LewisK1975 Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) Dread to think what would happen if I ever went in there. I love Precisions and if you do too, have a look at these 2 he's got: [url="http://andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=1014"]http://andybaxterbas...ils.php?id=1014[/url] [url="http://andybaxterbass.com/details.php?id=953"]http://andybaxterbas...ails.php?id=953[/url] Just Wow.

edpirie Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I've had my eye on those (in a could't ever hope to afford one kind of way). The sound samples don't help Quote
Chiliwailer Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Very nice indeed. Or, you could have a bargain 1957 P for £5800 o.n.o.

danbowskill Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Oh my giddy aunt!....... That 58 sunburst is my all time dream bass :-) shame it ain't my dream price though,dang :-( Quote
Lw. Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Yes - he gets some nice basses through his hands, I've found it's generally best not to look. Quote
discreet Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I look pretty much every day. He is very much at the high end of the market price-wise, though. Just an observation, not a complaint. You get what you pay for and can be confident the instruments are what he says they are, so peace of mind really.

Twincam Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 (edited) I love p basses but I don't see the appeal in both basses at that price, both look a bit fake in there wear on the scratch plates too I thought, maybe it's just the pics. Chiliwailer's bass is lovely though. Edited January 22, 2016 by Twincam Quote

Billy Apple Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 As much as this shop gets much kudos, I looked at a vintage Ric there a while ago. All was purported to be original and in good working order. Although on removal of the TRC it was apparent that the TRN's were not parallel and one had indeed failed. I showed a picture of the two nuts to a Luthier who confirmed the same. It's like anything. Always have your wits about you Quote

Subbeh Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 Oh my god! that '73 Oly White Fender Jazz Me oh my! blocked and bound maple, tug bar, ash trays. I thought I was out of love with Jazz basses. That one is stunning. Quote
lojo Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Slightly off topic , but I'm looking out of a 70s precision and it's so hard to know what a fair price is As someone said above Andy Baxter is high end , but also the quality and confidence is high end, perhaps paying slightly more is not an issue if the private sale prices catch up to what I've paid in a few years It's fun keeping an eye out though Edited January 25, 2016 by lojo Quote
Lozz196 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Looking at 70s Precisions, they seem to be from £1800 upwards for an early 70s, and £1000 upwards for late 70s. The ones I had (77 and two 78s) were around the £1000 - £1350 mark. Quote
