*** REDUCED TO £1200 ono ***

 

Selling a 1981 Fender Special in what used to be Lake Placid Blue that has now aged into a beautiful shade of green. 

 

The bass has plenty of genuine mojo and finish craze and it's clear it has been used non stop for a long time. At some point a bridge pickup has been added and it has been wired passively; it's now Volume Volume Tone. The switch is series/parallel for the neck pickup. Unfortunately I don't have the original preamp but I do have the original pickup however one side needs rewinding so I have installed a Di Marzio in its place. The bass has recently had a partial refret and general setup and it's ready to be played and gigged and loved for many years to come.

 

Bass will come in a Hiscox case. Happy to use Paypal as long as buyer is happy to cover fees. I am willing to ship or happy to drive for fuel money as well. Based in St Albans, Hertfordshire.

 

Tradeswise I am only interested in a 5 string PJ setup. Any questions, fire away!

My favourite Fender basses!  I’ve had a few of these and rare to find them with the original thumb rest. What’s the weight on this? They’re often ridiculously heavy (though a mate of mine has a real featherweight)? Love the transformed colour on this one

The colour is amazing, very hard to capture it in photo. My bathroom scale says the bass is exactly 5kg so not the lightest but I've been doing functions with it and never had any problems. A good strap takes care of it 😊

Chameleon or Flip Flop paint...

Used quite a bit by TVR cars and CCM Motorcycles...

 

As for the relic look... poorly packaged and sent to a mate that lives miles away by DPD... then get them to return it my Hermes or Yodel...

 

You should get it back in about 4 months in that sort of condition...
