Fender American Vintage II ‘54 Precision. Lightweight. - *SOLD* £1295 Gloucestershire

[MungoBass]

Up for sale is my immaculate (as new) American Vintage II Precision. 

Vintage Blonde over a lightweight Ash body with a one piece Maple neck. The tinted nitrocellulose finish on the headstock, fingerboard and neck and is showing some nice ‘checking’ so it should age really nicely.

 

It has hardly been played and still has the plastic film on the pickguard. There are no dinks, scratches or marks anywhere, it really is as new.

 

The original Fender flatwounds are still bright and the action has been lowered from the factory settings. It plays (and sounds) great.

 

It has the unmounted chrome covers, certificate of authenticity and other leaflets plus the keys for the equally immaculate G&G Deluxe Case.

 

Collection in person is most welcomed but postage can be arranged at the buyer’s cost and risk. I do have a Fender shipping box if required.

Beautiful bass

They are lovely basses. Played one at The Bass Gallery a few weeks ago and was rather taken with it. GLWTS 👍

glorious!

Beautiful in its functional simplicity.  Unplayable for me given neck dimensions, but something I'd love to own and enjoy just for its classic looks (not that I have the cash for such fripperies).  I suspect that someone will cherish this

Thank you, it is a beautifully simple bass! Have been a Jazz Bass and skinny neck fan for 40 or so years, I never thought I could transition to a Precision neck of any kind! However, I now love the wide C necks at 45mm and this one although it has more depth is narrower at just over 43mm, which makes it very playable for me. 
 

I’m hoping it will find a good home!

I will weigh the bass over the weekend. It is certainly under 9lbs.

I think Prince said it best.

Just under 8 and a half pounds or 3.85kgs.

I’m a little surprised both this and David’s other P bass are still up for sale. Got to be honest, if I had the cash I’d buy this one in a heart beat, it ticks a lot of boxes for me. Rest assured David doesn’t buy or sell anything that’s not top notch and he’s a great guy too.

Thank you Don, that’s most kind of you. Hope you are well and still enjoying that lovely ‘58 AVRI Precision…..
