**SOLD** 2012 Fender American Standard Precision Candy Cola Red £700 £800

[M@23]

Hi all,

Reluctantly i am selling my two P basses, only for the reason that after years of putting it off i am moving to 5 strings.

This particular one, i have only owned for a couple of months, it has hardly been played as was bought as a backup. It is in fantastic condition; pretty much 'as new' and you'd have to get your magnifying glass out if you were to find anything. There are no chips, knocks, scrapes or buckle rash.

It's a really nice example of a maple neck Precision in a slightly less common colour! It is hard to photograph, but in the right light it is quite sparkly. The neck pocket is really nice and tight and at 9lbs it is a very good weight. The maple fretboard is beautiful and looks to be a really nice bit of maple. It comes with the normal SKB moulded hard case, Fender strap and case candy. This one is strung with LaBella flats, which suit it incredibly well. It has a very authoritative thump to it! I really like these post 2012 models and much prefer the Custom Shop pickup to the pre 2012s.

Ideally, this would be a cash sale, but i'm open to trade offers for five strings. Collection from Lymington, Portsmouth or Southampton are doable. Given the quality of the SKB cases, i could find out some packaging and do postage as well if needs be.

If someone is after two of these, see my other thread for it's sunburst/rosewood equipped brother. I'll do you a deal for both if you're after a set ;-)

An interested in trades for 5 strings type bump

[M@23]

Price dropped to £750 - before it's part ex'd

God dammit, this is the exact spec of Precision I'm wanting to buy when I sell my Jazz. Great looking bass. Wish I had the cash just now/didn't have to eat. Good luck

[M@23]

Bump.

[M@23]

Unfortunately, something has come up and I now need the cash desperately. Hence the stupidly low asking price of £700 for a US standard P in as new condition!!

[Bass_Guardian]

Man I wish i could have this!!

I think i need a sugar daddy

[M@23]

Haha, well, sometimes needs must!

[karlfer]

Lovely, have a bump.

I have a USA jazz in this same colour combo. The photos dont do it justice. Wish i had £700 spare to complete the set.

You're spot on. It's a sparkly finish in the right light, definitely not a flat colour, but I couldn't really photograph it well.
