FS - Fender Precision Bitsa SOLD

What's Hot
impmannimpmann Frets: 12645
edited August 2018 in Basses £
I'm selling my Precision Bass that I've had in my home studio for many years. I put it together out of bits - actually it evolved from a Highway 1 Precision that I acquired and replaced bits on as they came along. The prices in brackets are there if you wanted it in bits  - I will part it out if there's enough interest. I'm also open to *sensible* offers.

1976 Fender USA Body, was see through wine red, stripped to natural (gloss), ash (very nice grain), all original routes etc, not too heavy (£400)
Fender Mexican Jazz Bass neck, bought new in around 2005/6, fitted with Wilkinson machine heads and factory nut, hardly played (£150)
Fender USA Pickups, from Highway 1 precision, comes with pots (can't remember source tbh) (£40)
Fender 1980s Japan bridge (£20)
Only been used by me in a home studio set up since 2005 - and rarely at that. Sounds exactly like a good precision should sound and plays very well - much easier to play thanks to the thinner Jazz bass neck. Comes with hard case (non-Fender) if bought complete. £575 £500

I'm based near Kettering, Northants (jct 10, A14) or daytimes I can usually be found in Bourne, Lincs. I wouldn't rule out a meet up.

    If you can turn up with cash in your hand, you could have the whole shebang for £450 including a rough old hard case.
    COLLECTION ONLY... sorry.

    Would you part out the body?

    To make it worthwhile and in line with other bodies of its age I’d want £350 as a bare body. Otherwise no.

    if you are serious drop me a PM

    Is this listing withdrawn because you have you have decided to keep the bitsa bass or because you have parted it out to sell the body to Hoodyy?

    If you have dismantled the bass, are the remaining parts still available?
    Be seeing you.

    It was withdrawn because no buyers.

    Hoodyy’s enquiry came after that.
    Are you interested in it, or parts of it?

    The grain looks lovely. I'm after a backup bass, but low on funds,.so everything out of pocket for now.

    GLWS. I'm sure it will sell eventually. Just need to repost/bump every few weeks.

    Only if the body had already been sold. The expense of the round trip would be over half the price that you are asking for the neck.
    Be seeing you.

    I could post the neck and or the body easily enough.

    In fact if anyone wanted it sending with the neck off, I’d be happy to discuss that.

    :-)

    OK... well, its back up for sale. Either complete or as parts (if there is sufficient interest).
    I need to sell one of my basses - so which ever sells first (this or the Shergold) determines which I'll keep. :-)
