Clarky Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 (edited) Hi, bought this only a month ago and its a beauty. Problem is I fell in love with a white US P-bass and it has taken over as my main squeeze and I have my Prosebass Clash-alike as backup. Its the top-spec CIJ model (now, due to weak pound, would cost you over £750 new at MIJFenders [url="http://www.mijfenders.com/Gallery/BASS/PB70US3TSRgallery/index.htm)"]http://www.mijfenders.com/Gallery/BASS/PB7...lery/index.htm)[/url], originally bought in 2008, with ash body and US pickups. Only issue is that a previous owner tried to increase the size of the truss rod access hole - which is a non-issue as the new tort pickguard covers this up. You can read about this on an old FS thread [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=30205&hl=Fender+Japan+Precision"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...Japan+Precision[/url] Its strung with TI flatwounds for the classic P thump. I paid £310 for this from Bigwan and I would like to get this back. Postage extra (usually £25 with PareclForce) plus I would throw in a generic hard case for a further £25 if you wanted extra security that it will arrive in top notch condition, unbashed by the delivery company. So any permutation of £310 + £25 (case) + £25 (delivery) that suits. If pick-up I live near Hammersmith, Central London and work near Moorgate tube station. Here are a few pics taken at night so not capturing full beauty of the finish. There are no dings or issues other than aforementioned (hidden) truss rod access hole. To all intents and purposes it looks (virtually) as good as new. If you check my feedback you will see I have only dealt in vgc basses before and this is no exception.

Also no trade offers please unless against a US or Japanese Jazz in black with rosewood neck Edited February 3, 2009 by Clarky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
