SOLD - Fender CIJ 62 reissue Precision *UK COURIER NOW AVAILABLE* £450

[guybrush threepwood]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]Here we have a bass which I (truly) thought I'd never sell. This really is an utterly wonderful playing and sounding instrument, but I'm extremely lucky to be able to say that I've now found a Precision (type) bass that is better. I never really thought it would happen, and I've thought long and hard about selling this bass as I love it, but it's now not being played.[/color][/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]Dating from 2004-2005, this bass has led an interesting, mod-based life. When I bought it, it had EMGs installed (the battery box is still in place). I'm not a massive fan of these, so I swapped them out for a set of Wizard Trad pups; this restored a lovely vintage tone. After this (about 18 months ago), one of the tuners developed a rattle, so I fitted a Hipshot D-tuner.[/color][/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]The bass sounds great and plays incredibly well; it is set up with a nice low action, and it has the thin vintage frets which have been installed very well - it is definitely some of the tidiest fretwork I've seen on a Fender bass. The neck isn't too wide and deep either; it's not Jazz thin, but definitely not the wide vintage Precision profile either - more of a modern P profile which is really comfy. Weight is about 9lbs.[/color][/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]The condition is pretty good, but there are a few knocks and scratches, and a couple of screwholes where a bridge cover has been fitted.[/color][/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]It's currently fitted with TI flats, but I can set it up with a set of Slinkys for no extra cost.[/color][/font][/size]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][color=#000000]Looking for £450 collected from Nottingham, or I can courier in the UK for £465.[/color][/font][/size]

Bump for an edit - can set this up with rounds if necessary.

Here are a couple of playalongs I did with the bass, where it's wearing rounds - DI'd straight in.

Is this alder or basswood? Quite a few Japanese reissue Ps seem to be basswood

[Bobby K]

I had one of these Bri ;-) Excellent quality P bass, you can't go wrong mate

I have one just like this, and it is indeed a cracking bass.

I don't know for sure, but my guess would be basswood; it's quite a simple grain under the finish.

[Geek99]

I owned it back when t had EMGs - just couldn't stop playing it

[guybrush threepwood]

Another bump to the top.

[guybrush threepwood]

Bump! I am expecting a delivery early next week, so will then have a box that this can be couriered in... £465 inc. UK delivery.
