mr_russ Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) I've spent the last year gradually moving back to 4 string basses and now this lovely instrument isn't getting used hardly at all, on the rare occasion I need those extra low notes I'm either detuning or using my synth. 5 string Fender Precision White / Tort - rosewood fb Original case included, although it does have a dink at one end it'll still do the job nicely Condition is very good, some minor playing wear but no big dings or cracks. Low B is EXCELLENT and balanced with the other strings, up there with the best low B's I've had on an instrument - including Lakland, MM, Sadowsky, Fender finally got it right this time. Weight is low: [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]8.5-9lbs / 3.85-4kg[/font][/color] More information here: [url="http://www.fender.com/products/americanstandard/models.php?prodNo=019056"]http://www.fender.co...p?prodNo=019056[/url] [s]Price is £780 plus shipped[/s] [b]Dropped to £750 collected/meet up/plus shipping[/b] Not looking for trades this time as I've got a Canon 5d2 to pay for.

Sibob Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 I have the Jazz equivalent and Fender really know how to make a good 5 IMO. Seriously considered exchanging my J5 for the P5, but never quite made the jump. Good luck, looks like a beauty! Si
mr_russ Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 Also guys, I'm not looking for a trade this time round as I've got a Canon 5D mk2 to pay for Thanks for the trade offers already sent though R
silverfoxnik Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Beautiful bass Russ! I can see why you are interested in cameras... Hope all's well with you and good luck with the sale. Nik
mr_russ Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 Cheers Nik, I might go to town on some decent pics if I get time this weekend ;D
mr_russ Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 Bump - £825 shipped - take £25 off if collected
dave_bass5 Posted April 26, 2012 Posted April 26, 2012 I had one of these, i really miss it but dont have any funds to buy this. I agree about the low B. Just as good as my Laklands were IMO.
d_g Posted April 28, 2012 Posted April 28, 2012 Are you able to find out the exact weight? I'm, reluctantly, look for a light replacement for my Lakland 5er after a back injury and this fits the bill!
mr_russ Posted April 29, 2012 Author Posted April 29, 2012 Just weighed it on some bathroom scales, clocks in at a comfortable 8.5-9lbs / 3.85-4kg Russ
dodgnofski Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 Wow, absolutely stunning, pity I'm way to stupid to play a 5 string - type bump
WalMan Posted May 6, 2012 Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) This'll be an "I'm getting back into passive but DAMMIT I have no ready funds at the mo" bump Edited May 6, 2012 by WalMan
