Cheap 1963 Pre CBS Precision

[paulmcnamara]

There's a very reasonable 63 Fender Precision going for £2700 at The Bass Gallery..... won't be around for long at that price even if it is a refin.

Cheers, Paul. (ps sale has nothing to do with me)

Its got a few tweaks (refin, rewound pickup, 1966 pot etc) but its very nice indeed. It does seem a great price Paul

Here's link for those who want a nosey http://www.thebassgallery.com/product_details.cfm?ID=2511&type=Bass%20Guitar

Not mine either!!!

That is a good price for sure . Just had a look at the New Arrivals page on The Bass Gallery website and they have got some pretty stunning stuff in at the moment , including an all original 1964 Jazz Bass , a '61 and a '65 Precision and a 1982 Musicman Stingray identical to my old one . If I was rich I would buy them all .

Looks very nice, I like that colour.

I am guessing the 82 Ray is the one that's for sale on BC by Squib http://basschat.co.uk/topic/197767-pre-eb-musicman-stingray/page__p__1950520#entry1950520 Very nice it is too, surprised noone's bitten

I am longing for a pre - EB Stingray at the moment , too . Looking at these basses has made me come over all vintage all of a sudden . Maybe I could scuff up my nice shiny new basses and pretend .

The one I sold to andytoad that he is selling is a beast and at a bargain price

I hate it when someone's BC username gives us no clue about them....

I was watching this on ebay but forgot to bid - it went for roughly £1500 so I was kicking myself

I have reduced my stock of rays and concidered selling all three to fund one bass, not sure what though, can't really have no rays without a name change can I?

I'm struggling a little to see how a '63 refin with non original pots is a bargain at £2,700?

I've seen more original pre CBS P's sell for less than this

I've had a look at that Pete , and it does indeed look stunning . I have also seen some nice Stingrays in the States recently , but the thing that is holding me back is that the rear pickup on my Reflex does the Stingray thing with aplomb , albeit with a slightly more focused sound than a 'Ray . The sensible part of my brain is telling me to spend my money on something more different to what I already have . I still want a Stingray , though .

[stingrayPete1977]

When did sensible ever equal fun though?!

I like to play my cards close to my chest Pete , but if you could see what I am thinking about doing with the money instead you would approve .

Oooh intrigued!
