M-Bass-M Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Hi For sale is my MIM Precision Special, affectionately known on Talkbass as the "Cowpoke". The serial number dates it at 1995/96, and the blond colouring has an attractive stained wood-look finish to it, which I'm not sure you can see in the pictures. The bass features a PJ pickup combination and active 9v pre-amp, with a stacked bass/treble boost and vol/blend controls. The original bridge has also been replaced with a high-mass Babicz bridge. THe neck profile is that of a Jazz, as opposed to Precision. The bass is generally in good condition, with a few knocks and dings on the edge of the bass which can be seen on the pictures - none of them can be seen from the front of the bass. On the back of the neck the "skunk stripe" is slightly raised every now and again. I haven't found it to interfere in any way with playing the bass. I have a box that the bass can be packaged and shipped in, with shipping costs covered by the buyer. The bass weighs 3.4kg / 7lb 7oz. Cheers Mark Edited February 20, 2014 by M-Bass-M
NoirBass Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I've got one of these, fabulous neck, great basses - GLWTS!
M-Bass-M Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 Bump. If it helps, then I could meet up at a location up to 30mins drive away from J7 of the M62. Cheers Mark
gjones Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I love these basses. If I had the spare cash I'd grab this in a minute. Good luck with the sale.
andy67 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Is this bass not the Stu Hamm urge signature Mexican made bass? My pal has the Mexican made precision special (says special on it too) and it's a big bit different from your one.
M-Bass-M Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 Not that I am aware of. There is definitely no reference to Stu Hamm anywhere on the bass, and the colour scheme is probably a bit too tame

Always wanted one - shame I don't live anywhere near the OP.

M-Bass-M Posted February 7, 2014 Author Posted February 7, 2014 Bump back to the top. I've had a few PM's regarding postage, I'm usually happy to post but unfortunately I don't have anything suitable to post the bass in!
M-Bass-M Posted February 12, 2014 Author Posted February 12, 2014 Mods - apologies for updating within 36 hours, but I wanted to update the thread with some important information. I have now found a box that I could pack the bass in, and so shipping within the UK is now an option. The weight of the bass is 3.4kg / 7lb 7oz for those interested. Thanks Mark
Georgesimooon Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Absolutely beautiful bass, surprised no one has snapped it up already
