FinnDave Posted June 27, 2016 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
adamlunt Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 That's tasty! Used to have one in white, which I miss dearly. Any trades, or just sale?

FinnDave Posted June 27, 2016 Author Posted June 27, 2016 [quote name='JapanAxe' timestamp='1467064430' post='3080994'] Great basses these CIJ Precisions [/quote] They are indeed, but one of my Ps had to go, and won't be the US Standard! This one's just down the road (A420) from Swindon too
FinnDave Posted July 2, 2016 Author 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.
FinnDave Posted July 2, 2016 Author 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.

FinnDave Posted July 7, 2016 Author Posted July 7, 2016 Still sitting in its case in my house, taking up space!
Umskii Posted July 7, 2016 Posted July 7, 2016 Are CIJ p bass' 3 piece or 5 piece construction like the made in Mexico line? FinnDave What wood is used for the body? Cheers
FinnDave Posted July 7, 2016 Author Posted July 7, 2016 I'll have a look at the wood tomorrow, just got in from rehearsal and about to turn in for the night.

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 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
FinnDave Posted July 10, 2016 Author Posted July 10, 2016 [quote name='danbanbass' timestamp='1468100697' post='3088650'] Can you tell me what the serial number is please? [/quote] The serial number is R 051114
danbanbass Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 Ok so this would make it a 2004-05 model, let me have a think.
