Musicman20 Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 To cut a long story short, a non-basschatter said he definitely wanted it, and I emailed him about 25 pictures, provided full information, to which he planned to meet. Then, he just said 'ive found another nearby'. Typical. This bass is back up for sale and is a damn good bass! £365 as Ive just had a setup done for the potential seller that let me down.....cost me £12!

Beedster Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I've played a Precision or two and I can say with some confidence that the Jap '62 RIs are amongst the best. They have something that you don't seem to find in contemporary MIA Precisions or other Jap models (although I've not played an MIA 2008/9 model which I understand to be vastly improved on earlier non-vintage MIA instruments). If it's anything like the two MIJ Precisions I've owned it will be lightweight yet solid, sweet yet powerful, and bl**dy well built; the Oly White finish is just the icing on the cake Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Blimey! Compared to my Warwicks this is like going back in time to a Penny Farthing! In a nice way. It's a lovely bass, looks gorgeous now I have replaced the weird Jap liver sausage tort PG with a Fender USA 62 RI dark tort, except the Japs routed too big so there's a little gap near the jack socket, which is also intermittent in operation. That will be my fault no doubt so I've ordered a Switchcraft jack for it. I stripped the bass, gave it a fret level and dress, deeply lemon oiled the board which is lovely and dark and silky now. Thoroughly cleaned and set up it plays really nicely. I find the action quite high but I'm used to Warwick's 3mm at the 24th. Lovely bass, really nice to meet you and your charming lady, and Clarky and his nipper of course. Hope you're enjoying Clarky's USA P! Cheers mate!
