kasbridge Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) For Sale my 1983 USA Precision in black with white pickguard. Very clean condition, very lightly used, a few surface marks and minor dings which are difficult to photograph. Plays really nicely with a great P-bass tone. Hardware and electronics appear original. Very light for an 80s P at 3.7kg verified with a digital luggage scale. No case but can package securely for shipment at buyers cost. No trades thanks. Only selling as I need to reduce the collection - Spector NS5-XL, John Suhr Jazz and others to follow......

italiancross Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 A beautiful bass! I have an identical one, also from 1983, and this is an often overlooked era in which Fender produced very nice instruments, very well finished and with a great sound. Mine is also 3.8 kg. light and well balanced. Too often the instruments born out of the 1983-84 production (the popular Dan Smith era) are confused with the late 70's ones which had heavy bodies and didn't always show an accurate quality control level.

GLWS! Had an 80s P like this really regret getting rid of it (it's even in my tumbnail) tempting...
