solo4652 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Bump-up for a really nice 2008 USA Precision in virtually unmarked condition. I'll leave my first post (below) unedited so that the subsequent posts make sense in relation to it. Full details of the bass are at post no. 12. Steve Hi, I'm selling my base guitar 'coz I don't play it no more. Looks like this: [attachment=104300:001 (2).JPG] Any questions? Just ask...

binky_bass Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 A slightly more comprehensive ad will help you sell it man, i.e. condition, year, model number, case/no case etc and a few more high res pics of the fretboard, headstock etc will defo help too! Oh, and its BASS not BASE good luck bud! Russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjohn Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I once bought a very cheap MIM P on ebay listed as a base guitar. I was the only bidder and won it for £150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solo4652 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) Folks, I'm concerned that some people may have misinterpreted my attempt at a self-bumping "For Sale" post. To avoid any further possible confusion, here's what's happening; I really do have a lovely MIA 2008 Precision for sale. Here's the spec: Serial no: Z8091250 2008, black body, maple neck and fingerboard, white/black/white try-ply scratchguard, high-mass bridge and carbon-reinforced neck. Completely unaltered except for the Status halfwound strings. Comes with Fender SBK hard case, with all the bits and bobs: Truss-rod tool, Owner's manual, case key, allen keys, unused Fender strap. It's never been gigged. I've taken it to a few rehearsals and to a few gigs as a back-up to either my G&L or my Ibanez Blazer. Consequently, it's in really nice condition with only the very faintest hint of buckle-rash on the back. Other than that, I'm struggling to find any marks at all. I'm selling it because it's too nice to be sitting at home unused or merely taken out as a backup. The last thing I want is for some drunken punter to trip over it at a boisterous pub gig. Anybody who is interested is most welcome to come round and try it out. I'm at home most of the time. Photos: [attachment=104409:002 (2).JPG] [attachment=104411:003.JPG] [attachment=104412:011.JPG] Send me your email by PM if you want any more information, or a specific camera angle. Hope that clarifies the situation. Peace. Steve Edited April 23, 2012 by solo4652 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you BaCraped? [/quote] Well, my plan was for a "teaser" campaign where I drip-fed information over a period of time to periodically re-kindle interest and bump the thread. Seems I misjudged it.

bigjohn Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) It's like mine, but like a negative. Maple/white/black vs Rosewood/black/white. I'd buy it but I'd be frightened of ripping a hole in space/time if they're were kept in the same room. PS. I was unsure of the ultralights on a P bass but now I'm a convert.
