maximumbass21 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) *PRICE DROP* £2,250 *NO TRADES. CASH ONLY* No trades, please don’t ask... After the 20th “how about this”, it gets really annoying. Bought this brand new back in February for £3,199. Need yet more money for my house renovation so another has to go! Played only a small number of times, predominantly in the studio. Fantastic bass, I opted for it over a Pino CS (which I have also owned previously). It weighs 9b/4.0kg (according to the original listing with Bass Direct), however it feels lighter than this when playing it. Here is the original listing: http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Fender_Precision_61_Relic.html Video of me noodling on the bass: I am located in Stroud, Gloucestershire. Collection preferred but I can also send if necessary. OHSC and case candy all included. Only mod I have made is sticking some Dunlop straplocks on it. Thanks!

Thanks a lot for posting this David 👍🏻 I have to say I’m having second thoughts of selling this as I’ve been playing it more recently for some shows... 😖 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassadder Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 You sound wicked on that beast, flats or rounds?, and what are you running it through.... it's just about the perfect sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot! I’ve got rounds on, have preferred them over flats for a while now. And that’s just direct in played on Logic and using OBS to capture the sound.

bassadder Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Very nice indeed.... how wide is the neck at the nut? and why do you choose it over the Pino? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 1.75” width at the nut and I chose it over the Pino as I couldn’t see the difference for an extra £300 when trying them both out in Bass Direct. I also think this bass has a more classic look for pop gigs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassadder Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Yeah it looks lush... I totally get yay as well £ 300.00 is a lot for a signature on the head stock. I was lucky enough to play Sean Hurley’s 1961 P Bass and it was killer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassedinBucks Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Great playing! Sounds lovely. What's the make of the round-wound strings you have on it, they do sound like flats. I'm interested in the bass as I was born in '61 and always wanted a year-of-birth Custom Precision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not actually sure what the strings are. They’re whatever Fender stick on their instruments as stock. I used to have a Pino CS with flats but I’m preferring the versatility of round-wounds on this bass. Tone is rolled off by about 75% and palm muting gives the flat-wound sound.

boroman Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 This is a beauty! PS: I'm always wondering why most of CS '61 pbasses haven't got "pat pend" under the precision bass name. Those appeared in late 1960, so each 1961 P had it then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is because, I believe, Fender modified the writings on the headstock after 1962, so what's shown on this particular instrument is period-correct ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were changed but as I said before "pat pend" was added around October 1960, so if they do a '61 it should have it because every pbass from 61 had it in the past Edited December 17, 2019 by boroman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
