Guest MoJo Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) As the title says, I’m offering my Bass Collection Profile Bass up for sale. Designed at the Bass Centre in collaboration with Elvis Costello and the Attractions Bassist, Bruce Thomas, to replicate as closely as possible, the Fender Precision that he played on all the hits but had subsequently been sadly stolen. It’s in excellent condition as can be seen from the photos below and comes with it’s original padded gig bag. It’s a relatively light 7.9lbs with a slim, satin finished neck, somewhere between a Precision and a Jazz neck, topped with an ebony fretboard. Frets are beautifully finished making it a joy to play. Only thing of note to mention are the plugged screw holes on the back of the headstock where Gotoh tuners were fitted in the past (pictured below) I’ve also included a couple of videos that I’ve recently recorded to give you an idea of how it sounds It’s collection only I’m afraid although I’m willing to travel up to 40 miles from my DY3 home address to meet the buyer. A chance to buy a bass which Bruce himself has said to me, is better than a Fender, for less than what you’d pay for a s/h Mexican Fender Edited August 9, 2020 by MoJo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellzero Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Excellent bass at a more than bargain price and great playing too. Really sounds like the vintage Fender's I had, but with a bit more definition in the notes. A total success. Someone will have a terrific bass ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewblack Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Damn but that's a very good price for an awful lot of bass. Welcome to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
