LiamD Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 (edited) Decided to sell this lovely US Deluxe Fender Precision Bass, it has the fender 18 volt 3 band active preamp and its the older version with the big fat humbucker pickup. You can get a good variety of tones from this using the pickup blend control, from good old precision tone to a dirty growl from the humbucker. As you can see from the photos there a few marks I've tried to show you them in the photos; the top strap button currently has a black one as I had to use it in an emergency but when the bass is sold I will put a matching pair of chrome schaller locking strap buttons on it. I have recently had it set up with a new set of DR Handmade Hi Beams and it plays like a dream, I tried to include a photo to show the action of the bass. It comes with the original fender hard shell case, which it fits in nice and snug; so I'm happy to ship it if you wish. (I've used UPS to ship many instruments internationally and I've never had a problem). I'm based in Essex if you want to have a look and I can deliver locally, and also maybe a bit further away as well. I will of course consider offers on this bass, so please, fire away! Any questions just ask.

LiamD Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 I'd also be interested in the status vintage type basses or a gibson grabber/ripper or Rd Artist bass. If you want to come and have a look I'm based in essex but can deliver locally, I will also ship it via ups if you are not local, I've shipped many instruments internationally using ups without any problems.

Ghosts Over Japan Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 If I were ever going to get a precision this would be it. Stunning. Cai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 It plays beautifully as well, I never used to be a precision fan then I bought this after I sold my Stingray and I've fallen in love with them. If you have a nice US precision of any sort get in touch as I may well be insterested, as long as it has 4 strings and frets (couple of years and I'll be after a fretless) I'm interested. I do prefer a maple neck/fingerboard though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 This is still up for sale, but I'm still really interested in a trade for a 70's Precision (plus cash your way of course), any condition considered but prefer a maple neck. The more 'beaten' the better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamD Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 I could really do with this being sold ASAP as I've found a bass I'm desperate to buy, so I will consider silly offers. I may still be interested in a trade (plus cash your way) for a 70's precision or a musicman sabre or a status vintage series so if you have anything just let me know...

LiamD Posted September 24, 2013 Author Share Posted September 24, 2013 I will still consider offers on this bass, also just to set a few things straight... The actual strap button has never been ripped out or even loose I think the paint has worn from the movement of a strap or something, the reason it has the black button on it at the moment is that for some reason the strap lock wouldn't actually lock into the original one and I had a gig that night so I quickly swapped it with one from another instrument and I hadn't got round to replacing it when I took the photos.[b] I will fit new strap buttons when it sells.[/b] The bass has been fitted with flatwounds all its life so the frets are like new, I've only just fitted a nice new set or DR Hi Beam roundwounds so it would be easier to sell. The bass plays beautifully, the neck is very nice for a Precision, I think it is slimmer than standard as it feels more like a Jazz to play. The marks on the fretboard are not dents or chips, you can only just feel them under your finger and where they are they do not effect playability. The finish is excellent on this bass and there are no other marks on it, it has been very well looked after and I don't believe the photos really do it justice. I'm kind of in a hurry to sell it now as something has popped up, so I will consider all offers so just get in touch and see what I say, anything else just ask.

LiamD Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 I've just put this beauty on Ebay now, as I've put the deposit down on a bass. I'll take £600 cash for it now though, and I can remove the ebay listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
