    I owned a Precision Walnut Special back in the early '80s, bought it brand new. An expensive piece of gear it was and likely my favourite Fender P out of the myriad that I've owned over the past 45 years. Never have I seen a bridge like that on any Fender bass from this era which doesn't necessarily mean it's not original...another head scratcher from the Dan Smith era I guess. These are exceptionally well-made instruments in my limited experience. May you get to play it in good health and enjoy it thoroughly!

    I must admit that playing an Eb neck has me keeping well clear of that end of the neck. If the bass is one you will keep, fashioning a new nut makes a lot of sense. It can sit on the present fingerboard.

    I think you can hook up a morning star midi device and access more preset sets but that another cost.

    Digital desks are great. But sometimes it is good to have one knob per function all laid out logically. And that analogue tone, maaaahn... Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro. 4 mic channels, 8 line ins on 4 x stereo channels. 2 x aux and 3 band eq. It will come in a tatty but functional bag - £95 Mackie 1402 VLZ Pro. 6 mic channels, 8 line ins on 4 x stereo channels. Same aux and EQ. And a much nicer bag. And faders. £120 Sometimes it is good to have the flexibility digital offers. Behringer XR12 in flightcase. Not really used. Bought on here because I NEEDED it. But then I did not - £135

    I've never seen this style of bridge, it isn't the most aesthetically pleasing piece of irnmongery I've seen. I do however remember the 1982 Fender Precision Bass Special Walnut looking like this, having seen them at the time:

    Yes, built in ballast. I have not yet received the bass. If its a boat anchor, then there is a return policy. However the price was good and it appears to be a rare one.

    The apparent downside to Markbass amps is the agency they use for servicing. I read enough bad feeling on here that I crossed them off my list of possible upgrades. David

    Hello. This is my first post here in the forum. Earlier today, I purchased a 1982 Precision Bass Special in walnut, from an online dealer. I will receive the bass sometime next week. I did research and have found that these are fairly rare basses. This bass appears to be in all original very good/excellent condition. However what has me curious is this very large half moon shaped hi-mass brass bridge. Its engraved "Fender pat. pending" and appears to be original to this bass. Does anyone have any info on this bridge? I searched up and down the web for info on it but came up empty. The only other one that Ive found is on a current listing from Japan on ebay for a 1982 in Alpine white, which has this bridge, although that one is pretty beaten up. Any insight on this? Was this a prototype bridge only in limited production? Thanks in advance. Photo of the body of the bass I bought in walnut, and the alpine white one in Japan below.
