Beedster Posted June 18, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfoxnik Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 That's a very cool looking bass. Chris! Reminds me of a Limelight, but at half the price... GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy Posted June 18, 2018 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beedster Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
