RobTheBass Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm having trouble posting the pics. Every time i click on the insert image icon it just asks for a URL rather than allowing me to select from my hard drive - any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Cheers for the pics, Rob - it's a beauty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcnach Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) I think there's a problem still when adding attachments (the way you'd upload a picture directly from your hard drive). The best way, always, is to host the images elsewhere (flickr and similar services allow you to do that for free, you just have to set up an account) and then display them here using the image link you describe, where you insert the URL. Try that. If you have problems with that, PM me, I'll give you my email address and you can just mail me the pictures, I will host them for you and give you the links to use as you please. edit: ah, I got there too late, I see Edited January 10, 2013 by mcnach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 That decal on the back of the headstock looks like the later version, not from '94. During '94 they were the embossed versions, not decal's. I'm assuming the certificate that it would have been issued with is long gone, which is a great shame, and will reduce value quite a bit unfortunately. It will have clear dates on the neck heel, and in the neck pocket of the body, which will show properly the exact dates anyway. I must say, it looks like a 2001 to me, as has already been suggested. I have a 2001 CS '51 P, but it's a different model entirely, and limited, with different serial system on the bridge plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I can't help thinking it's a bit butterscotch for a 2001, which are a bit blonder. Plus the knobs are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Also, may be worth contacting Bootzy, as he has one; [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/116578-precisions/page__st__540"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/116578-precisions/page__st__540[/url] He's called it a; Fender P55 P/J Custom Shop, which would be right with the contours, despite it being a top-loader. Is yours also a top-loader, or large ferrules? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobTheBass Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 This one is definitely a 1994 - the date on the neck is 30th Aug 1994 - hand written on as 8/30/94 - I've sent this pic to 'wateroftyne' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobTheBass Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 Just received this reply from Fender: [font=Calibri, sans-serif][size=4]Everything looks right for a late ’94 Custom Shop bass. There’s no order number in there so this was probably made for the artist and not run through the system in the normal way. [/size][/font] [font=Calibri, sans-serif][size=4]Because it’s pretty much a one off I don’t have any specs I can give you, but we would say it’s a genuine 1994 Custom Shop “Custom Precision Bass”.
