xzodar Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Hi All Up for sale is my Mim FenderDeluxe Active Precision Bass Special in Chrome Red with a single ply gold pick guard. Some pictures or the bass are available to view at [url="http://gallery.me.com/pete.nichols#100045"][color="#0f72da"]http://gallery.me.co....nichols#100045[/color][/url] Please feel free to email me if you need additional info or pictures. Here's a link to the same bass from Gak: [url="http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-active-p-bass-special-chrome-red-rosewood/15788"]http://www.gak.co.uk/en/fender-active-p-bass-special-chrome-red-rosewood/15788[/url] The bass is in really good condition with only a couple of small marks and can generate a nice range of punchy tones and has the benefit of the bridge pickup for those times when you want more than what is available with the standard precision pickup. There is a small patch on the headstock which is lighter due to the previous owner having a sticker on the headstock. There are also two screw holes where a bridge cover has been fitted at some point. I'm looking for £350 for this one collected from Bristol or I'm happy to meet up within an hours drive of Bristol. Shipping at additional cost. The bass comes supplied in a generic ABS hard case. Blurb from Fender... For bassists who dig today’s active lifestyle, Fender offers the stylish and thunderous Deluxe Series Active P Bass Special guitar. This huge-sounding hybrid model features an alder body adorned with a single-ply beveled gold vinyl pickguard and a maple Jazz Bass guitar neck (modern C shape) with a 20-fret, 9.5”-radius rosewood or maple fingerboard. On board are a standard alnico split single-coil Precision Bass pickup (middle) and a dual-coil ceramic Noiseless™ Jazz Bass pickup with nickel-plated pole pieces (bridge) with pan-pot switching. Controls are master volume, pan, and three-band active EQ with treble boost/cut (+/- 10 db at 8kHz, a shift in the cut frequency, and about a 2dB slope per octave), mid boost/cut (+10dB, -15dB at 500Hz, and a wide band slope) and bass boost/cut (+/- 12db at 40Hz, with a 4dB slope per octave). Other features include chrome hardware, American Vintage Precision Bass bridge, side-mounted jack and deluxe gig bag. Truly an amazing instrument. Cheers Pete
Leon Transaxle Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Hi, This ticks just about all the boxes for me. P body, Jazz neck 2PUs and what looks like a not too glossy neck. I thought I wanted my next bass to have maple board but looking at the GAK pages this looks wrong with a maple neck. Clashes with the gold 'plate. Slap in my price range so.... ...PM'd
