Clarky Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) Bought on this forum in April for £2200 and basically the same condition etc, bar changed strings for 'old school' style Pyramid flatwounds (has tweed hard case, candy etc etc). Obviously not left the house in that time ... Original FS ad link here: I adore the looks and the history but - having given it a couple of months 'crack of the whip' - I just am not comfortable with the chunky neck over extended periods of playing (I prefer short/medium scale and my other Precision has a skinny 70's neck). I broke my left hand a decade ago and I cannot cope with clubbier necks, unfortunately, despite how lovely this bass is. Socially-distanced handover in SW13 (south of Hammersmith) or post for £30 on top within UK (£60 to EU). Pics below including two different 'tug bars', original maple and black dyed maple one courtesy of Rick's Fine '52 PS, no trades thanks. Kind of need the money given COVID impact on finances Edited August 16, 2020 by Clarky 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Some more pics to show the excellent condition. PS, these are over £3k new (when you can find one). £3,147 here https://www.projectmusic.net/fender-custom-shop-vintage-custom-1951-precision-bass-22967-p.asp PPS, in case you were wondering from the pics, its currently in a Mono gigbag (as its easier to schlep around) but will be sold with its original tweed CS hard case Edited July 4, 2020 by Clarky 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
