Fender Mexican/Classic Series '50s Precision Bass (Fiesta Red)...**NOW SOLD** £500

[Scott S]

Only a cash sale with this one, guys, not looking for trades...well, unless the current owner of the ACG [color=#383838][font=Oxygen][size=4]SC Classic 5 String which used to belong to both Kev and Andy is up for a deal... [/size][/font][/color]


You've got to love the Fiesta Red/gold anodized pick guard combo!

[*]It's in 99.9% as-new condition apart from a tiny mark on the paint work just below the volume pot. It's barely visible to the naked eye but, in the true spirit of Basschat honesty, I have to draw attention to it. I'm happy to courier at the buyer's expense. Based on the Wirral, Merseyside.

Bump.

Best neck ever!

[Rayman]

Best PRECISION ever, I had one of these, utter joy to play, very well built, great sound. Then I sold it. Because I'm an idiot.

Agreed! I sold mine too, like a nitwit. The neck had a proper bit of striping in the maple too. Nitwit.

[Scott S]

Thanks for the positive vibes Cosmo and Rayman, el Mexicano really is a quality P-bass!

At the risk of being an idiot/nitwit it has to go due to it being usurped by a Lakland DJ4.

I'll let you off...... a DJ4 was the best Jazz style bass I ever had. I sold that too.

The Lakland is going nowhere.... (pauses whilst tumbleweed rolls by)....

I bought this very model only about 8 weeks ago. I have been playing this exclusively since, and I wasn't a Precision player!!!
Fantastic bass... and the neck is just delicious.

Bump!

Hi Scott, would you be intrested in some kind of trade offer with this ACG 5'er?

Hi, buddy,

Thank you for the very kind offer, but it's the single cut ACG 5-er that I'm after. I was hankering for it last Summer when Andy was trying to sell it but I didn't have the cash/trade options at the time. Likewise when Kev took it to sell on. I've got my fingers crossed that it resurfaces on the forum at some point in the future.

Cheers, mate.

Bump.

[Scott S]

Bump and price drop...now £475.

[Scott S]

Bloated, half asleep-type bump.

US, Mex or Jap ? Apologies if I've missed it elsewhere.

But not your run-of-the-mill MIM... The Classic 50s series is really good!

Please someone buy this, it tempts me and I don't need two of these!

Hey, high praise indeed if the GAS runs to wanting identical twins!

[SingleMalt]

Oh man if I didn't just spend so much on Christmas presents I'd have this in a second.

If it's still here on the 25th of jan....

[Scott S]

On hold.
