lapolpora Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) I've reluctantly decided to sell my Fender Precision Walnut Elite II. I bought it from a BC member about a year ago. The original post can be found here: http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry2859364 It's from 1983 and is in good overall condition. There are very few dings for a bass of this age but the laquer has started to delaminate from the wood in places, most noticeably on the back, and a couple of laquer chips around the bass of the instrument. The neck is very good, the electrics are noise free, truss rod and everything else works as you would expect. The ebony fingerboard is in very good condition. I had the frets levelled when I bought the bass (work carried out by Feline Guitars in Croydon). The jack socket was replaced at the same time as the original was very loose - the original jack socket is included. Other than this the bass is in original condition, comes with the optional Schaller strap locks and original Voyagair ATA case, which is still useable. I'm also including a Fender catalogue from that year (that I've had since I was a kid!) that details the Fender Elite range, and this exact model. I just want back what I paid for this so the price is £1195. Weight is 10 and 3/4 lbs. Collection from my home in Crystal Palace/Upper Norwood, South London preferred but it could be couriered. Any questions, please ask! The pics: Edited November 9, 2018 by lapolpora 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Give me a day or so and I'll try and get something up. The neck pick up on it's own is pure P bass. The bridge pickup on it's own is over the top treble and clanky. But blend a little in with the neck pickup and it gives a nice brightness. Quite unique really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the 44.5mm nut spacing and quite a thin neck by P bass standards. Contrary to suggestion I've seen about the Walnut Elite on the internet - it is definitely not made from the previous year's Walnut Precision Special surplus parts. I have one of those too - so I know for a fact . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Gah - I'm getting my Specials and Eiites mixed up. Apologies. (I have no excuse - I've owned both, too!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
