Beedster Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) For sale is a lovely fretless Precision, bought from Greg/Shaggy on this forum, a purveyor of fine basses and a man who has helped me part with a lot of cash over the years! Body is unknown but is Oly White over 3tsb and is a very very authentic looking relic., PUPs I think are Fender USA '62 RIs (I'll check), neck is Fender USA with original tuners. Very solid Precision tone, lovely playable neck with stunning rosewood lined board. IIRC I paid around £500, offers in that region welcome. As is always the case with my basses, you don;t like it, you can return it These are Greg's pictures, I'll upload some more tomorrow Chris EDIT: PUPs are Lollars not Fender Edited September 4, 2018 by Beedster 2
silverfoxnik Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 That's a very cool looking bass. Chris! Reminds me of a Limelight, but at half the price... GLWTS
Shaggy Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Ooh, I recognise that shed, lol! just to clarify; pickup is a Jason Lollar (I imported from the States), pickguard is proper vintage-spec tort nitrocellulose, knobs and p/guard screws were "aged" ones from Madison's, bridge is nickel knurled-barrel BBOT that I was going to age but never got around to. As Chis says; really lovely US Fender neck, and being a lined board the bass looks more authentically early/mid '60's whilst actually being fretless. I actually missed it so much that I built another v similar one!
Beedster Posted June 18, 2018 Author Posted June 18, 2018 Thanks folks Greg, yes it's a Lollar indeed, had a sneaky feeling I'd got it wrong., somewhat up the line from a '62 for sure. You did a damn fine job putting this one together mate, it looks, feels and sounds lovely. I've two FL Precisions, and given the other has been with me for years, and given I don't really need two, I'm opting for last in/first out. I know I'll miss it
Beedster Posted June 20, 2018 Author Posted June 20, 2018 Had an offer on the neck so happy to split neck and body. Also have a Warmoth fretted Jazz neck for sale on this bass .... ....that I'd be happy to transplant so to speak
Beedster Posted June 23, 2018 Author Posted June 23, 2018 Think I'll part out the bass as it's a bitsa anyway and I've got much stuff sitting around as it is! Body £150 (body only, no PUPs/circuit etc which I'll keep) Fender USA lined fretless neck £200 (neck only, no tuners which I'll keep) C
Misowaki Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Where are you based? Been after a fretless neck for a while...

Beedster Posted July 18, 2018 Author Posted July 18, 2018 13 minutes ago, BeeBop said: Hi Is that a jazz style neck Do you know what year Cheers Hello mate, it's 1995 Fender USA Precision B-width neck, with a lovely dark, lined, rosewood board. No idea regarding the body I'm afraid, but it's a decent piece of wood and very well aged
