[b]About the bass:[/b]
Fender Precision Bass, 1979, in Olympic White nitro refinish, purchased from fellow Basschatter Roland Rock (original sales thread here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/273071-%26-127928%3Bsold-1979-precision-bass%26-127928%3B/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] )

Weight is a meaty 11.28 lbs, but it balances very well - I've played two hour gigs with no fatigue (well, not on the shoulders, at least!)

41mm at nut

Since I bought it:
The bass has been gigged approx. 5 times, with some minor scuffs added (see 'cosmetic condition' below).

I swapped out the original pickups and wiring loom for Fender Original Precision Bass pups, CTS pots and Switchcraft jack. The original pickups, pots, loom, knobs and thumbrest are also included in case you want to swap them back.

[b]Playing condition:[/b]
Full working order, new pots make the pups very responsive to tone changes. The maple neck is beautifully played in, fastest Precision neck I've used.

Heard to good* effect here: [media]http://youtu.be/SEwq58WvoWw[/media]

(*'good' here means the tone, not necessarily my playing )

[b]Cosmetic condition[/b]
Some horn scuffs, a scuff halfway down the pickguard side edge and a small scuff on the back. Edges of fingerboard have 'ring rash' which has worn off the edge varnish. See the hi-res Flickr album which also includes shots of the original loom and pickups: [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/133089969@N07/albums/72157676876673595"]https://www.flickr.c...157676876673595[/url]
