SOLD. 2012 Fender AVRI 57 Precision. White blonde, gold guard, maple neck. £1050. £1050 Bidston, Wirral

[vinorange]

Up for sale is my 2012 American Vintage Reissue 57 Precision bass in white blonde with gold pickguard, maple neck, vintage correct cloth wired 57 pickup with raised A string pole pieces, threaded saddle bridge, serial number on the neck plate, finger rest and bridge cover. No sign of the pickup cover though I'm afraid. This has a one piece ash body with one piece maple neck so a real bit of work from Fender here.

 

I hankered after one of these for ages but the nut width is no good for me, I’m more a jazz width player so I’m afraid that, incredible looking as it is, this has to go. It’s in great condition with just a few dings in the finish on the bottom edge. The neck is a 7.25” radius with 1.75” width at the nut. It sounds and plays great and having the thin nitro finish is very resonant. I don’t think there’s a better looking P bass and I’ll be sad to say goodbye. FYI it weighs in at 4.3kg and has standard strap pins on (I have some Schallers if anyone would prefer them....)

 

I’m not really after any trades but would maybe consider a cheaper P bass. Based on the Wirral but I can meet up within 50 miles or so but will ship it anywhere. Comes in an SKB Fender hard case but I'm not sure whether it’s original or not?
