SOLD . Precision ‘51 Copy Salmon pink/Black Scratch Plate £220 Dumfries and Galloway

[PunkPonyPrincess]

I’m moving to the San Francisco Bay Area and I have too many basses and gear to transport. 

‘This  is a nice copy of a 51 precision bass. I built it myself from parts all over the Internet. Bolt on neck. No-name pickups but my god they sound terrific, with the right ancillaries it can sound like a real grinding warhorse and the only reason I am selling it is because it’s expensive to ship to the USA. 

this was used in its entirety on my first EP and you can hear it at its gnarliest here. https://clairefoxx.bandcamp.com/track/rise-up-2

I now have a relic MJT '51 P bass which is as good but this is in new condition and not been gigged. 

it has a good action, chunky frets and a maple fingerboard, it has sculpted body meaning it’s not a heavy plank like the original 51 shape and design. it weighs just a shade under 4.15kg. it is through body strung and has a sustain to die for. 

I hate to let it go but I’m moving and I have to cut back on basses, amps, cabs and pretty much everything to make moving possible.

Can be shipped  in a styrene mailer.

Looks lovely. Is the paint a professional job, not seen that colour before? 

[PunkPonyPrincess]

Yes. It’s a professional job, not nitrocellulose.

This has long been my favourite looking bass on Basschat, that I don't own. Sadly I too am downsizing due to a (less exciting) move so this will forever be the one that got away. Good luck with the sale.

Is it really pink, the photos make it look like butterscotch.

Looks lovely. I do like a 51.

 Sounds an exciting move @PunkPonyPrincess

All the best with the move!

Nice colour combo - seems to make the chrome pop.  It’s a good interpretation of a classic - clean-looking and with the shaped body too.

Good luck with the move!

Will swap for synths or eurorack modules. As long as it can go in a suitcase. Hit me up.
otherwise into storage it goes and that’s a shame. Just no room.
 

I am also a classically trained violinist so am preferring to sell and save up towards an NS design WAV Violin or viola for hacking motion sensors and midi and so on.
