Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) *BASS NOW SOLD* I bought this bass brand new in October of last year - it's hardly been played and is in pristine, as-new condition. Honey blonde finish, which looks far better in the flesh than on the Fender website. It's a superb bass, pretty much all I could want in a P bass, but I can't really justify keeping 2 P basses - it came down to this and my Ibanez Blazer, and I can't bring myself to sell ol' faithful Blazer! I think I will regret this but needs must! And I've said it before, but these 50s Precisions just have the greatest necks. This one in particular has a beautiful flame to the maple, very different to the usual plain necks you find in this range. The bass comes with a Fender gig bag as originally supplied. Link to original thread posted when I bought the bass - pics within!

shemeckfrac Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Is it MIJ or MIA ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 It's probably MIM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) This is a fantastic bass, I`ve played it (and also owned one myself) and the quality/sound of these - and this one in particular - is amazing. to anyone wanting a quality Precision, this would be a very good buy indeed. These basses are MIM, but (to me) they are much nicer than regular MIMs. They are reputed to have US Standard Pickups in them, and over on Talkbass there was a thread showing an e-mail from someone at Fender who confirmed this. I just wish I was flush at present, I`d snap this one up. Edited January 22, 2013 by Lozz196 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxthebiker Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yep I wish I was flush too. Owned one of these puppies and wish I never sold it. I think it's the best colour on offer too. The necks are awesome and the pups too. Got to love the vintage machine heads and bridge and that scratchplate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannybuoy Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Stop this insanity now - you CAN justify two P-basses! Put flats on this and rounds on the Blazer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
