    SOLD : Marshall Silver Jubilee 4U Rack Sleeve

    in Accessories & Other Musically Related Items For Sale

    Posted · Edited by backwater

    Having sold my bass rig, this is surplus to requirements. 1987 Marshall Silver Jubilee 4U Rack sleeve. These originally came with the silver fronted rack-mount amps.

    In good condition although there are the odd ding and dent after 25 years. Solid and well built as you would expect from Marshall.

    Looking for £35 plus postage or nearest offer. Collection from Edinburgh would be possible as well.

    Any chance of a pic showing the neck pocket? is it a good fit? I only ask as I know it can be really hit and miss on late 70's Fenders!

    Thanks

    Hopefully, the attached photos will show the neck pocket fit. Feeler gauges give .012" on the treble side and around .020 on the bass side.

    Fit is ok, certainly not the worst I've seen on a 70s Fender but a long way from perfect.

    Cheers

    Have you had this re-logo'd when it was re-finished ?
    Do you still have the orgional hardware and the 78 tuners ?
    :unsure:

    Only the body has been refinished, the neck finish is original including the logo. Tuners fitted are the 1978 ones. The only non-original hardware, as far as I'm aware, it the bridge and pickup covers which are Fender made reissues as the bass didn't come with the covers.

    The logo is squint and I asked about this on the forum when I bought the bass, does seem to be fairly normal for 1970s Fenders : [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/19198-squint-fender-logo-on-70s-precision/"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/19198-squint-fender-logo-on-70s-precision/[/url]

    I keep coming back to this. What is the nut width please? Also, how low is the action?
    Sadly it's about 220 miles each way for me and if I was going to buy something vintage I really would like to try it first.
    TBH I'm really surprised it's still here, it does look fabulous.
    Cheers,
    Karl.

    Hi Karl,
    The nut width is 42mm, the action is about 2mm on the bass side at the 12th fret so fairly low. It's currently strung with Rotosound RB45s.

    Cheers

    what a lovely p! one year earlier and I'd have been upsetting the credit card as that'd be a y.o.b.!

    If it had been a 77 I would have been keeping it as a YOB bass :rolleyes:

    I've just remembered that the bass is fitted with Dunlop straplocks but the original strap buttons are now in the case along with a Fender strap.

    Having not gigged for a few years I can't justify hanging onto this one.

    1978 Fender Precision.

    Body has had a high quality refinish in natural (factory finish was sunburst and traces of this remain in the pickup cavities)

    S87xxxx Serial on headstock

    Pickups are dated 10/08/78 and 17/10/78

    Pots are dated 1377808 which decodes to Week 8, 1978

    Neck stamp is very faded but appears to read 01032485 which is Week 24, day 5, 1978

    Reissue Bridge and pickup covers fitted

    Weight is 4kg - 8 3/4lbs

    Comes with a Gator hard case which has been broken in one corner as pictured.

    Collection from Edinburgh preferred but shipping could be arranged.

    Feel free to ask questions.

    Thanks
