gary mac Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) [center]Good quality, mostly Fender, Precision Bass.[/center] My crafted in Hertfordshire Precision bass project. Put together with all excellent parts which are listed below. It plays extremely well, feeling and sounding like a good instrument should. I’ve used it for a few gigs over recent months and it really worked well in the band setting and received a good number of complimentary comments. Acoustically it is very resonant and amplified it really has something to say for itself. Currently strung with a set of DR High Beams 45-105’s. Happy to swap these out for a nearly new set of D’Addario Chrome Flats if preferred. The neck is from a Classic Vibe Precision, I have sprayed the headstock and applied the Fender decal. It has not been done to try to con anyone, check the photos. The fret work is very good and there is no wear. Width at the nut is 41 mm. The neck/body fit is extremely good. The twenty two year old body is in amazingly good condition, just a couple of small dents that haven’t cracked the paint. Nothing bad enough to show up in the photos. The whole thing comes in at a shoulder friendly weight of 8lb 14 oz. Although the price might seem a little high for a home build, I’m not looking at making a profit, just hoping to recoup most of my outlay. It seems a shame to strip down and sell the parts when and instrument works well, so I’ll leave the ad on here for a while and see if there is any interest. Components are as follows: Body is a 1991 Japanese 62 Reissue. Neck and tuners from a Classic Vibe P bass. (Fender 70’s decal applied, I’ve left the Squier details on the rear). Gotoh bridge. Kiogon wiring loom/harness. Genuine Fender Gold Anodized Pick Guard. Fender 62 r/i flat top, knurled knobs. Fender 62 r/i strap pins. Fender 2012 neck plate. Guy Lewis Hard wood thumb rest/tug bar. Seymour Duncan quarter pounder pick ups. If preferred I can swap the very lovely Gotoh bridge for a standard Fender unit and adjust the final price down by £20. I’m happy for BC’ers to visit and try it out. Would prefer collection but if you want it posted let me know and I will get a quote. (probably around £20 as I will need to source a box and plenty of bubble wrap). Payment by bank transfer or cash if collecting.
