Max Normal Posted April 27, 2012 Posted April 27, 2012 These are amazing, bet they sound as good as they look too, Was just saying how hugely better my E-series sounds than my 2011 MIA.

The more i sit and look at this pair, the more crazy i think I am, they are amazing, I'd regret it in an instant. I'm now digging out some other basses, that will be available on here soon, to make some space. A nice '58 Relic is being pulled out from under the bed as we speak.....

Telebass Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 [quote name='Rick's Fine '52' timestamp='1335523706' post='1632513'] Actually, a new spine would be of interest. I've had two lots of surgery on mine, the second of which involved some removal, and replacement with what can best be described as scaffolding, so I'll take your vertebrae as p/x if thats agreeable?? [/quote] Been there, done that, got the scaffolding! Four ops. Not nice. Have a bump for quite possibly the nicest pair I've seen for a while!

LukeFRC Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Rich. I know you are selling these as you have too little space. I have a solution! If space is at a premium a bass is a big big thing. Smaller things are therefore far more valuable. Looking around my room I see a number of small original star wars figures. Not only are they older than these basses (and vintage is more valuable) but they are also significantly smaller. So a small then 3 small things are worth more than two big things, this is a great deal for you, and because they are small and won't skew the deal too much, you can have a choice of ewok added in too. Small things for big, it's going to be a hardship having these big things, but for you mate
mckendrick Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 I'm some what aroused by these. Does the P have the raised A poles...?
EdwardHimself Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) £2500 for the pair? Yeah, they're nice, but that seems mad money for what is essentially a pair of squiers. I ought to buy a 90s squier, it's bound to be worth silly money in about 10 years time Edited July 12, 2012 by EdwardHimself

These are that price because there's hardly any made, especially in this original condition, they are highly sought after, and are the most accurate reissues ever made. Price is reasonable, I've seen these go for 31400 each, and not as early as mine either. You're right though, it is alot of money. value for money is a different thing though, and they are worth every penny.

[/quote] No, the '57 Precision has the raised poles for the A string, as the originals. These are both '62 Reissues, so flat poles on the P. Thanks for the question. Rick.

[/quote] Precision's didnt have string mutes, they just had a piece of foam stuck under the chrome bridge guard, as the Jazz basses did after 1962.
K-Dog109 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Wow. You must seriously need the space to even think about selling those two. I wouldn't give up my JV at gunpoint! Good luck with the sale though!
