Fender CiJ Precision £475 ***SOLD*** £475 St Helens

[bigthumb]

Due to new band and musical direction I no longer need my Precision and hate seeing it gather dust.

Now as you can see from the pictures it's not exactly mint but it is the coolest looking Precision I've owned. If you like battered old Fenders you'll probably like this. The off white colour is more yellow now and the dark tort scratch plate (Fender 60's) IMO looks great against it. I replaced the 70's style tuners with the reverse winding 60's type. I think they came off a MiM 60's Jazz, they look so much better to me. I did however snap the head off one of the screws on the D tuner, it hasn't made the slightest bit of difference and is rock solid. The pickups have been replaced with Fender American Vintage and KiOgon loom and pots fitted. A previous owner  for some reason has hacked the pickup cavity out to, I guess, accommodate a different pickup. The new pickups still sit fine and adjust with no problems. the weight is 9Lbs. 

The bass sounds great with the Labella Flatwounds fitted and was my goto bass for the time I owned it. 

The price reflects the condition and the 'modification' to the pickup cavity plus I've spent quite a bit on it what with the pups, loom, tuners and scratch plate but it was all very much worth it. I believe it's a fair price for a cracking bass. 

I'll be sorry to see it go as it is my ideal Precision and 'my' bass but I'll never use it and the cash will come in useful for other projects. 

There is no case for it so its for collection/meet only. I'll throw in a gig bag if required.

That is a great looking bass, the wear on it really makes it imo

It'll be 42mm at the nut. 60mm at the 12th and 65mm at the 20th. Around 26mm depth at the 12th.

 I have a CIJ Precision, which is very similar to this one. Plays and sounds great and, out of the 10 basses I own, it's one of my favourites.

 

Have a bump on me.

Replied and on hold.

I'm not surprised this is on hold. I'd have bought it in a heart beat if I was able! Great Precisions! Looks like a Jazz profile too. Just my thing!
