Sold - Fender Classic 50's Precision Bass - Now £650 £750 Bristol

[Burns-bass]

What. beauty!

This is a very lovely 2010 Fender Classic 50's Precision Bass in sunburst. This has the ultra-wide fretboard and packs a massive punch, sounding every bit like a classic Precision bass from your favourite hits. 

Period features include a delicious (and widely discussed) poly finish, open-back tuners, vintage-style Precision Bass split-coil pickup, gold anodized pickguard, 7.25" fretboard radius.  It's made in Mexico, but don't let that put you off. It's a beauty. Comes with barely stroked D'Addario Chromes which provide the vintage thump you need.

As you can see, it's in lovely condition. Would prefer collection from Bristol, but could ship in the UK if you are prepared for me to wait and get the right packing materials and pay for a case. 

Take a look at the pics and email if you want more detail. 

Looking for £650

Reason for sale is that I'm just getting rid of basses I don't play.

Would go wonderfully with the Markbass I sold you (if you still have it)

Sadly that went a while ago.  I'll PM you shortly.

Lots of lovely interest, but still here. I really love this bass, so hope it finds a new home. I’ve managed to find a case for this too should postage be necessary.

Lovely bass, but these had a poly finish not nitro mate.

I don't want to get into a discussion about Fender finishes (it's the world's dullest discussion point, I reckon), but here's the official Fender description of the bass which I've used below. If anyone from Mexico wants to chime in then please do!

The Classic Series '50s Precision Bass Lacquer delivers the distinctive 1950s-era look, sound and vibe of those first Fender basses, with vintage style and an authentic nitrocellulose lacquer finish on its alder body. Other features include a "C"-shaped maple neck, 7.25"-radius maple fingerboard with 20 vintage-style frets and black-dot inlays, vintage-style split single-coil pickup, gold anodized pickguard, four-saddle American Vintage bass bridge, and vintage-style reverse tuners.

It's not a dull discussion point if someone ends up disappointed by their purchase. I'm just trying to save you a headache later on too. My intentions are well meant friend..

The MIM Classic 50s Lacquer Precision was only offered in Black and White Blonde finishes. Fact. They were more expensive than the regular MIM Classic 50s Precisions that had a polyurethane finish, which were available in 2 tone Sunburst (the bass you have for sale), Fiesta Red and Honey Blonde.

I'm not Mexican, just well informed.  😉

Fair enough. Man beats internet.

Can we call that a Mexican stand off?!

Let's hope it turs into a Mexican sell-off.

These are future classics

Bump for a weekend. I’ve now found a case for this!

[bigthumb]

Couldn't give a sod what the finish is. That really is lovely! 😍

[Burns-bass]

I’ve reduced the price to £675, including a very old and battered Fender moulded hard case. 

[Burns-bass]

Still need to sell this. How about £650?
