SOLD : MIJ Fender P Bass circa 1991/2 SOLD £750 Littlehampton West Sussex

[silverfoxnik]

Hi Folks, 

This is a bit of a feeler really as I have my eye on something else.. 

So, this is - as far as I can tell from the serial number - a Made in Japan Fender Precision bass, circa 1991/2.

I'm looking for £SOLD or very near offer for this beauty. 

It sounds and looks great, has a beautiful Ash body and a slim, almost Jazz like maple neck and is in brilliant condition for a 27 year old bass.

It's everything a 70s P Bass should be IMHO ! 😊

Full disclosure ; there's one tiny ding on the neck which I'll try to photograph tomorrow when there's hopefully some decent light..

It has been set up professionally and is currently strung with a set of Rotosound steels.  Comes with a functional hard case. 

As ever, I'd prefer to sell this to someone who could come and try it out in person here in Littlehampton West Sussex first however, I am prepared to ship it at buyer's expense by insured courier service. 

If you've any questions, please PM me or ask away here and I'll try to get back to you ASAP.

I am away in Birmingham from tomorrow afternoon for 3 days , so please bear in mind that I may not be able to answer certain questions.. 

Thanks for looking as ever! 😊

Not really ; I'm almost embarrassed to say that I had to look him up just now to be absolutely sure who he is.. 😳

Gorgeous Nik (no, not you, you plank).

That's a 70's reissue, most likely a P70US N the US meaning American pups. It will have model type in the neck pocket. Nut width will be 40 mm, same as a Nate Mendel.

If my Highway One/Road Worn Jazz yada yada yada.......................

GLWTS

Edit.

Most likely a non export, as most that left Japan had rosewood boards, so definitely less common than the already uncommon export ones.

Thanks @karlfer

Really appreciate the info! 😊

[silverfoxnik]

Had a couple of requests about the weight of the bass, so I've weighed it on our really old bathrooms scales.

The reading says it's a shade under 4kg which doesn't surprise me given that it's an Ash body.

The bass has now been SOLD. 😊
