Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 21, 2013 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!

No trades at the moment thanks. Collection preferred, can deliver within reason or a courier can be arranged at buyer's expense. Edited January 26, 2013 by Cosmo Valdemar
Lozz196 Posted January 22, 2013 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
foxthebiker Posted January 23, 2013 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.
Cyrene Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Just when i was thinking of selling mine too (cash woes) you go and change my mind for me.
Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 I feel my mind being changed...
dannybuoy Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 Stop this insanity now - you CAN justify two P-basses! Put flats on this and rounds on the Blazer!

Cosmo Valdemar Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 Bass now sold... It's gone to a loving home though.
Lozz196 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Ah well Ben, at least as you say, gone to a loving home.
