***WITHDRAWN*** Fender American Special Precision bass with D-tuner Ultralites. 7 3/4 lb! £725 Northampton

Withdrawn.

 

It's too nice. I played it loads last night. I can't do it.

 

Even with a set of 'not very precision' Prosteels it has such a wide range of sounds with the tone control, and with the low weight etc I doubt I'd find another one when I inevitably regretted the sale.

 

I'm keeping it.

 

 

Thank you to all who made enquiries, even the guy who asked if I would hand deliver it to North Wales....

I got all wallet excited until I saw the back of the headstock.

I understand why & I know they are good tuners but.................... 😔

 

When you put the replacement tuners on, did you leave the original shaft sleeves on the front of the headstock?

I know they can be a pig to remove.

I've found it easy to tap out the shaft sleeves using a correct diameter socket and a rubber mallet.

No - they came out smoothly

 

I have a lot of experience putting hipshots on.

Thanks gents.

Sadly my DIY mentor was Frank Spencer.

I made the mistake of spending the evening playing it.

 

It's so nice.
