Nibody Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 (edited) Having built two Precisions using Allparts and Fender parts that I am in love with, and needing to thin the flock, this has to go. 1993 Fender Made in Japan Photoflame precision. I have replaced the gaudy red Tort pickguard and replaced it with a Mirrored gold one, and fitted a bridge from a US 62RI with the threaded saddles (Bought from Jimbobothy). Other than that it is pretty much as it was when I took it in trade it from bagsieblue earlier in the year. I still have the red pickguard (seen a couple of early 90's fotoflames with this as standard) and I'll throw it in with the sale or trade. There is some damage to the rear by the chest cutaway and just below the lower horn and a few scuffs/scrapes, all of which were pre-existing, and I've tried to show these in the pics. Both the neck and body are stamped PB-62. Due to the bit of cosmetic damage/roadwear Ive priced it at a realistic £300 for a quick sale. Postage will come in at £20 on top of that. Comes with an Ernie Ball strap and Schaller type straplocks, and a Spider hard case from Fightcase Warehouse Id really prefer a straight sale, BUT if someone has an Ibanez Roadster rs900tv OR any combination of 62RI Pickups/70's Schaller style Fender Tuners/Decent quality (i.e. MIM or similair) P bass body plus cash.. might be swayed.

bagsieblue Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Yep - used to be mine. Great bass, great price, great fella. Half tempted to have this back but I need to sell not buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vmaxblues Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Sorry, what I mean is, the logo looks like a transfer job not an original, or have I missed something? bagsie is a top bloke and his kit is always good. I was just wondering whether this as an aftermarket transfer or a re varnish. I am actually interested in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d.e.n.i.s Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Have you still got the original bridge ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibody Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 As far as I know it's not a refinish, and they used transfers for the logo on these anyway. The only thing I've done to it in the short time I've had it is use some light burnishing cream to clean some DNA and tobacco residue from the headstock! Can't see any evidence of overspray and the logo is well under the lacquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibody Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 The original bridge was just a generic BBOT... unfortunately I have several in my parts box so it'd be dificult to guess which one it is. Main reason for getting one of the AVRI bridges fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagsieblue Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 [quote name='gareth' timestamp='1386882038' post='2306022'] bargain [/quote] Yes it is. The trade value on this in our deal was much more than £300 - someone snap his hand off will you? I've tried to look at my old thread to see if I have any more pictures of the headstock but I don't. Rest assured this is a genuine Fender neck, I got this off an old fella in Burnley who was packing up playing due to arthritis. - I seem to remember Mr Nibody took the neck off and put some pics up but I can't seem to find the thread. Pics showed the pencil markings on the neck as I recall. Great bass, does the P bass sound with aplomb and very lightweight for a Japanese P as I remember. Surely this won't last the night.

Nibody Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 It is light, and we're not cash flow a little rickety it wouldn't be going anywhere. Did the FSR end up staying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibody Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 In fact just had it out to look at the headstock... And looked at bank balance... Grrrrr... Second thoughts kicking in... I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] A 93 reissue, but the logo is 'right' for a 62... when the decal was applied on top of the final clear lacquer coat.

Did the FSR end up staying? [/quote] Funny you should ask - I've just had contact today with a guy from Liverpool from my Preloved ad from months ago........ Probably will be going at the weekend but I've put one last bump on it for the BC crowd, as I'd prefer it to stay in the BC party. Although got a nagging feeling I don't really want to sell it......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
