BB2000 Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) This is probably the best Precision I have ever played. I don't really know what else to say - occasionaly Fender produces a bass that can't be faulted, and this is one of them. Originally owned by Greeneking, who bought it new. It's a lightweight, and when I got it I swapped the tuners for Gotoh resolite's (which by the way are very nice) to see if it would break the 8lb mark. I was going to replace the original tuners before taking these pictures, but they're in a "safe place" and where exactly that is escapes me at the moment. If it sells before I find them I'd like the buyer to return the Gotoh's to me when I forward the original tuners to him. The bass is mint - no marks whatsoever. It's always been kept in it's case when not in use so the nitro has no uneven fading. All original case candy is there. Peter drilled holes for the bridge tray and did a grand job (unlike most I've seen). I'm not sure when or why Fender stopped production of these, but since they did there aren't going to be any nicer examples out there. Edited August 11, 2018 by BB2000 Sold 4
Quatschmacher Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Lovely. What’s the nut width on this? Edited March 7, 2018 by Quatschmacher

They also have narrow frets, which allows almost fretless like slides (think Dunn's She Caught the Katy).
Quatschmacher Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 Sadly too wide for me. I can cope with the newest Fender Professional series but nothing wider. 1
divineinventionband Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 If its an avri it should have the holes for pickup and bridge covers no?

drlargepants Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 I loved mine, just couldn’t get on with the nut width. New owner is more tha happy with it.
drlargepants Posted March 7, 2018 Posted March 7, 2018 This is absolutely stunning I must say though.

Kevsy71 Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Please can you confirm the fingerboard radius? I can't remember if these are 7.25" or 9.5" . Cheers!
Kelpie Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Lovely bass! Is the neck closer to an Avri 58 or a RW pbass? The Avri 58 is a chunky fat neck while the RW was wide and kinda thin. Might be interested depending on the neck. Thank you!

Definitely not chunky.
BB2000 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Posted April 2, 2018 Added some pics showing the bass with the ashtrays fitted.
