2008 USA model just after the S-1 switch had been discontinued from the Precisions.

Fender Mustang Bass MIJ reissue In excellent condition, comes with a Fender gig bag. I've recently noticed the tone pot is a little looser than the volume pot but neither affect the overall sound and neither pot is noisy. Bass was set up at McIntyre Guitars in Edinburgh last year. Currently strung with D'Addario Chrome Flats. Collection is preferred but I can potentially meet somewhere if need be, or buyer can organise courier (as I do have a box that will work). Buyer is responsible for any Paypal fees. SOLD

Excellent bass, with a great warm woody tone. Very LOW action & very light weight. I upgraded the bass with a Fender Pure Vintage Bass Bridge, which gives a better tone / sustain. Strings can be perfectly fit to the center of the poles pieces of the pickup. Bass is strung with my strings signature (45/105) in roundwound, from Skull Strings. Bass sounds great for Pick, Slap or Fingerstyle. (Also tried it with flats & it sounds great) The bass will come with a light weight GIG Bag. (Truss rod works perfectly and frets are in excellent condition) Body : Nato Neck : Maple Fingerboard : Maple with black block inlays, 9,5 inches (Radius), 20F Pickups : Fender Designed Controls : Volume, Tone Bridge : Fender Pure Vintage bass bridge Color : Black Weight : 3,5 kg I can ship anywhere BTW

Withdrawn, I’ve been playing this a bit more lately & decided to keep it for now. Fender Precision 1977/78 according to the serial number. Has some playing wear but it’s a good’n. Ash body, maple neck. Guitar Info Your guitar was made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USA in 1977 - 1978 Production Number: 76111 Trades wise I might be tempted by a musicman. I’m in North Shields, Tyne & Wear. I’d prefer pickup but may meet half way or post if I really have to. I’ve sold 4 basses recently so check my feedback. I decided to get down to two precision’s so that’s why this one is up for sale.

I have decided, after much thought, to finally let my Fender Flea bass go. I bought it four years ago, gigged it a lot for the next couple of years, you can see the wear from where my wrist rested on the upper bit. Also the paint is wearing through to the primer along the top edge but it's very hard to see. I have also changed one grub screw in the bottom E saddle as it had rusted up . I have the original grub screw too. There is the original gig bag and case candy Those that have these, know what a great sound comes from them. The 1964 pickups really sound ace. That jazz bass 'fizz' from the neck pickup, the honk from the bridge. It sits in my office, waiting for me to have a noodle on it at lunchtimes, it's been great to play at work. Nice and light too at 3.9kg or 8 pounds and 8 ounces, measured on my digital works scales. But in all realities I'm just not going to use it anymore unless I turn it into a Sting Jazz (which I'm not) I am just a P bass fan. I can ship (UK only) via DPD courier, you can collect , have a cuppa and a natter all things bass I work in Folkestone, Kent and live in Deal. Any questions, fire away I'm not looking for any trades, I'm just trying to thin the herd

PRICE REDUCED TO £1,800! The bass cull continues with this genuine 'one of a kind' Status originally made & customised for TM Stevens around 26 years ago. For whatever reason he didn't end up with it & it was then owned by Ashdown for about 20 years and used for testing new kit. I bought it direct from them and it's been played at a couple of rehearsals and one gig since then. Apart from one small surface scratch down the bridge, and some small buckle rash on the rear, it's pretty much perfect - certainly doesn't look 26 years old! The surface marks should be visible in the pictures below - The volume control 'sometimes' has a little scratch sound right at the end of it's travel towards off position but you have to listen very closely to hear this. It may well go with a continued bout of twisting. Some screws and bridge hardware are showing some age but I felt this just added a bit of character It has no serial number and there has been some debate between various Status experts (all of them far more knowledgeable than I) about whether it's an S2 Classic or an Empathy. Rob Green thinks it's an S2 so that's probably a safe bet. Here's what Ashdown said about it: "This S2-Classic is the ultimate combination of traditional and modern guitar design. Made in the 80's built for TM Stevens and painted by a top German artist. TM Stevens never actually ended up with the bass instead it found its way into our possession around 20 years ago and has been one of our go to test basses. Woven carbon graphite and selected exotic woods are combined to create a bass which sounds even better than it looks. It has a wide, even frequency response with huge dynamics and sustain." Note that the artist signature appears to be Andi Graphic Art 94 - this would suggest it's a bit newer than the Ashdown estimate but that 94 may not be the date it was made and/or have nothing to do with that at all. Could just be the 94th piece of custom artwork etc. It has the classic Status electronics with the sweepable mid boost/cut switch and sounds just like a Status should - great cut through that sits in a live mix really nicely. Happy to post anywhere in the UK / EU at cost - probably £25 UK & £40 EU (both with insurance).

Selling my 2006 Dennis Galuska Masterbuilt P-bass, based on a '68 'Telecaster' bass. I'm told that this was originally made for the bassist for Athlete, back in the day. I bought this on a bit of a whim but have realised its far, far too nice for me - I can't do it justice and feel like a bit of a fool playing on something so nice!! First thing to note is the weight - mostly due to the super premium ash, the whole bass weighs 7lbs 8oz, which is insane when you consider that it's a slab body! It strikes meevery time I pick it up; it's lovely and balanced and you can wear it for hours without getting tired (unlike most slab-bodied precisions). It's also incredibly resonant. This is the magic of Masterbuilt guitars - the base materials were hand-picked and matched by one of Fender's best and it shows. Neck is a great shape too. A very soft "V" at the lower frets, going into a "C" by 12 and onwards. It feels very natural, and has clearly been expertly hand-carved for comfort. Frets are in great condition and a very low action is achievable (although I wouldn't recommend it!). Custom "block" inlays were also specified as part of the original order, with Ron Thorn (the current head of Fender's custom shop) specifically requested to do them. The work is top-notch - no filler whatsoever and perfect in every way. Nice and subtle too - I'm not usually a fan of block inlays but these look awesome. Finish is a lovely white relic - the spec has this as "super heavy" and "extreme" and it shows on the body! Lots of checking, dings and wear - it feels and looks very played in. On the sound - it's bloody amazing. It's honestly the best sounding p-bass I've ever heard. Think of ANY recording with a full-on p-bass tone and this does it to a tee. Can go full-on snarly precsion growl, or laid-back Pino groove. And super resonance, sustain and clarity all over the neck. The tone on this has a centre detent and acts a bit like a tbx tone control giving enormous versatility. All original save for (i) the machineheads, which have been replaced with Fender-sourced new ones (the g-string head was at some point replaced with a smaller version, so there are four tiny holes under the metal); and (ii) the case, which is a replacement Fender case. All in all the best P-bass you'll ever play, hands-down. This is light-years ahead of regular Custom Shop pieces and it shows, from the feel to the sound. I need a quick sale on this because of another incoming, so I am pricing at £3200. Equivalent basses are up on Reverb etc. for £4-6k. Needs to be sold quickly, however, or I will take it down. I'm in NW London or can ship, fully insured, for £50. I will also take px if need be - just let me know what you've got!

Hi everyone, This is a pretty reluctant feeler. If someone wants to bite my hand off for it, ill let it go but otherwise ill keep it. This started life as a Fender Pawnshop Mustang Bass, with the big old mudbucker rather than a standard Mustang Pickup. I found it muddy and indistinct, so replaced the pickup and pickguard. The pickguard started life a mirrored gold pickguard from WD Music and I scuffed it up to make it less reflective. The current pickup is a Aero Mustang, but formerly it was a Nordstrand NM4 (which i still have and can include in the sale for £50), the Aero is a little smoother sounding than the Nordy, but they're similar. This feels exactly like my MIJ Mustang did, I had them both at the same time and preferred this one so sold the MIJ. Its a fantastic sounding and playing bass but two Bass VIs and a Gibson as well as a 32" Squire jag, I've got about all the short scales i need at the moment. SOLD

I own exactly the same amp, my guilty little pleasure! I used to have pictures of these on my bedroom wall when I was a dorky teenager. These days my wife forbids such filth - Prude.

Under the bed with the CS Dusty Gold Top. Don't you bloody start 😆
