Max Normal Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) I'm really sorry to post this again after pulling it, my missus wanted me to sell it to pay off the credit card after buying a new USA Precision, but when I found out how badly the USA sounded and played compared to this, I was so gutted that she felt sorry for me and said i could keep it (which is why i pulled the last ad). Now after the new MIA bass got a Wizard pickup installation, a new wiring job and a visit to the luthier to get the neck tweaked and the frets filed, I'm willing to let this MIJ bass I have had for years go. The only reason I'm getting rid of it is that it's the wrong colour/fretboard combination for my tribute band, and I no longer see the need to own 5 precison basses as I can only play them one at a time. I still think this is by far the better bass though, and you are welcome round mine to try them side-by-side too! So for trade is a beautiful-sounding and pretty roadworn 1985 vintage E-Series MIJ precision bass. I'd be interested in a decent Jazz Bass, or something interestingly different from a P-bass, but no 4-string fretlesses as i already have one. Negotiations on 5 and 6-strings welcome too. I do have the original Fender bridge by the way (albeit with one seized saddle screw), but it currently has a Gotoh-style one fitted. Everything else is original. If you want to hear what it sounds like, this clip was recorded last year played live in the studio with a classic rock band I was playing with then.

LukeFRC Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 These early Fender japan necks are some of the best. good luck with the sale. I have a similar looking and slightly earlier fender japan build and if it's anything like in the slightest it's a killer bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek99 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 It's lovely - I am astonished that a premium us model needs a new pickup though - the money they cost, it should be supplied with the best pickup in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
