Dood Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 However I maybe forced to, due to GAS.. guh!! Information to follow next week.. Just a possible heads up. I'll stick some pics in later. Black on black, 'US' pups, ungigged, never left the house. As I bought it.. New pickguard
Thunder Fingers Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 NICE! just... NICE! One day i will have one like that, good luck with your sale. i guess you dont want a Hughes & Kettner amp in trade?
neilb Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 my fav colour combo of all, very JJ Burnell!!!!!
BB2000 Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 It's a pity they don't offer a maple neck option on these 70's models. Terrible thing GAS.
simon1964 Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 I've got CIJ 70s P in white. It's the nicest Precision I've played by a country mile! Have a bump on me for a very nice bass!
Dood Posted November 23, 2007 Author Posted November 23, 2007 Thank you folks. I am doing my uttmost to keep it to be honest, but there's something I really want and.. well you know the story! Cushion not included!

Dood Posted November 23, 2007 Author Posted November 23, 2007 Yes, isn't it the PB70US-88 model or something with the maple neck? edit: no... it's this one SEXAY [url="http://item.rakuten.co.jp/shimokura-gakki/pb70_93/"]http://item.rakuten.co.jp/shimokura-gakki/pb70_93/[/url]

The neck is jazz width. Anyway, back on topic. Lovely lovely bass, I cant believe you could bear to part with it. Must be serious GAS. do tell.

I've always considered black/black/maple to be a classic 70's Precision look.
Frusty Posted November 24, 2007 Posted November 24, 2007 (edited) Very, very nice. Personally I prefer the black scratchplate. If it was a 62 Reissue then I would have been very interested, as I was thinking of picking up something with a James Jamerson vibe to it. However this is a sweet looking bass too.

You can save £360 on that by buying direct from Ishibashi...!
Dood Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 Hey everyone. Thank you for your patience. I am sorry to say to those who have put in an offer on my bass.. I am withdrawing it from sale. It looks like I will be able to keep it after all, due to a delay in GAS circumstances lol Apologies and thanks for the interest. I guess it has reminded me how sought after the Non-Export CIJ basses are! All the best, dood.
