ROBBIE Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Hello 4 candles. Love the bass. What is the weight. I Live close to Birmingham....Could be interested. Many thanks Rob.
4 candles Posted February 20, 2015 Author Posted February 20, 2015 light as a feather, Just over 8lbs I believe Font size changed now!!! sorry
molan Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Wow, great colour! The German Fender guys spec up really high end CS basses and always specify the lightest weight bodies. Their base prices come in way higher than 'regular' CS instruments
JapanAxe Posted February 20, 2015 Posted February 20, 2015 Wowsers! *rattles piggy-bank hopefully* Oh well...

karlfer Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Had a bit play of this today. Probably the best Precision I have ever played (and there's been a few ). Good luck Mark.
molan Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Keep coming back to look at this, such a pretty bass
