FinnDave Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 (edited) The financial pressure is off (for now) and I know I'd regret selling this if I didn't have to, so I am withdrawing it from sale. [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]The second bass I am clearing out is this Fender 60s style Precision Bass in 3 tone sunburst. This is from the acclaimed Crafted in Japan Fender line, and I believe it was made in the early 90s.[/color][/font] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]It has been used for only a few gigs, there are one or two small dings, but none are very visible. The bass is fitted with a Seymour Duncan SPB-1 vintage style pickup; the original pickup is included in the sale. I forgot to get the chrome pickup cover and bridge ashtray, but they are also included.[/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This bass will be supplied in a Fender moulded case, the type that was supplied with US Standard basses until recently[/font][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]Perfectly set-up, currently fitted with D'Adarrio round wounds. Lovely feel and sound. [/color][/font] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Available to view & play at my house[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]in West Oxfordshire. Prefer personal collection, but will courier at buyer's cost and risk.[/font][/color] [attachment=222361:IMG_0247.jpg] [attachment=222362:IMG_0239.jpg] [attachment=222363:IMG_0244.jpg] [attachment=222364:IMG_0240.jpg] [attachment=222365:IMG_0241.jpg] [attachment=222366:IMG_0242.jpg] [attachment=222367:IMG_0238.jpg] Edited August 2, 2016 by FinnDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlunt Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 That's tasty! Used to have one in white, which I miss dearly. Any trades, or just sale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 I don't know the weight but will weigh it when my wife's up as I'll need more than one useable hand to weigh it! I'll post back here in an hour or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnDave Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Weighed it as best we could, comes out at 8lb 6oz. That's the bass with strings but without chrome bridge & PU covers attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnDave What wood is used for the body? Cheers [/quote] No idea what sort of wood they've used, but as far as I can tell the body is made of just two pieces, it is not hard to see the grain through the sunburst and I can see only one join.

Jonse Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I've got one of these, they're great. I looked into the wood on mine and I couldn't decipher whether it was alder or basswood. Mine is a two piece body also and has a grain somewhere between alder and basswood but it's rock hard, supposedly unlike basswood. ANYWAY, GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
