GrammeFriday Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 (edited) For sale, this 2019 Fender American Peformer Precision in satin Lake Placid Blue. As you can see, this is actually a PJ rather than a straight Precision. The bass is passive, and the controls are vol, vol, tone, just like a Jazz. In immaculate condition apart from a bit of light wear on the pickguard. Full specs here: https://shop.fender.com/en-GB/electric-basses/precision-bass/american-performer-precision-bass/0198602302.html?rl=en_US I bought this bass on a whim last year, seduced by its gorgeous looks, awesome tones and effortless playability. I lied to myself that I would use it for the functions band I play in, but I always end up reaching for a 5-string when playing such gigs, so this bass has never left the house since I bought it, hence the immaculate condition. Part of me wants to keep this just for home use (and I have been noodling on it at home A LOT - it really is a joy to play), but another part of me is gassing for a Telecaster, and something has to give, so ... Asking £800 including postage in the UK/EU. (For reference, GAK is pricing this model at £1,099.00 new.) I'm really after a straight sale, but I will consider trades (especially if you have a nice Telecaster to offer!) Ordinarily I would encourage you to come and try before you buy at my place, but C-19 lockdown considerations preclude this at present, I'm afraid. My feedback thread is here: Thanks for looking!

Trueno Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Lovely looking bass. You should keep it and get a Squier Tele.
GrammeFriday Posted May 2, 2020 Author Posted May 2, 2020 Thanks! Actually that's not a bad idea at all - the Classic Vibe Tele has a very good rep! Hmmm....
