Fender American Professional II Precision Miami Blue - *SOLD* £1150 Sheffield

[Quatschmacher]

Only had this a few weeks. I’d picked it up partly to see if I had changed my opinion on maple boards. I haven’t; they sound great when others play them but I prefer rosewood. I have one of these in Olympic White with a rosewood board and I simply prefer the sound of that, so no need to have two of these basses.

It’s in exactly the condition I received it in, which is absolutely outstanding. It was only ever played at home apparently. It was bought new from Guitar Guitar in July. 

 

Had a luthier setup and is strung with a new set of Rotosound flats that are just starting to break in nicely. 

 

It’s a difficult colour to capture on camera. These pictures are reasonably close but it looks a fair bit greener in the flesh.

 

Weight is 4.29kg.
 

Collection from Sheffield preferred but could drop off around Yorkshire or somewhere along the motorway route between Sheffield and Bath (on the M42, M5, M4 corridor).

 

Postage is also an option as I have the original box, but being around for a courier to collect is more problematic, but not impossible.

 

Price is firm and is as cheap as I’ve ever seen these come up for.

 

No trades - need money for other stuff. 
 

Any questions, please drop me a line.

It is indeed, though it’s really hard to photograph accurately. You really need to see it in person to get a true representation.

I really love the contrast with the black p/g and tinted maple🤪

No problems at all, Peter!

 

Fab bass that I'm sure another BC''er will cherish. 

 

Although I take zero responsibility for the carpet in my pics. That was here when we moved in, LOL! 😁

Forgot to add, this will also come with the original mint pickguard.

Indeed it is. It’s growing on me more now the strings are breaking in a bit.

£1249 new or used? Where was that? Cheapest I’ve seen new was about £1649.

IMO It looks stunning with that white scratchplate.

It’s actually mint green, but yes, I love that look. I just don’t want to be cack-handed in trying to swap it myself as I’ve not opened up a P bass myself yet.

Guys, I apologise i got mixed up.

Indeed. Had a few people contact me via Reverb but nothing I was willing to go with yet.

 

It’s sounding better the more these flats break in.

For a more accurate colour representation I used a Pantone colour match card with their app. They give this:

It does vary a fair bit depending on the ambient lighting conditions.
