warwickhunt Posted September 30, 2012 Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) Manufacturer: Fender Model: Precision ('54 reissue 'Flower Power') Country of origin: Japan Body: Basswood (...I think!) Neck: Maple Fingerboard: Maple Pick-ups: Original Preamp: N/A Hardware: Original. Bridge - Thrubody. Tuners - reverse Finish: Original Case/Gigbag: N/A but could add 'new' Fender C&G at used cost Extras: N/A Weight: 8lb 10oz Positives: Excellent condition. No worming or dings other than a 2-3mm one near the jack socket. Recessed output socket replaced. Negatives: See above; socket replaced for better quality and non-recessed type. Price: [s]£500[/s] £450 I believe these reissues were only made for a couple of years, so may well be sought after in years to come. I'll include a brand new and boxed Seymour Duncan 'Vintage' pick-up; it wasn't bought for this bass (was to be fitted to a 'Sting' bass) as the pup sounds excellent but it gives you the option if you want to swap around. This model has the more comfortable forearm contouring. Edited April 3, 2013 by warwickhunt
Bassman Rich Posted October 1, 2012 Posted October 1, 2012 Great looking and playing basses, I have the Pink Paisley one, and unlike all of my Precisions and Gibson Ripper, its a F***y magnet at gigs, unlike the fat old grumpy bassist who plays it

uncle psychosis Posted November 8, 2012 Posted November 8, 2012 Lovely. Really lovely. If my lottery numbers come up I'll be in touch!
warwickhunt Posted December 19, 2012 Author Posted December 19, 2012 [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Just to confirm that the bass comes with the stock pup AND a brand new boxed Seymour Duncan 'Vintage' jobbie AND a brand new sealed pkt of D'Addario strings.[/font][/color]

Dr.Dave Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Just like mine - so it'll be light and very , very playable. Mine's out every weekend while my 73 Precision and my Shuker stay home. That says something about the quality of it. If it wasn't for the fact that I have one I'd have this one - so you should instead. Imortality awaits the new owner who will at least be remembered by Joe Punter as 'some bloke with a flowery bass' - which is a step up for most of us !
warwickhunt Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) [quote name='karlfer' timestamp='1356124084' post='1907274'] Bump for a gent (no, not you Dave ) [/quote] Cheers. <edit> Just to say that I've used the spare set of strings that I have to freshen another bass of mine so the bass is sold as is with no spare strings.

Black Coffee Posted January 5, 2013 Posted January 5, 2013 At the risk of sounding rude..... can this be deflowered if you wanted to buy it....?
warwickhunt Posted January 5, 2013 Author Posted January 5, 2013 Alas the lady would need to be rubbed down quite roughly to 'deflower' her!

nottswarwick Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I've got the exact matching telecaster guitar of this. Great stuff
Chris Horton Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 [quote name='warwickhunt' timestamp='1358070798' post='1932482'] No 'flower power' love? [/quote] I have lots of love for these basses. As previous people have mentioned , these are really well built basses with a very versatile tone and the bass is also nice and light ! I have a pink one and I'm almost tempted to have this to make the set
warwickhunt Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 Just think of the colour options that the blue one will open up for gig wear... and it'll match your eyes!

warwickhunt Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 ...and if anyone else wants to buy who hasn't got blue eyes, I'll knock a fiver off so that you can get some coloured contact lenses!
warwickhunt Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 Final reduction to £450 for the bass; no case/gigbag (it WILL be well packaged if being couriered) no spare pup.
warwickhunt Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 Is a pink one worth £500+ MORE or is mine too cheap? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fender-Precision-Bass-1954-Paisley-Reissue-CIJ-2002-/330872571195?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item4d098ac53b
