Nothingman Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) 29/7 - sold pending payment. Massive BUMP! Update July 2020 - Really got to look at moving this so I can get a P (51 or normal) without the Jazz pick up. I was looking at making some modifications but think selling it would be more economical. Happy for people to come and try. For sale my lovely Squier Precision P/J bass. I purchased this off a top fella in the North East in the summer of 2017 as a bass to help me get back playing (after years of packing it in). I have since got my hands on an Epiphone Jack Casaday and I love it (and now wanting a new P bass or similar). Therefore I want to let this one go to a new home. The P bass is a lovely tone for the price, as expected with Squier gear. The neck is what really did it for me, the slimmer Jazz profile and satin finish are a lovely touch and the P/J PUP configuration makes it and extremely versatile little beast. It’s got a few scuffs (belt rash etc) as per usage but no significant chips or dents etc. It has served me well and is a straight up really reliable bit of wood. This bass would suit a beginner (or somebody coming back to the fold), it would be a reliable back up bass or it could be a budget friendly workhorse for some righteous cats. Either way it's a great bass for a great price. Happy to field any questions, allow for demos and send more photos etc if anybody wants to know more. I would prefer collection from North Yorkshire but can post if buyer arranges etc. However, please note I don't think I have got a box at the moment so would need to source this and therefore may be a delay to any postage. I now have a box if buyer arranges collection! For all the weight watchers, it is around 5kg, but I don't have scales. And no, I won't hand deliver on the back of a unicorn. Not for that price anyway! Thanks for looking. Will Edited August 1, 2020 by Nothingman Update 1
Marc S Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 The Vintage Modified Squier range are really good, and this is a great bass for the money. I had the P/J version of the bass myself, and it was a great player & good sounding bass for the money - though mine wasn't as nice a colour as yours! Great bang for the buck! GLWTS 2
Misowaki Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 I'm looking to sell my Rivoli to buy a knockaround PJ for modding... way early/pre=emptive question but for shipping, how would you feel about removing the neck and chucking it in a box over sourcing a proper box and that?

No problem with that. Buyers risk obviously.
TheGreek Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 I have one in black - surprisingly good bass for the money. Up there with any entry level basses IMO. Just wish that "cheap" basses were this good when I started playing. GLWTS 3
stewblack Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 I see now why mine won't sell! Better buy this quick folks you won't see a 'Standard' this cheap again. These are really good quality bases. 1

Maybe there is a collector who will have them all?

Maybe I should modify mine in some way? 🤔

chris7273 Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 The J pickup is nice as a thumb rest to play near the bridge. That’s why I like pj Basses. P Basses are great but I feel “lost” when I need to play closer to the bridge

P Basses are great but I feel “lost” when I need to play closer to the bridge That’s exactly the reason I got it as I used to play a lot like that. So PJ configuration seemed logical. Makes for a very versatile instrument. But since getting back into bass I mainly play with a pic so I have no requirement for a thumb rest that far back. 1
