Fender neck / Northwest Relic Precision £750 Thurso

[Bassman1974]

For sale I have my lovely Precision. I'm really gravitating toward my Jazz basses nowadays, so this one isn't getting out of the cupboard much. I dare say I'll probably regret this sale given time, but it seems pointless to have it gathering dust. Spec:

 

Neck: Fender American Standard Rosewood dated 2005. Straight and true. Beautiful silky smooth finish on the rear. An absolute joy to move around.

 

Body: Northwest New Ash. Originally painted with poly, it was fully stripped back before having some nitro / varnish thrown at it. It was then rubbed back to show the effect that you can see in the photos. It's stunning. No gouges as such. Some light scratches. You can see a natural shiny mark where my wrist has been sitting during playing. The weight is very light indeed. Black shielded pickguard. I think I've a dark tort guard I could include also.

 

Pickups / controls: EMG Geezer. Sounds nice and punchy.

 

Metalwork: Gotoh vintage bridge. Gotoh vintage tuners. I had to reuse the original bushings for the tuners as the Gotoh ones were a touch loose. I roughed them up a bit. Looks fine I think. Bronze coloured control knobs. Relic pickguard screws.

 

Strings: Fender 9050 .100 flats. A few years old now, so nice and worn in. Could also fit some excellent DR Roundwounds if the new owner would prefer these.

 

I'll attach a few picks of the various pickguards I've fitted in the past.

 

Located in Thurso, miles from anywhere. Post will be required I'd imagine. I'd really prefer to send this in a hard case, of which I've none spare at the moment. I'm sure a solution could be found though.

 

Edit: I'm not looking for trades at the moment. I've decided that 6 other bass guitars are enough.

 

Cheers all.

Gorgeous looking bass!

 

At the risk of derailing your thread, I'd say if it were fretless, it could be considered very 'Beedsteresque' (if such a word existed @Beedster? 😁)

 

Anyway, back on topic, it's a seriously cool looking P Bass and best of luck with the sale! 👍😊

Cheers Nik,

 

No rush to sell here, other than to create a bit more needed space,. It'll happily sit in the cupboard until it leaves for adventures new.
