OutSpoon Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) Hi all, Up for sale is my 1999 Fender Precision bass. It's an American Standard with through body stringing. Sunburst finish with tort pickguard and rosewood board. Really beautiful bass, I bought this a couple of years ago from David at Cotswold Bass Guitars (lovely guy, makes a mean grean tea). In great condition, a little ding here and there but overall looks great. Currently strung with Thomasik flats - and just looks and sounds like the perfect Funk Machine. Comes with ashtray and pickup cover, fender strap and hard case (SKB). Top side of fretboard has some wear, not sure if this is natural or the previous owner did it - but it makes the bass a pleasure to play! WIll ship UK and international if needed - at buyers expense. Not interested in trades as I just put a deposit on a new Fodera and need funds! Don't really want to sell this - but needs must!

therealting Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 This is tempting... I saw your Jazz post earlier (looks just like my Sadowsky) and was thinking that the twin Precision looks delicious! Where are you based?
OutSpoon Posted January 8, 2016 Author Posted January 8, 2016 Yeah - I bought them as a matching pair... though they were made in different years and countries! I am in Hampshire, near Reading. I'll do you a nice deal for the pair! ;-)
karlfer Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 1996 to 2003 series of American Standards are vastly under rated basses, as are the 2003-2008 basses. Great players (or at least every one I've played has been). GLWTS, somebody will get a great gigging tool.
Sumbabba Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Hi this looks very much like what I've been looking for! What's the width of the fretboard at the nut?
OutSpoon Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 Hey man - just measured it and it looks to be 43mm
karlfer Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) Same series as my Aqua Marine one. Unless the neck was swapped out it is modern C shape, 1.6" 41.3mm. Other spec see link below.

OutSpoon Posted January 9, 2016 Author Posted January 9, 2016 You are probably right and I probably can't see straight this early in the morning!
OutSpoon Posted January 11, 2016 Author Posted January 11, 2016 [attachment=209306:jamerson.jpg] You know you want it...
OutSpoon Posted January 12, 2016 Author Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Just gave the p a polish. It's lovely. Edited January 12, 2016 by OutSpoon
OutSpoon Posted January 14, 2016 Author Posted January 14, 2016 Still for sale and still awesome... make me an offer!
OutSpoon Posted January 16, 2016 Author Posted January 16, 2016 NBD getting close... will look with interest at offers around the £700 mark. :-)
OutSpoon Posted January 20, 2016 Author Posted January 20, 2016 Hey there - looks to be around the 4.5kg mark.
OutSpoon Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 Just flying back from a trip to the USA and hoping to sell this next week once I get back... ;-)
jonnythenotes Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 Cool.... I was just about to pull the trigger on something else....and then I saw your bass..... Would £600 do the trick....
OutSpoon Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 And now SOLD! Instant regret. And I know I will end up buying a 3TSB P-bass soon enough!
