Hi everyone

[color=#ff0000]EDIT: this bass is sold![/color]

here's the second of my basses to go up for sale this week; I am saving up for a nice mic for my studio.

This is a mid 90s Fender Precision 51 RI, sunburst and maple, made in Japan. Build quality is top-class, the bass is a brick s**thouse, lovely shiny gloss finish with just a couple of very minor hairline scratches. Beautiful grain to the wood and a pretty, vintage-looking 2-tone burst. You'd never know this bass was nearly 20 years old and I've gigged it a bit too.

I had the silly 50s-style 2-saddle bridge replaced at The Gallery with a standard Fender Precision 4-saddle bridge so intonation is spot-on.

Also the bass has Schaller straplock buttons on. I think they were gold originally but they have faded to somewhere between gold and chrome. I don't have the originals.

Pickup is original; the bass sounds killer. If you want to hear it in action, check out this video:

In this video you're hearing the bass clean through an SVT and 8x10. Proper old-school Fender tone like it should be.

Bass will be in an old rockbag/soft case type thing.

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]Looking for £450, pick-up only; not into sending it in the mail, apologies to those of you further afield. Bass is at a lockup in Staples Corner, North London. Going to give it a week on here; if no-one's up for it then I'll try ebay.[/size][/font][/color]

Here are some photos: I have used some from a couple of years ago that I took outside with an SLR which better show the colour and grain. Plus a few I took today on my phone.

Nice one :) BE
