Lozz196 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) ITEM NOW SOLD One 2004 US Precision, with Villex P/J Pickups and Villex sweepable mids tone control. Great player, sounds fantastic, the Villex pickups are pretty hot, and the sweepable tone control, rather than cutting highs, just scoops the mids, so with the combination of the P & J pickups, this is a really versatile bass. For the weight-conscious, it`s exactly 9lbs. Comes with Fender hard case and case-candy. Ok, are there any the bad bits? Well as shown in the pics there are a couple of little dings on the bodywork. On the back of the neck there are some incredibly fine cracks in the poly/varnish/whatever it is. These don`t affect the playability at all. I`ve tried to capture this in the pic of the back of the neck but whether or not you can see it from there is whether your eyes are good enough. Like I say, these are incredibly fine. So £630 gets this to your door, within the UK. Happy with bank transfer or Paypal (ne fees ta) or cash on collection. If you do collect I`ll of course knock off the cost of the courier. And if you`re not too far away but can`t drive I`ll hand-deliver for the above price, and a cuppa/bikkie. No trades thanks, am offloading gear. Edited October 25, 2014 by Lozz196
acidbass Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Lovely bass! P/J is my favourite pickup combination - so much versatility and real growl! GLWTS
Lozz196 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 [quote name='TheGreek' timestamp='1410460294' post='2549745'] Deja Vu??? You selling a P bass... [/quote] Some things are set in stone Mick, like the sun rising in the east, and me buying/selling P-Basses................
franzbassist Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Hi Lozz Ooh that is nice. I assume at 9lbs it has no neck dive? How would you characterise the sound from the Villex setup, and how are the onboard controls configured? Cheers Gareth Edited September 14, 2014 by walbassist
theyellowcar Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Nice bass Lozz. How many P's will this leave in the stable? For others' interest (as my rack is full) is this a P or J neck?

Cheers Gareth [/quote] No neck dive Gareth, it`s a nicely balanced bass all round. The Villex pickups are more modern sounding than regular Fender, more articulate. And more aggressive too. The controls are volume/volume/tone (which is mid scoop/boost). [quote name='theyellowcar' timestamp='1410695558' post='2551993'] Nice bass Lozz. How many P's will this leave in the stable?

Foxx Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 NIce, looks even better with the tort guard on than it did the black one!

[/quote] Thanks Ben, yes a genuine Fender tort guard at that (and added tug-bar for vintagey looks). Shame I`m having to sell this as it really does what I wanted, but funds are needed elsewhere unfortunately.

Shockwave Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 Really do love this. I think I remember it popping up a while back too.
Thunderbird Posted September 22, 2014 Posted September 22, 2014 This should be sold it is a great price for one of these and being one of Lozz's basses it will be in tip top condition also
Lozz196 Posted September 25, 2014 Author Posted September 25, 2014 Thanks guys, it is a great bass but a larger rig is needed more than this, so it has to depart/pay for it.
AgentCooper Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 I've been getting a bit confused regards various P/J Precisions. Found odd MIM ones with preferred 38mm Jazz neck and others at 41.3-42mm. What is this as friend has folding burning a hole in his pocket ?
Lozz196 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Posted October 10, 2014 This is the regular width Precision neck, 42mm. Not too deep though, so fairly easy to get about on.
