Fender American Vintage Precision, complete with all covers, DR FatBeam strings, original AV-series case & all case candy.

essexbasscat Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 You would sell this now. It's almost too nice to pass up. But I'm commited elsewhere. Drat.

Musicman20 Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 That Deluxe must have been something to give up the Holy Grail of Precision tone!

[/quote] It must. Rich was raving about the 62P last week; as I am still. Anyway, it's a relief that I don't have to buy it because I've already got one. These basses are really fantastic - especially if you like vintage looks, feel, and tone.

Not to mention the fact that I've been doing some consultancy work for the dealer in question & I'll get it at a lovely price as well
GreeneKing Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 I'm surprised that this is up for sale so quickly Rich Having owned active Fenders in the past I can't help wondering if you're not going to regret this. Here's me wishing I still used 4 strings

We'll see what happens, but as you know yourself, when you play a Status as your main bass, everything else is optional!

Yes, there are two or three crews doing this tour until the end of the summer. Ours is the one with the Jeff Hooper band. Glad to hear Mrs.ET & her Mum enjoyed the show, though
martthebass Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Don't need to say 'told yer so' Rich The only basses that stand the test of time in your house begin and end with an S. You will save yourself time and effort once you allow yourself to realise this. Tho I guess you'd have less fun......

Sibob Posted May 9, 2010 Posted May 9, 2010 Wow, got enough winding on your string pegs there? Looks like a beauty, If I wasn't saving for an old one........well, then I'd be a bit richer......but I am, so good luck Si

That's just how the string winding should be - Creates more downforce on the end of the string and thusly more tension. But then again, what do I know? I usually play headless basses!
