Hello all,

For sale here is my Fret-King Perception LE.

Some of you may be familiar with the brand, designed by Trev Wilkinson who I think made his name designing guitar hardware and pickups.

This particular model is a great Jazz/Precision hybrid- offering up a Jazz-shaped body (American Alder) with a Precision-profile neck (Canadian Hard-Rock maple) and a P/J pickup combo.

The neck has a natural feeling finish, and as such is very smooth to play.

The action is set up beautifully, nice and low with no fret noise at all.

This bass is in brand new condition. I only recently purchased it as 'Brand New' and since then have only used it at 4 or 5 rehersals. The protective wrap of the scratchplate is even still there.

Comes with a branded deluxe, fleece lined gigbag, as well as the original guarantee and booklet.

Here's some info on the bass at the Fret King website: [url="http://www.fret-king.com/perception4iw_spec.html"]Fret King Perception[/url]

I'm a big Fender Precision fan, and I love the way this bass sounds. Roll off the Jazz pickup and you get classic Precision. Roll off the Precision pickup and you get a funky, twangy tone. However, where it sounds best is with both pickups on full. The Precision/Jazz pickups together give a great tone that still sounds punchy like a good Precision should, but with more richness and clarity to the tone.

I sometimes find with my Precision it can sound a bit too dark and muddy, and hence I often fiddle with my EQ to try and get a clear but punchy sound. This bass gives me the sound I want right out the box, and I hardly have to touch my EQ.

All in all a very well made instrument, for a bargain price.

The RRP on this is [b][size=3]£599[/size][/b]

I will let this go for just [b][size=3]£300[/size][/b] postage included.

As in the title, I will be in London this weekend so anyone that wants to try out the bass is welcome to. Otherwise I'm based in St. Austell, Cornwall.

I will accept trades plus cash either way for the right bass, and am particularly interested in the following:

Classic Vibe series Precision
MIM Standard Precision, Highway One
Jaguar Bass
G&L tribute L2000
Musicman Stingray (would have to be a cheapie), SUB or Sterling Ray34
(plus or minus any cash adjustments)

Thanks,

The Camel's Toe

I've played one of these and they're really nice, so unusual to have a P/J with a P width neck (why are they nearly always J width?) great price there too, have a free bump.

Thanks for the interest dude but not really my thing. Bet it sounds good though.

I know, they are a real quality instrument. I love the way it plays.
