SOLD: Fender Classic 50's Precision £650

[Raslee]

These basses need little introduction and are totally superb P basses in my opinion punching way above their weight. This one is up for sale/trade with a heavy heart but I need to sell on to fund some upgrades to my other basses that I regularly gig with.

This bass comes as standard plus the additional upgrades of a tort guard (original anodized gold plate also included) and a hipshot D-tuner (original tuner included).

This bass was around £850 last year and is pretty much immaculate, I still have the receipt somewhere and the upgrades were around an extra £100. It's mainly been the home/studio bass and the tone is to die for, best P tone i've ever had to be honest.

I'm looking for bargain £550 as standard or [b]£650[/b] with upgrades + courier costs (around £20 or less in the UK or collect from South Devon UK).
or
Trades are very specific (plus cash my way):
John East Pre Uni deluxe 4 knob and/or a 5 knob version...ideally with all the knobs.
Aguilar 4J-60 pick ups (4string jazz)
Aguilar Supersingle D2 5 string (P2 size) pickups

....may at a push consider something like a Squier CV P bass and at least £450 my way.

[/quote] Yes I know I'll regret it, and will probably own another when funds permit. I much prefer this to my mates USA P too, the tone is very 'vintage'

Will sell £550 as standard (original pickguard and no detuner)

I have an identical AV '57 version of this; great bass; lovely action and easy to play.
