ben604 Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) I'm completely skint so need to find some money somewhere so, I'm considering trading this down to something a little cheaper for the time being and buying a black on maple in the future. Here's a picture of the thing: It's a 2004 Standard Precision with the S1 Switch(!) in candy cola with a Maple neck and black scratch plate. It's in excellent condition but has some very minor marks on the rear which I'll photo if there's some serious interest, but they're hard to see unless you're looking for them, no dings at all. The neck and headstock are clean also! Steve Soar of this very forum has seen the bass and seems to like it although he suggests the nut might need replacing depending on the guage of strings you use as the grooves are fairly deep. To me, it plays great, nice low action, and sounds great too. I'm probably just looking for something Black on Maple but I'm happy to look at anything offered. I'll only let this go if I really like what's being offered, otherwise I'll just suffer this month out with no cash! Bit of confusion with the asking price so I'm after a trade plus cash, depending on what's offered or a straight cash price of say £450 to start us off. Cheers, Ben. Edited August 20, 2008 by ben604
Kev Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 the exact colour scheme i would choose if i was buying a fender jazz or precision, gorgeous bass
mike257 Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 If I wasn't as skint as it sounds like you are, I'd be straight in the Birkenhead tunnel and chasing you down for this Have a bump all the same, good luck shifting it!!
ben604 Posted August 14, 2008 Author Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) Thanks Mike, I would have well taken your Peavey in exchange too, nice looking bass..! If you come into some monies, give me a shout! In fact, if anyone wanted to make me a decent cash offer, I'd probably buy that off you outright. Are you still selling it?

mike257 Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 I will do mate! It's not too likely this month though, and i've been with the missus a year next month, so I can't imagine I'll have much spare cash once that's dealt with That P is gorgeous though, so if I suddenly find a pile of cash somewhere I'll let you know!

Cheers, Ben.[/quote]Steve Soar of this parish, really likes this bass, it's a good weight, has tons of bottom end, a great neck and it is in great nick. It also has a set of DR Hi Beams on it that are only a few hours old and with a new nut, or just shimming the old one and re-cutting it would be a brilliant Precision. I was totally jealous when I saw it but I didn't tell him.
ben604 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Posted August 17, 2008 Surely there's someone interested in this out there?!! Look at it! It's beautiful!!
Mr Fudge Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 (edited) Fancy a swap for this? .. not me the bass .. Its a beauty of a US 97 Jazz with D tuner and now with a tort scratchplate! Doesn't get a look in since I got my Marcus Jazz and I still have a hard on for a P again. Ignore me if you like a have a BUMP. It looks like a great bass. Edited August 18, 2008 by Mr Fudge
