Brother Jones Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) I've considered selling this bass before, but have withdrawn it because I enjoy playing it so much. It now really has to go, as I have terrible GAS for a Precision and I've had to face an agonising choice between selling this or my Sadowsky Jazz. It's a swamp ash body (I think...) with a tiger maple top, 24 fret carbon fibre neck and phenowood board. Pups are Bartolini Jazzes and the preamp is the custom option, with treble, bass and a rather helpful semi-parametric mid with three switchable frequencies for cut/boost. You can also tweak the preamp output level from a mini-pot in the electronics cavity. It sounds quite jazz-y, maybe a bit sweeter and a bit tighter. The action on these is phenomenally low - possibly the lowest I've ever used - and the neck is very, very fast. It's in absolutely mint condition and has nary a scratch nor ding on it. It has absolutely no issues whatsoever and is very well put together. £900 OVNO. I don't drive, so buyer would need to collect from London/Surrey area please. Thanks. *EDIT - Sorry guys, bought myself a sunburst/rosewood/tort Jap '62 Precision on a whim at the weekend, so no longer open to trades on this. However, price reduced from £1100 to £900. If it doesn't sell for that I will withdraw it. Edited August 5, 2008 by Brother Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Jones Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Came close to a deal. Other party pulled out, leaving me feeling unfulfilled. Cough. I'll try to post some soundclips this w/end (if I can find that pesky 3.5mm adapter) so you can hear how much better this is than a Warwick (no offence, etc...)

Apols for confusion chaps. They are anything but neck heavy. Perhaps because it's carbon fibre, the headstock is light relative to its size. I've just put new strings on this baby and I'm LOVING it.
