£180 - Squier CV 50's Precision - Lake Placid Blue - with a hard case

[Evil Undead]

This is a great bass. Low action, nice to play, sounds good, neck is dead straight, light weight, great balance, etc. Only reason I want to sell is because I can't get on with the lacquered finish on the neck.

It's got a nice grain on the neck, and the pickguard has been spray painted matt black which is holding up much better than I thought and hasn't worn off at all.

It's in good nick, only marks I can find is where the previous owner fitted a pickup cover - there are some scratches around the screw holes but they're barely noticeable. The pickup cover is included, and I'll include a hard case or a gig bag, whichever you prefer.

I've fitted Jim Dunlop dual design strap buttons, which I'll leave on.

Collection from Gloucester, or I can meet you at a train station if you pay my train fare up front (I don't wanna get stood up!)

Shame about the pickguard but never mind, is there a pic with the cover on?

Shame? I think it looks much better than a big slab of white plastic. But the paint would come off with a bit of white spirit on a cloth.

I can take a pic with the cover on.

I have a Japanese Fender 51 reissue. I had the neck VERY lightly sanded and the difference is amazing. You could try this and you might decide to keep the bass.

What about the pic with the cover on?

Thanks.

Definitely looks a lot better with the pup cover on.

I normally hate these P-Basses but I REALLLLLY like this. Stick a mirrored pickguard on it and I'll have it

...if I can pull £200 out of where the sun doesn't shine

Ha! Unfortunately I don't have a mirrored pickguard

These are great basses - I was amazed at the awesome quality stuff that Squier are putting out these days.

You going for the 'what Steve Harris played in the 1950s' look?

Haha yeah! That was my exact thought. Would like nice along side my Steve Harris signature model too!

Eh? I haven't received one...

[StevieD_FenderP2009]

Ah, I messaged you a couple of times as you had offered to sort out the finish on my checkerboard P bass like you offered months ago.

If you're still interested, I'd love you to sort it out for me

Cheers
