Tee Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) A 70s style US Precision, without the vintage price or weight! For sale is my (Z5 serial) 2005 USA Fender Precision FSR (Factory Special Run). It is all original, with no mods. It's in very good shape, bar one ding/mojoing, whatever you call it, on the upper horn (pictured). It's strung with DR Lo-Riders and comes with its original Fender hardcase. It's also quite light and i'd say the olympic white finish is slightly mellower/yellower/creamier than my '08 Precision (when compared side by side). It has a Fender 60th anniversary badge on the reverse of the headstock too. Comes with truss rod adjuster and Fender Cloth, (unopened, in the case). What is/what makes it a factory special run? It's finished in Olympic white - a colour that was not a standard colour with the previous batch of US standard Fender Precisions (Pre '08). It has factory fitted Schaller strap locks, as standard. A black pickguard as standard. 70s Fender decal logo. Essentially, it mixes the looks of a 70s precision with modern specs (string thru/strap locks etc). Looking for [s]£600[/s] [s]£575[/s] [s]£550[/s] SOLD cheers. Edited September 1, 2010 by Tee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quatschmacher Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 What is the nut width on this? Is it standard P width or is it more like the slimmer 70s P necks? Is the truss rod adjustable without having to take the neck off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 It's a standard nut width. You can adjust the truss rod without taking the neck off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noisyjon Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I'm really so very gutted I can't explain Just bought [i]exactly[/i] one of these from Ishibashi and it's sitting at the PF depot awaiting the charges to be paid... It's going to have cost me just shy of a Grand to get it in my sweaty, grubby hands. Ho hum. Better be a good one after all that! I think the moral here is - Great bass, Great price and somebody will get a good deal here. Have a sorry arsed bump on me! ATB, Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I could have bought this one, and had yet another Precision However, this colour scheme is obviously popular, so shouldn`t be a problem selling.

Noisyjon Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Maybe we should start a club Lozz196?!

Quatschmacher Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) Wish I had known about this last week, I was in London! I'm really tempted but am concerned the neck would be too wide for me. If it has the same specs as the American Standard P then the nut is 41.3mm (the CIJ reissue has a 40mm nut). 41.3mm is also the width of a Stingray nut. Is the neck profile as chunky as a Stingray? I can't get on with standard Ray necks, but perhaps P necks are shaped differently? Also, what is the neck radius? Sorry for all the questions; never having played a P-bass means I have very little idea how they feel (I learned on a Jazz).

Tee Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'm not really familiar with Stingrays, sorry. All i know is that it's a pretty normal/classic feeling P bass neck, ie bigger than a jazz. I don't tend to worry about the rest. I think it's a 9.5 radius fingerboard.
