It's a great looking and feeling bass, I've used at a few rehearsals and it's got agreat punchy tone also (original listing is [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34199&hl=)"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34199&hl=)[/url] I paid £350 and would like to get that back. Cheers Chris Edited January 11, 2009 by Beedster
Beedster Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 Bump for pics above Bass has now been 'on hold' for three different BCers, none of whom had any cash or a Precision . Much as I'd like to help out, I don't really want to hold this until payday Will go to ebay at £375 BIN tomorrow evening if there's no interest here Cheers Chris
Beedster Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 Just noticed that this is actually MIJ not CIJ. I'm pretty sure the difference is in age only, but thought it worth mentioning Chris

Beedster Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Apologies all, been offered a lot of basses but it seems I'm a bit fussy about the type of Precision I'm looking for Probably save us all a lot of time if I say this is now a straight sale ar £350. Chris
mr_russ Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I miss my one of these terribly - it was the best sounding bass I've owned
Beedster Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 [quote name='mr_russ' post='376671' date='Jan 11 2009, 11:27 AM']I miss my one of these terribly - it was the best sounding bass I've owned[/quote] Thanks Russ, it's certainly a pretty impressive instrument for the money, significantly better than any of the Jazzes I've owned previously (including a US Custom Shop), and largely responsible for my recently renewed faith in Jazz Basses generally. A-B'ed against my '69 it has similar basic tone and growliness, but markedly greater tonal range, iit's a better slap and rock machine than the '69, with crispier highs and a much more prominent bottom end. TBH I was tempted to keep it and run it with rounds whilst putting some flats on the '69, but I'm not sure that three Jazzes and a couple of other Vintage Fenders is a luxury I can afford at this point in time Chris
Beedster Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 PS I will be driving to Southampton later this week so could deliver in that neck of the woods. I can also deliver/meet in the Milton Keynes/southern M1 area, Canterbury/Kent at weekends or London/Surrey pretty much any time
Beedster Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 Going on ebay BIN this evening as I need the cash sharpish Chris
Weird War Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I have one of these in sunburst - great basses and this is well priced. If I didn't already own one, this thread would now have a great big [size=4][b]SOLD[/b][/size] against it...
King Tut Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Milton Keynes.....trade.......swap............MIJ Precision............arse.............girls...........oh feck!
joegarcia Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 I had one of these until the other week (until I sold it for a near identical old non RI) and it was really fantastic. A beautiful bass, far better than the price suggests.
