Steve Browning Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) The perfect thing to leave out for Santa or his reindeer this Christmas. Here we have an all original 1975 Precision fretless. In addition, the bridge cover and original case are included. The bass is in very good condition although you will see there is a split in the scratch-plate near the jack socket (as these plates are prone to shrinkage after a while). Everything works as it should and there is plenty of mwah!! It is shown on the scales at 9lbs. Collection/trying obviously preferable but I am also happy to meet at a reasonable distance from home (Portsmouth).

Steve Browning Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 I loaned my daughter the step ladder when she moved into her house recently and she hasn't returned them yet! The case is the standard period case in excellent condition. I don't recall if the key is in it. Apologies for the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Oh man, you can't sell that........... Can't you get a cheaper van......!!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 If I had ever played fretless, I'd be trying to get you back on the road. Great settee too.........! GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I have its exact twin, there is something absolutely magical about the maple board fretless Precisions of that era, unusually for 70's Precisions, I've never played a bad one (and I've played a lot of them).

Steve Browning Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Thank you chaps! The van is repaired (2nd hand engine - £950 + £890 labour) and it's just done a 2 week UK tour without a hiccup so all good. I am tempted to withdraw the bass but I have sort of mentally said good-bye to it. I am looking to get an SVL bass made so this can still go.

FinnDave Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Was that two weeks with the Aguilar/Blomenfieldd band you were with at SoL? Sounded great (even if it did mean we had to cut our set short due to the overrun!) and I hope Barry has recovered from his fall in Paris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny. I'm not a big fan of fretted maple, but fretless... Sublime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Did we overrun? Very sorry about that. I always have a kitchen clock that is positioned at th singers fet so time can be measured but it wasn't present at SOL. Barry was in a lot of discomfort and was still in a state when I put him on the plane on Tuesday morning. He did well to play at all. You might have seen we had to even put his guitar on for him!

FinnDave Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The overrun was firmly in the hands of the organisers, I think they were reluctant to pull a legend, especially an injured legend off the stage. We had to drop a few favourites we had lined up, but no one knew except us, so no problem. I heard most of your set but didn't see so much as I was getting my gear out of the car, finding odd and ends that I needed, plus a hasty conference about what we could drop. Thoroughly enjoyed playing there, and the whole day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franzbassist Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 That is a thing of beauty. I’ve wanted one in this spec for years. We are geographically close. And I have no cash 😔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
