Nothingman Posted October 8, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc S Posted October 14, 2019 Share 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!

Misowaki Posted October 15, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted July 28, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted July 28, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely basses, just need don't need the J pup and would prefer a a P style neck. Maybe there is a collector who will have them all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris7273 Posted July 28, 2020 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
