udo Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) If this sounds familiar - yes, it's the bass Dosi Y'Anarchy had on here two weeks ago. I traded it against a Jazz but have since got my hands on a nice Yamaha - so this one has to go again. The original listing of his is this one https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/331130-traded-fender-50s-precision-honeyblonde/ Everything as mentioned there, the only difference is the neckplate - it has a Fender Squire one as he couldn't find the original one. But the plastic is still on the tuners The pic is from google, I'll upload some of the actual bass tonight when I am back home from work (my one has no cover on the bridge). It sounds, well, like a precision does. What I found is that it goes easily into semi distortion mode if you dig hard with a pick. I lowered the PUs as much as possible and now it has a pretty sweet slight extra edge to its sound. But I guess it depends a lot on how you play it. I can post or also meet within 50 miles of SE London. Here is the official spec description: Fender 50s Precision The 50s Precision Bass guitar delivers the look, sound and vibe of Fenders first basses without breaking the bank.

Dosi Y'Anarchy Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 If I can find the neck plate (still no idea but I'm digging through stuff all the time) I'd be happy to post this to the buyer free of charge. It's a great bass and Udo is great to deal with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mobius3107 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I've not long bought one of these (in sunburst). One of the best basses I've ever played, I literally can't put it down. Somebody needs to put down £570, and not look back. Good price, udo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosi Y'Anarchy Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 If I had 570, I'd actually buy it back. It's an awesome bass but I'm more of a Jazz fan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
