Beedster Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) Having fallen in love with my Tele and finding a Jazz more useful in my current band, I'm going to be Precision free for a while. This was recently put together from loads of parts I'd acculuated and sounds and plays as good as it looks. [attachment=19362:CIMG0470.JPG][attachment=19363:CIMG0463.JPG] [attachment=19360:CIMG0478.JPG][attachment=19361:CIMG0485.JPG] '78 neck and tuners '78 PUPs/new pots/socket '78 bridge '90's MIJ 70's RI body (Oly White) '78 CASE Pickguard has an extra hole currently covered in tape (I'll provide a non-modded one with the bass) Tightest pocket/heel fit I've come across to date. Currently strung with TI flats but can stick some rounds on if you'd prefer. I'm moving back to Canterbury at the weekend hence my offloading a few unused items at present. On that basis I'll ebay this pretty quickly if there's no interest here. I can meet anywhere between there and Miton Keynes (M2/M25/M1), alternatively I can send via courier for £27. No overseas I'm afraid. Chris Edited February 14, 2009 by Beedster

Lovely looking bass though Chris; you do have a knack with putting these together.. Good luck with sale/trade No.47326..

Possibly the best bass I've ever owned. Sorry mate

Guest MoJo Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 I've got a job interview on Tuesday. If all goes well and this bass is still for sale, I might treat myself to celebrate.

Had an interesting chat about Wals yesterday I need to run by you....
Beedster Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Precision sale withdrawn, albeit likely temporarily. Chris
Beedster Posted January 30, 2009 Author Posted January 30, 2009 Now back up as trade bait for a fretless. WHYG...? Chris

super.rad Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 Still interested in selling? If so could you give me a rough idea on price you're looking for. Thanks

I stopped going in there when the annual Xmas school re-unions started running out of steam. I think the Unicorn in St Dunstans has the best beer in Canterbury, closely followed by Chris' old local the White Hart. Chris, if you're looking for a fretless precision, what about this? [url="http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/usedpb4.htm"]http://www.fareastguitars.co.uk/usedpb4.htm[/url] I have one just like it, except with a fretted jazz-width neck and although I'm biased I think it's the best playing and sounding Precision I've ever seen.

TBH I'm tempted to split it as I'd get a lot more for the parts

Two of our locals have gone this month, rumour has it that my leaving the town for a few months hit the local breweries hard.... Cheers for the heads-up on the Precision. I've actully just let my old 78 maple fretless go so not really what I'm after anymore. I loved the sound but never felt I could dig in in the same way I can on a rosewood or ebony neck, so I'm now digging in on an unlined '73 Jazz. I'm looking for some lines however for the odd recording session when close to the note isn't close enough! Hope you're well mate, how's that lovely Bass Collection I flogged you coming along! Chris

Yours probably turned out to be the best of the bunch Col, which is ironic given it was a complete mongrel
