SOLD: Harmony Precision Bass with Schaller BML Machines, Price Drop £90 collected

[Kev]

Got this bass as part of a trade a few months ago, toyed around with it but i'm afraid its just confirmed i am not a Precision bass guy!

Heritage of the bass is largely unknown, but as far as i can tell it is looks like a Japanese Harmony precision copy, probably hailing from late seventies/early eighties. All made very difficult as at some point it has been refinished in blue, couple cracks in the paint here and there but nothing major.

Bass has an old heavyweight brass bridge and a lovely brass nut and string retainer. The original tuner machines were knackered when i got it so i replaced them with a set of Schaller BML nickle tuners [[url="http://www.allparts.uk.com/online-shop/guitar-bass-parts/tuning-keys/bass/bass-tuning-keys/schaller-bml-bass-keys-original-style-buttons-3-p-2057.html"]http://www.allparts....s-3-p-2057.html[/url]]; as you will see from the pic it wasn't a straight swap and one of the original holes still shows but purely cosmetic and they hold in tune brilliantly; in fact i think the only time iv had to tune the bass since refitting is dropping from low E to D .

Intonates surprisingly well for an old P copy, seems to be in tune all over the neck and the action is pretty nice. Neck is lovely and aged, quite chunky as per typical P but straight and truss rod functions fine.

Tried to be as up front as possible about it, lovely little bass with big warm p sound, tone knob has a good amount of sweep and pickup covers are also nicely aged. Strung up very recently with a Extra Slinky Ernie Ball set, not really been played so they are basically brand new.


Relisting this again, had a few offers but nothing that ever actually turned into anything for one reason or another! I'm ideally looking to sell for, say, [s]£120.00[/s] [s]£110.00[/s] [s]£100.00 [/s] £90.00 collected from Leamington. Will ship for actual postage costs including insurance, which should be £105 or so.

Not really interested in trades but try me, worst i can do is say no.

I like the colour, and the way it tapers off behind the headstock

Don't have any scales, but i would estimate around the 8-9lb mark.
