kasbridge Posted August 10, 2020 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...... Edited September 1, 2020 by MB1 Incorrect image file format used! 3
italiancross Posted August 11, 2020 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!

GLWS! Had an 80s P like this really regret getting rid of it (it's even in my tumbnail) tempting... Edited August 11, 2020 by Joebethell More words 1
