spongebob Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) [size=5]Up for grabs is my 2014 Olympic White/Maple USA Standard Precision Bass. I bought it brand new in my attempt to stay away from basses that shall not be named, and change things round a little.....I've found I can't! Have another possible one incoming, so I have to fund it with my Precision. It has been lovingly looked after by me - strung with D'addario 45-105 Nickels. The condition is [b]superb/immaculate[/b]. A few tiny, tiny indentations (caused by my strap) on the rear - the camera will not even pick them up. Besides that, it looks like it's just come from the factory. Tiny bit of pitting on the tuning keys - there from new - again, too small for the camera, but mentioned in the name of 100% honesty. Hardcase and all 'candy' included. Case is also superb, couple of tiny grazes from when it's been to the studio. If you are after an almost new bass at a used price, look no further. Like all post-2012's, it has the [b]Custom Shop pickups.[/b] The bass sounds immense, and [u]100% classic Precision[/u]. I used it on our bands' latest EP - you can hear the bass in action here - [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA-xHT-cUC4"]https://www.youtube....h?v=mA-xHT-cUC4[/url] Recorded 'live' from my rig, no effects. Weight-wise, I do not own a set of scales - but if anyone else has played a new P, I'm sure they can testify to their lightweight feel. Best UK price I can find on these is £1170 - [u]all I require is [s]£875.[/s][/u] [u][b][s]NOW £850[/s]. £825. [/b][/u]Shipping is now included, UK only. Payment by Bank Transfer please - or cash on collection also welcome. I am located on the Romney Marsh in Kent.[/size] [size=5]If your requirements are a mint bass at a used price, look no further. If it wasn't for my love of the 'dark side', I'd hang on to this beauty....but financial needs must.[/size] [size=5]Sorry, no trades. Straight sale only.[/size] [size=5][i]Please check my Feedback thread for validity of my sales.[/i] Please PM for any more details and interest, and thanks for looking!

spongebob Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) This beauty is still up for grabs, folks - no, I can't believe it either at this price! I have just re-strung this with a brand new set of D'addario 45-105 Nickels, so it sounds better than ever. So can I have a B-U-M-P!

[/quote] Thanks for the kind words chaps, appreciated. At the risk of derailing my own thread, the P is the pure tone - Fender amp and cab mic'd. At this rate I'm still tempted to keep this, but I'll leave it for a little longer....and then it's likely to stay at chez Spongebob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebob Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 (edited) Sorry, I'm going to withdraw this from sale. I do love it, and after a month with zero interest, I think it's fate's way of telling to keep it. Playing it today, it's sounding great.....brilliant playing and sounding P. So it's staying with Spongebob!�� Edited July 7, 2015 by spongebob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Free BUMP from me re this bass - it was the soundclips that forced me - yes forced me - to go and buy one of these basses in my fave black/maple combination. The nicest recorded Precision tone I`d heard in a very long time. The quality of these basses is amazing as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
