Pestie Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Here she is. My gorgeous Fiesta Red CV Precision. I don't want to sell this but as usual I have too many and I need to thin out the collection. This is a beautiful bass, medium weight and ever so well balanced, it just feels right. This Chinese factory certainly got this one right! I have carried out the following very positive mods to this bass:[list=1] [*]I have added a Tone Rider Vintage P pickup. Cloth covered wires and very vintage P sounds. [*]CTS USA pots [*]Switchraft USA jack socket [*]Orange Drop Cap [*]Bridge Cover [/list] She is strung with LaBella flat wounds and sounds absolutely lovely. There is on little ding on the headstock which can hardly be seen and a little paint chip by the rear strap button which I have managed to photograph. You can't see this chip when you have a strap on. Apart from these the bass is perfect and looks just lovely. This is a very nice P bass. I live near Chipping Norton and you are welcome to come and try it. Alternatively, I am happy to ship at the buyers expense. Thanks for looking Mike(Pestie) Pics soon [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/FiestaRedCVPrecision001_zps0ff387e8.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/FiestaRedCVPrecision003_zpsf0fd5394.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/FiestaRedCVPrecision006_zpsc25c2959.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/FiestaRedCVPrecision005_zps3cf3310a.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/Mikevickers1/media/FiestaRedCVPrecision002_zpsb5674bf1.jpg.html"][/url] Edited March 18, 2014 by Pestie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott S Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Mike, I've got an identical one that you sold to Funkle a while back. I was about to put it up for sale on here because I've upgraded to a US Precision. 176 views and NO replies...blimey, is the market slow or what? These basses are quality.

Pestie Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks for your really nice comments. These certainly are quality and very under rated. I don't know why they sit for a while. But I am sure there is someone who will love it as much as we do!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I played one of these the other day, though not plugged in. Typical shop setup but lovely neck and very resonant. I thought it felt fab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sblueplanet Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Gutted Squier didn't make a lefty model of this. Tried one in a store when they came out. Great bass for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
