thebrig Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 What a mess! Professionally reliced?

Rumple Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Apart from all the other things that are horrible on this bass, why is the scratch plate about 12mm thick! Quote
itsmedunc Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 Truly a right mess. The scratchplate looks like it was fashioned from an old tyre. Too much information for me as well. He needs to learn how to use paragraphs! Quote
Drax Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 [color=#333333]" if you've been on the hunt for a Fender you will no they are like ford escorts,they are every where and finding a great one isn't to easy and with all the cross referencing you have to do is a nightmare I've found , this one is fab and its been checked and verified by fender "[/color] [font="Helvetica neue, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif"][color="#333333"][size=3]ford escorts?! [/size][/color][/font] [color=#333333][size=3]cross-referencing?![/size][/color][color=#333333] [/color] [color=#333333]Peace of mind to know it's Fender verified though. [/color] Quote
yorks5stringer Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) My Sweet Lord! I think the relicing has probably knocked £300 off its value at least and that value will never ever appreciate like he suggests. Still there maybe somewhere out there who likes it and is prepared to pay silly money for it, if not his wife may be going on a budget break somewhere not very warm or sunny....

Muppet Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 That's crying out for a professional restoration. Or any restoration. Not by Raygun Relics though. So sad. Quote
thebrig Posted April 28, 2015 Author Posted April 28, 2015 The annoying thing for me is, I am actually searching for a 60th Anniversary Precision which is how I came across it, and I would have gone for it had it not been trashed!!! Quote

ras52 Posted April 28, 2015 Posted April 28, 2015 That scratchplate would probably provide some handy protection if you had a gig in Chernobyl. Quote

Happy Jack Posted April 29, 2015 Posted April 29, 2015 I just love that explosion of chisel stabs on the back ... entirely natural, utterly convincing. Incidentally, if you want to know what one of these [i][b]really [/b][/i]looks like after nearly 60 years, here's my '57: http://s1128.photobucket.com/user/h4ppyjack/library/Basses%20CURRENT/Fender%20Precision%201957%20CURRENT Quote
