio but I have to relocate soon and have to reduce the number of basses to carry with me. Since this was the last one in and I really haven't spent much time with it. I am selling it for the same price that I bought it for. The bass has a whole bunch of upgrades and is in excellent condition. (One thing I noted is that the top half of the knurled chrome volume knob seems to have been filed to a slightly lower level. It gives it a better and doesn't show too obviously.) <snip> (The original sale thread can be found here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/162115-fender-precision-62-re-issue-cij-2005-l550-sold/page__p__1461376#entry1461376"]http://basschat.co.u...76#entry1461376[/url])[list] [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Fender precision 62 Reissue, Crafted in Japan, Alder body, Maple neck, [/font][/color] [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Upgrades: Active EMG pickups, Badass II Bridge in mint condition, Brand new G&G Fender Vintage Case.[/font][/color] [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Upgrade: The backplate was upgraded to the Fender F[/font][/color] [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Upgrade: The tuners are the high quality fender tuners found on the american Jazz and Precisions, [/font][/color] [*]*Original pickups are not available* [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] as the tech from guitar guitar kept them as part of the upgrade[/font][/color] [*][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Upgrades fitted by a Luthier at Guitar Guitar.

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I learned to play the bass guitar on a Precision copy and playing this instantly brought back memories of it.
