SOLD Squier Classic Vibe 60s Precision £275 Bournemouth

[Mickeyboro]

SOLD Bought as a backup to my 1971 Precision but it is immediately clear it is too nice for the job. Supposedly 2019 but is in unplayed, pristine condition. 
Newly strung with D’Addario 45-105, it comes complete with a Fender gig bag. Probably the nicest looking Precision I have owned, and shows why Classic Vibes have an amazing reputation. 

Personal/postal delivery  options available.

I realise I probably haven’t tried hard enough to sell this. But to be honest it is so tempting to keep it.

The pickup alone is astounding - I was impressed with the Bruce Thomas Profile pickup, but this is very much in that league. Okay, we may not always want the roar, but it’s very present and much louder/aggressive than my 71P. Yet the tone control is far more effective, so you hit the Motown mark before maximum cut is reached.

I bought this because I missed a Chinese CV I used to own several years ago. It is definitely its equal, even though those early CVs now sell for £400 plus. A classy, well-made instrument with fantastic neck/pocket fit, the tinted neck and headstock sets it apart from the competition. 

As I may have mentioned, it has looks to die for... how do they do it at the price? And don’t forget you get a decent Fender gig bag to keep it looking good.

Agree these are fantastic instruments and the antidote to all the Fender haters. Don’t want to pay a premium but do want a great looking / sounding bass? Buy a used CV.
