Squier Matt Freeman Precision Bass £375 Glasgow

[Jono Bolton]

2011 Squier Matt Freeman Precision Bass in black. Bought from @casapete at the tail end of last year after having been looking for one for a while, but I'm not gelling with it. It's a little heavier than my other basses at 4.4kg which is part of the reason. It's all original and in very good condition; there are a few minor dings and some buckle marks on the rear which haven't broken the finish. Comes with a semi-hard case, and can post if required.

Really weird - after seeing the recent thread about the Matt Freeman video on here I thought I would like to try one of his P basses...

 

And now one pops up. In Glasgow. Where I am 😂

I've been up in the loft and discovered that I've got the box it was shipped to me in, so postage is available.

Pictures of the case as requested. I'm not sure what constitutes a regular Squier, but these were made in the same factory as the original Chinese Classic Vibe range, so is of a similar standard. It's modelled on Freeman's own 70s P Bass and has a hotter pickup than the Classic Vibes had, as well as a separate maple finger board (no skunk stripe).

If it helps I tried one of these along with a CV 70's, with the block inlays, back in 2014. They didn't feel really any different, though, as Jono said, the pup was brighter in the MF. I opted for the CV, but wish I'd gone with the MF, as the CV later developed a rattle within the neck.
