blazer3 Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 Ive decided that i want to start a precision project so this body has to go to get the precision project ball rolling. I bought this as a full bass 4 months ago and immediately got rid of the neck as it was way to bulky and just didnt feel right, i know im gonna take a massive loss on this but its just not gonna get finished. The good news is the body is 99.9% mint, there are some small scratches at the back of the bridge where i"ve changed strings but other than that its immaculate. the body is made from solid alder, the pickups are johnson/EMG. I"m not sure of the exact colour but im pretty sure its as close to Fiesta Red as your gonna get. I"m open to offers on this. I Also have a brand new chrome bridge cover thats never been on a bass, its no good to me so if anyone has a chrome bridge cover for a precision and they fancy swapping that would be great. Get that jazz project you"ve always promised yourself started, this is a seriously nice body.
blazer3 Posted November 30, 2009 Author Posted November 30, 2009 This is the chrome cover, nice and shiny
blazer3 Posted December 2, 2009 Author Posted December 2, 2009 If i had advertised this body has having seymour duncan pickups with cts pots and swithcraft jack then people would have been all over this advert like a ferret up a drainpipe, but because the name is "Johnson" all the bass snobs automatically think its a load of c**p, the body is a solid Alder body which is a quality piece of wood which ever way you look at it, i suggest all you bass snobs really get a life as your giving all genuine bass players a bad name. The original advert i had no replies but no doubt i"ll have plenty replies to this one. Get a grip people, your an embarrasment to the bass playing community
Mr. Foxen Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 What became of the neck? I like those necks. Johnsons do make a good basis for mods (I've got through a couple), but hurling abuse at your target audience might not be ideal way to go.

Guest BassKS Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I suppose he got a bit frustrated. Fair enough, stuff sometimes dont shift as quickly as want it to.
raze Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 LMFAO I think a price might have done your sale more good that a load of abuse I personally cant even be arsed to ead the rest of the advert if I cant see a price
chriswilliams666 Posted December 2, 2009 Posted December 2, 2009 I have a Johnson White P-Bass here if anyone is after a project bass. Its immaculate, as new. Again solid Alder body, good hardware!

I doubt it.
Scot Bass Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 Chris - PM'd Be calm people - it's only a bass.
waynepunkdude Posted December 3, 2009 Posted December 3, 2009 I have a VMJ neck that would look good on that, but I have to agree with the other posters, bad form.
