*ON HOLD* Fender Vintera ll (The one with the Slab Rosewood fingerboard) 60’s Precision Bass + Hard Case, Ti Flats & Free Delivery. £650 North Staffordshire

[dodgnofski]

According to the ‘in house’ Economist - my already small collection needs to be reduced by 50%😟. (I seem to remember the same thing happened about 30 years ago when I had four motorbikes)🙈🙈.

 

In excellent virtually as new condition - I can’t see any marks anywhere (apart from the impression on the pick guard of where the Tug Bar was, which I will refit before selling) It plays like a dream with a low action all the way up the neck thanks to a straight neck, level frets plus a really good set up and it sounds like a P Bass should. 

 

I have owned several AVRI’s in the past and in my humble opinion this plays just as good as any of them, but at a fraction of the price. So these are possibly the least expensive way of getting that pre CBS look, sound & feel, apart from maybe a Bitsa / Triggers Broom jobbie. 
 

The Olly white finish ‘in the flesh’ is not as bright as the photographs depict and has a nice vintage darker hue to it.

 

Shoulder friendly weight of 3.8kg, or 8.36lbs in old money.

 

Incredibly accurate 60’s features such as solid Alder Body, wide but shallow from front to back 1.75” at the nut Maple neck, Slab Rosewood 7.25” radius fingerboard, ‘threaded’ vintage style bridge, reverse wind tuners - which are superb quality and Fender Vintage ‘60s Split Single-Coil Precision.

 

Comes complete with an old Kinsman plush lined hard case which has seen better days + someone has stuck some stickers on it, which could be removed if they bothered you & all but two of the catches need attention, but it still does an excellent job of protecting against knocks when in transit.

 

Currently sporting a set of Thomastik Infeld flat wounds.

 

If you are too far away to collect, l can arrange postage to the U.K. Mainland only - sorry, via Parcelforce Express 24 and Insured by Secursus.
