Marc S Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) As per title, for sale only is my 1982 Japan built JV Squier Precision bass. (EDIT: May now consider trade for a JV Jazz) For a near 40 year old bass, it's in very nice condition, with just a few light scratches and "dings" here & there (mainly on the edges of the body) There's a little light "blooming" on the Tort scratchplate, and light buckle rash on the back in the usual place. I recently had the frets professionally crowned and polished, by Dave Dearnaley the well known Cardiff Luthier. This bass sounds lovely and "warm" - absolutely spot on, nailing that vintage P bass tone. It feels lovely and "worn in / played in" The nut width feels much like any vintage P bass, but I think the neck on these early Japan FugiGen basses have a slightly shallower depth - feels very comfortable to me anyway (and I tend to prefer Jazz necks) As far as I can see, it's all original. Weight is just about bang on 4kg. I need to thin the herd, otherwise I'd be keeping this bass - but needs must... I have too many basses! So no trades please... but I may be tempted if you have a 5 string fretted Wingbass (maybe) Collection only from Cardiff - but I could be tempted to meet sellers halfway-ish. I've got Vox amp headphones so you can test it. I could also be tempted to let you have a good deal on an 80's (I believe) Roadworn Fender (G&G) Hardcase - which this bass looks lovely in Thanks for looking EDIT: I tried to show some of the light marks & dings - but the bass was too shiny!

So - wotcha sellin' cheap then? 😁 Yes, I've still got my 32" Medium Scale Japan P bass too. (Think that's a keeper, as it's even rarer, and compact & lightweight) Haven't totally made up my mind as to my next sale yet.... the jury is still out - but I've got basses I'm not playing much Edited March 11, 2020 by Marc S 1

Marc S Posted March 17, 2020 Author Posted March 17, 2020 To anyone interested - I'll now throw in that G&G Fender Hardcase for free - can't say fairer than that I'll try to get some pics of the case shortly - but you know what these cases look like, it's mid-brown faux leather covering, and dark brown fur lined.....
Marc S Posted March 21, 2020 Author Posted March 21, 2020 Just a note to say, I'm due a trip along the M4, around the Reading area - if anyone fancies meeting me there. 1
lee650 Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) That is just stunning! JV Squires are amazing, I have one. If I had the cash,id be right in there. Edited April 23, 2020 by lee650 1
inthedoghouse Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 Beautiful! Identical to the one I had in the mid 80s - what a lovely bass it was. I PX it for an old 4001 and while I certainly don't regret buying the Rick (I still have it) I wish I could have afforded to have both. And now I wish I had the money to buy this beauty. GLWTS 🙂 1
AndyTravis Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Nice - I missed my 83 Squier so much, I’ve just bought a 76p. @Stuee has my old one and won’t sell it back - they’re that good! @lee650 you need this Edited April 23, 2020 by AndyTravis 1

Marc S Posted May 12, 2020 Author Posted May 12, 2020 Just a thought. But I might consider a swap for a JV Jazz bass (I could sell my Roadworn Jazz then, and get to that "N minus one" position I'd like to be in....)
