The time has come to sell what I thought I'd be holding onto for a fair while yet. I have for sale my American-Made 1987 '62 Reissue Precision Bass. I've owned him since 2012 when I traded him with 7enderhead for a Ric. Forgive me copying across the details about him from the original Ad but it says everything that needs to be said about him. "The serial number is V023852, and the neck date is '1-6-87'. The white Nitro finish has aged into what in German would be called 'horse tooth yellow'. This nice colour is somewhat hard to photograph, but the picture gallery should give you an idea since it contains photos taken under different lighting conditions. Also included is an 'ashtray' pickup cover and the slightly battered (only on the outside) but fully functional (even the key works on the locks) tweed case. The bass has some minor issues, all concerning the finish, the biggest of which is to be found at the back of the headstock where the previous owner (or one of them damned music stores from the Eighties) obviously put a sticker which ate into the finish. The only reason I would want to let go of this instrument is that the neck measures 44 millimeters at the nut (so it's 'wide but shallow'), and - sporting very small hands - I find the change from my other basses somewhat disorienting." The bass no-longer has the East pre-amp as it installed in another bass but is otherwise as I received it. Never gigged by myself and kept in the case when not in use. These basses don't come up very often from what I can tell and I can see why. I'm only selling due to necessity otherwise I'd keep him until we grew old together (both being born in the same month of the same year) Please feel free to message me with any questions or (Very near) offers. Phil.

SOLD - thanks Andy. This Fodera Koa Monarch 6 Bolt-On is a unique and rare design. 6 strings, 33" scale length and 16.5mm bridge spacing make this the most compact 6-er Fodera build allowing the player to access all of the benefits of an extended-range instrument with maximum ease and comfort. Fast solo runs, deep pocket grooves, chording in the upper register; This bass handles it all and with authority. A mahogany body and ebony fingerboard give this bass a clear and well balanced tone with a bell-like upper register. I've photographed two small marks near the lower horn. Other than that, it's pretty much bang on. Weight according to my bathroom scales is 10.2 pounds. I'm based in Bournemouth, Dorset. Local pick up preferred but I would ship fully insured at the buyers expense and acceptance of risk. No trades please. I sold this bass before but really regretted it and was lucky enough to be able to buy it back. This time it's being sold because I've saved up the funds and commissioned a new build with Fodera.
