Fretless Fender Precision - White, MIJ, Schaller tuners - take a look!

[aj5string]

Right, I'm [u][b]thinking[/b][/u] about selling this, only because something amazing that I would really really like has come up. IF that sells before I sell this then I will gladly keep it as it is an amazing bass, and really does sound superb.



It is a MIJ Fender body, with original MIJ Pickups bridge etc... in a lovely authentic aged white (as it is an early 80s body). The neck is a might mite, with some nice flaming, and a really really nice profile - Jazz width really. It has schaller tuners. TBH - looks stunning with the white body, black hardware and unlined black fretboard.

Check the pics - admittedly, not the best but the lights a bit funny.

Like I said, if this doesn't sell I won't be gutted at all, and will happily keep it.

[u][b]Will sell for £300[/b][/u]

Gonna whack it on Ebay - but priority will still be to Basschatters....

I put this bass together and ended up swapping it for Alex's fretless Warwick Fortress. I felt I need an active bass to match my Corvette $$. This really is a lovely bass. And it does look ace.

Have a bump on me, mate.

EDIT: It's a 1992 btw. All original apart from the neck obviously.

Looks nice - does this have side dots? And is the neck a typical P profile?

[aj5string]

It has side dots - where the frets would be... prob the best option for an unlined fretless imho.

The neck is more Jazz than Precision I would say.

Hope that helps.

I can confirm that you will love this bass. I kinda wish I still had it. I was going to put an ACG pre in it because I need an active FL but thought better of it. It plays beautifully. Really lovely neck and those Schallers are fantastic tuners. I reckon £300 is a bit of a bargain thb.

Alex, is the fretboard ebony or rosewood (or other)? Also, can you provide a pic showing the back of the neck and body. Ta, Ian

[aj5string]

Hi - i think the fretboard is actually ebanol - but not 100% on that... its very dark, and scrubs up really well; with very few string marks on it (I'm using half wounds and have used flats and rounds in the past).

I'll sort a pic asap...

[aj5string]

Pics as requested - really hard to get the flame on the neck, but you can get the idea i hope!
