Bitsa “Fender” precision - read upgrade list! - *SOLD* £225 Manchester

[AndyTravis]

Bought this beauty from Gyrus last month…

 

it was bought to be a “spare” but ended up so much more…

 

 

so, I bought it with a Squier pickup and loom, dodgy tuners (listed as such).

 

first move - tuners.

 

1980’s Tokai Japan units - work well, big backplate jobbies…

 

 

then a posh p pickup - Lakland USA unit

 

Brand new strap buttons - Gotoh oversized fitted…

 

and a new fender pickup cover/ashtray fitted…

 

 

the good…

 

it plays and sounds ace

its very light - 8lbs

it really, really looks the part

the neck is gorgeous, maple cap on maple, truss Rod works well 

 

the bad…well, not horrific 

body is a ply job, but it’s decent

pickup is a bit misaligned - on d/g side, there is a pickguard on the way to sort, if it arrives after you buy it; I’ll post it on.

 

 

 

Body is probably 80’s Korean or Japanese

Neck is 70’s Japanese; the decal is over the lacquer so can be sanded off - but it looks ace.

 

there are marks/dinks/scratches. But it’s a very solid bass. Sounds warm and lovely, but can bite/spank.

 

postage will be £20 in UK

i will accept 

cash on collection 

bank transfers 

PP G&S (I can invoice for pp credit) - plus fees

PP F&F if I know you or have sold to you before.

 

only reason for sale is that a Yamaha I’ve been after has come up…
