Fender Precision body. Nitro 2-tone sunburst. '54-'57 shape £325

[Rick's Fine '52]

Handmade Fender Precision Body.

1954-1957 Shape, contour body, through body stringing.

The body has the period correct large string ferrules, not perfectly aligned, as most originals, and they sit flush. This feature is rare, as 99% you see have the smaller ferrules that have the proud flange.

Nitro finish 2-tone sunburst, totally correct shading balance to front and rear. The finish is already starting to craze and check nicely. It was sold as a Clive Brown body, (neck pocket is dated CB-00) but I have no provenance. I haven't tried to force the ageing, I'll leave that to the next owner.

2-saddle bridge with steel barrels

Single ply white pickguard

CTS pots dated 1998, cloth wiring. Chrome control plate and knobs.

Hand signed Seymour Duncan pickup, cloth wraps.

Single screw maple thumbrest, painted black.

Strap buttons

Switchcraft jack and ferrule unit.

This bass just needs a neck, probably around £100, and its ready to go.

Priced to sell, as need some readies for another purchase.

Prefer collection from Northants, but could ship within the UK at cost, probably about £12?? (Could maybe deliver to West Mids)

This is a fully vintage correct spec, loaded body, with nitro finish.

Been counting pennies, but not looking hopeful. Quick question - what’s the pickup?

So, bit of a brucey bonus here, had a look, and its a Seymour Duncan pickup, hand signed, which is scarce in itself. I've added pics to the listing, and here. Probably £120+ alone, having just done some googling!

I'm selling a few things, and the first that sells will mean the rest are withdrawn, as need some quick readies. This was due to be a fab relic bass, and still could be. Don't dally if you're interested, this is a fab deal for someone, if I say so myself!

£325 - it's in big letters below the thread title (it took me a while to spot it too!)

Odd, mines an iPhone, the price for s nowhere to be found, is it a drop down menu or something (sorry Rick)?

[wateroftyne]

Nope, it’s just there under the title...?

[prowla]

Just to clarify - is this a genuine Fender body?

Hi Rick, Hope you are well.

I tried to PM you but it wont let me for some reason. Maybe the new site. I'd like to take this off your hands if possible. 

Cheers!

Wes
