tombboy Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) My new band do a lot of songs that require a 5 string bass so I need one pretty sharpish... Up for trade is my 1981 Fender Precision Special finished in Metallic Candy Apple Red (almost burgundy). Lots of natural mojo in this. Beedster was the previous owner and replaced the pup with an active Basslines one and put on a black scratchplate. Plays beautifully, with a huge P sound. Gold hardware.... I also have the original pup cover and brass thumbrest, which I will include. Comes with a Fender gigbag. Saleprice is £800.00 + courier. Trade wise, I'm looking for a 'traditional' looking 5 string, ie: Precision, Jazz, 'Ray etc. Nothing pointy or hair metal please as I have none!! Please PM me with what you have. Based in Brandon, Suffolk. Edited September 28, 2010 by tombboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime_BASS Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Is that a nitro finish then? I haven't seen that kind "mojo" on a poly finish before, also I though specialscame with a bridge jazz pup. What makes this special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombboy Posted August 15, 2010 Author Share Posted August 15, 2010 Yep.... nitrose finish with some lovely crackling coming through as well. The specials were a run that Fender did between '79 and '82 which featured all gold hardware, high class nitrose finish and an active pre-amp. The bass also featured an upgraded bridge with is much more substantial that the traditional Fender bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I bought it off him in this condition (plus the thumbrest and pup cover). Maybe a PM to Chris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
