Shambo Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) For your consideration is a Squier Classic Vibe 60's Precision. This is one of the earlier models and is I believe the surf-tastic 'sonic blue' colour. Chances are, (you're on a bass guitar forum after all), you know exactly what this instrument is all about. I've had no qualms about being seen in public with it, a beginners/improver/backup bass thats eminently gig-able, but only managed a couple of rehearsals in my company. A familiar story, I bought it as a backup for some of the rough arsed gigs when I was too nervous to take my american jazz. Also I'd never owned a P-bass and it was an itch I needed to scratch. Not long after buying it the band went tits up, and it's spent most of the year sulking under the bed in my spare room, whilst my posher bass get lavished with attention. It was bought from Soloshchenko of this parish almost a year ago, and the only difference in it's condition now is that I've sheilded the cavity with copper tape. Stock condition apart from Schaller strap locks and a missing tugbar, it comes with a Fender strap. I don't have any scales but it's quite a bit lighter than my american standard Fender. It's currently wearing Fender flatwounds and has been set up by KGB guitars of Birkenhead. I'd like £200 collected from the Merseyside area. No offers please. Next day postage is £20. No trades please [s]unless you have an Electro-Voice RE20 or Heil PR40 microphone in good working order. That's what this sale is going towards funding.[/s] I don't have any photographs but here's a link to the original advert in the hope Soloshchenko doesn't mind.

Shambo Posted September 1, 2012 Author Posted September 1, 2012 For a bit of added value, I'll include the upgraded P bass wiring I won't be having any more use for. Thats x2 250k solit shaft CTS pots, a switchcraft jack socket and orange drop cap all cloth covered wired together with my very amateur but serviceable soldering skills. Ready for the after market pickup of your choice, (before you ask, mine was a Wizard Trad P which has been sold). You don't have to have 'em if you don't want 'em. You're still getting the stock squier electrics & pup as well... obviously.
uncle psychosis Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Thats pretty much my ideal bass. Shame I'm skint
Gilby Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Very tempted but alas pee poor, unless you're interested in a 6 string yam 500 electro acoustic.

[/quote] Sorry Gilby, not looking for an acoustic guitar ATM, only the mic's mentioned above.
Gilby Posted September 1, 2012 Posted September 1, 2012 Fair play, if it's still available in a week, maybe two, I may have spare cash. (on me holibobs soon, so I can't commit presently). I'm in the west midlands so collecting wouldn't be a hardship.
Shambo Posted September 4, 2012 Author Posted September 4, 2012 Put the stock Squier electrics back into this bass yesterday and it sounded really good! I'm not sure why I felt I needed to upgrade them. It was also in tune after not being touched since the spring.
Shambo Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 It's now bubble wrapped and double boxed and I can offer UK postage at £20.
Gilby Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Stop teasing me. I'm having a really frugal short break/ holiday because of this !
Stuee Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Hey Shambo, do you have a pic of the serial number please? Or could you at least post the number here? Many thanks, Stuee.
Shambo Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 [quote name='Stuee' timestamp='1347491783' post='1801747'] Hey Shambo, do you have a pic of the serial number please? Or could you at least post the number here? Many thanks, Stuee. [/quote] It took me over two hours to bubble wrap, pad and double box the guitar before I got a quote for shipping. I'm a bit reluctant to take a stanley knife to my over zealous and paranoid packaging to make a note of the serial number... and I don't own a camera, I was hoping the pics in the previous for sale thread would suffice.
Stuee Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 Ah yes, that would make it tricky. It would also make it tricky for anyone to come & try it out Ok, when was it made?

Anybody who would like to come and try the bass would be most welcome. Tea/coffee & biscuits for all visitors. Edited September 13, 2012 by Shambo
sellisnba Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Are you flexible on price or is it a firm £220 posted? Cheers
Shambo Posted September 18, 2012 Author Posted September 18, 2012 That price is firm. I don't have a pressing need to sell, I just thought somebody else could have the pleasure... and it's worth it.
Shambo Posted September 20, 2012 Author Posted September 20, 2012 Honestly, no trades for guitars please people. I don't play one and I've never wanted to try.
