[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]Hi everyone[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#222222]So... this bass was sold about a year ago to a happy customer but when he had to move it on a month later he offered me first refusal and I bought it back. I'm putting this up for sale again as I have several other Pbasses and this one doesn't get much use. Has been in its case for the last year so the photos and description are still accurate. Here's the ad again, copied over from the old thread:[/color][/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]"This is a mid 90s Fender Precision 51 RI, sunburst and maple, made in Japan. Build quality is top-class, the bass is a brick s**thouse, lovely shiny gloss finish with just a couple of very minor hairline scratches. Beautiful grain to the wood and a pretty, vintage-looking 2-tone burst. You'd never know this bass was nearly 20 years old and I've gigged it a bit too.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I had the silly 50s-style 2-saddle bridge replaced at The Gallery with a standard Fender Precision 4-saddle bridge so intonation is spot-on.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Also the bass has Schaller straplock buttons on. I think they were gold originally but they have faded to somewhere between gold and chrome. I don't have the originals. (EDIT got some chrome ones on there now so you can have either)[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Pickup is original; the bass sounds killer. If you want to hear it in action, check out this video:[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]In this video you're hearing the bass clean through an SVT and 8x10. Proper old-school Fender tone like it should be.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Bass will be in an old rockbag/soft case type thing.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][size=4]Looking for £450, pick-up only; not into sending it in the mail, apologies to those of you further afield. Bass is at a lockup in Staples Corner, North London.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Here are some photos: I have used some from a couple of years ago that I took outside with an SLR which better show the colour and grain. Plus a few I took today on my phone.[/font][/color]

Having been said prior interim owner, I`d take this back in an instant if it weren`t for the fact that I`m having to sell basses at present myself to cover a recent rather large purchase. GLWTS Ben.
