PRICE DROP! £950 [s]£1100[/s]

I'm selling my 50th Anniversary USA Precision Bass. I may live to regret it.

My loss will definitely be someone's gain. Ok... here's the absolute truth... I went and ordered one of the Fender Custom Shop 64 Relic P Basses online. I'm currently in my flat waiting for it to be delivered. I've been craving that Sunburst/Tort/Rosewood look for about a year. I know in my heart it's not going to play as well as this bass does. But this is what we do, right? I wish I could afford to keep both. If the CS is a complete dud maybe I'll change my mind. But, like I say, my loss... your gain.

This is one of approximately 400 manufactured in the USA in 2001. Well known for being one of the best off-the-shelf Fender Basses in recent times.

Here are the full specifications:

Body: Ash
Neck: Maple (Maple Capped plus Graphite Reinforced)
Fingerboard: Maple (9.5" Radius/241mm)
Frets: 20 Medium Jumbo
Scale Length: 34"
Width at Nut 1.625"
Hardware: Chrome
Bridge: Standard. (String-through body)
Pickguard: Black Annodized Aluminium
Pickups: USA P Bass
Unique Features: Vintage Tint on Neck, Commemorative 50th Anniversary Neck Plate, Rolled Fingerboard Edges, Certificate of Authenticity, Orange-lined Tweed Hardcase.


This bass is such a joy to play. The neck is the most comfortable I have ever played. The action is low with no buzzes. Despite having been gigged countless times, the frets are approx. 99.9%. I'm sure they went all out when they designed this model. It's virtually indestructable. There are a few little dings here and there, nothing major.

I bought the bass in 2007 and it has been my primary instrument since then. I bought it from the bass player of a band called Thirteen Senses. You can see the bass in use in their 'Do No Wrong' video on YouTube

Comes complete with it's tweed hardcase and certificate of authenticity.

I'm based in South London if you'd like to come and try the bass out. I will be sad to see it go.

Here it is onstage with Brian May. (Shameless plug)

Thanks for looking,

I got one of these from another BC member about a year ago as I was about to join a band where a passive P sound would fit most of the set list. They are indeed an excellent bass and it is currently my main gigging instrument. Hope you find a buyer.

Don't normally like maple fingerboards, but it goes really well with this finish.
Can you tell me the weight please?
Despite your other arrival any trades?

ATB Paul.

Hi Paul,

It's just under 4.5kg according to my bathroom scales. Not light but by no means a back-breaker. Not looking for any trades at the moment unfortunately. The Custom Shop P arrived yesterday and at the minute I need to recoup the cost of that.

Cheers, Chris.
