Squier Classic Vibe 50s Precision - Lake Placid Blue - PRICE DROP: £300 £350 Glasgow

Price: £300

 

Squier Classic Vibe 50s Precision Bass in Lake Placid Blue. Made in China in 2008; one of the original run. I bought this recently but I don't need it.

 

I've done some work in tidying it up as there were a few things that needed doing; most of the mismatched screws have been replaced with proper pickguard screws, the tuners were quite hazy so have been cleaned as best I can, the bridge was disassembled, cleaned, and oiled and is fully working though some rust and pitting remains. I've added some push-on flat top knobs, a spare neck plate, and a rosewood finger rest and given it a polish to remove the gunk that was on there.

 

There are a few dings around the body but the neck is in good shape. A couple of jobs that need attending to are the rust on the pickup pole pieces and a loose jack socket cup that I'll try and look at over the next day or two. It comes with both bridge and pickup ashtrays and includes a basic rectangular hardcase that is in good nick. I have a box so postage is available, or it can be tried out and picked up in Glasgow.

These are lovely to play. I tried a few in the range when they first came out but being a lefty i prefer symmetrical basses if I'm flipping them upside down. Did borrow one with flats for recording a couple times. 😎

It's a nice bass but I already have a butterscotch one and I don't really need two of them. In honesty, it was an eBay purchase that I didn't expect to win!

The jack cup has been replaced with a more secure screw-in version, and the rust on the polepieces, while not perfect, is mostly away.

Price drop to £330 - £50 less than I paid for it just 2 weeks ago and I'll I've done to it in that time is clean it up a bit.
