Not only have I not played it, but I've not even collected it (my fault, not Jay's). However in the meantime both the expense and time required to get my Manshed studio up and running is dawning, so this bass, which I was going to strip and do all sorts of things to (there was a pre-amp lined up also), is now back on the market at £100 below what I paid Jay.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]£600 for a US AV series bass?

Cyrene Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 My God. That's a crazy price! Especially when one considers the inflated prices of certain Mexican models... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Hey Mr. Beedster! Any idea of the weight? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Folks, just to clarify I've never held this bass! Re weight, as I understand it from Jay, it's 'daft light' at around 8lbs. Re finish, Karl thought it rough but Jay appears to think it just looks a little reliced. Re year of manufacture, no idea, sorry. Karl's original link is here http://basschat.co.uk/topic/274529-traded-thanks-fender-american-vintage-57-precision-reissue-bargain-but/page__hl__av+57__fromsearch__1 I don't make a habit of selling basses I've never touched or seen. Luck has it that musical priorities have changed substantially from live to recorded over the last few months and the need (want) for this bass came at the very tail end of the former, hence the rather odd back story and rather short turnaround. I also enjoy a good project and this was going to be stripped and oiled and a P-Retro dropped into the cavity. However, I've since decided to sell off all of my project instruments also (that's going to be avery long thread), so omn both counts this is on its way. So, I can't really speak for this bass. Usual rules apply though, if you buy it and there's a problem, I will either solve the problem or you get a refund. I know Jay well, and whilst I've never met Karl his reputation suggests a high level of trustworthiness. In short, if these guys rate this bass, I can't see there being a problem. If I can get any firmer answers when I actually pick up the bass this week, I will! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beedster Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks Karl Well I have now met this bass. Crikey it's light, it kinda drifted out of the case when I opened it! It also has a glorious neck, and sustains very very nicely. The finish is nothing like as bad as I had expected and from more than a foot away it looks like a 10 year old bass, which of course, it is (2007 BTW). Anyway, long story short, I was selling this cheap to pay for some studio gear that I subsequently had to put on CC after some interesting PayPal shenanigans last night! So, I'm in neither any rush to sell, and certainly not to sell at a loss given this bass is worth a couple of hundred more at least, so I'm going to withdraw it and relist it at its original purchase price of £700 when I get around to it. Thanks folks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
