    Here is a nice old Fender Precision bitsa , It has a lovely straight neck with good frets and a working trussrod. The neck is stamped and has the appropriate ID marks at the heel. Tuners are Fender stamped and work smoothly. The bass is well set up with a low action. It has all original hardware with the exception of one control knob and a reissue tortoiseshell scratchplate. One of the pots has been changed at some point. The pickup sounds great and is mounted to a brass earth plate, the pickup covers are scuffed but this doesn't affect their sound. The bass has a '78 serial number on the headstock and a later '81 US Fender body, it balances well and is easy on the shoulder. The original owner told me the original body had been swapped because like many CBS Fenders it was extremely heavy. It has had a custom paint job - In true rock and roll style it has the name of a recreational substance favoured by many a musician written in the style of a famous US soft drink company! This was done professionally many years before I bought it and the reason why I added a new scratchplate to hide it! I would prefer pickup but will post at buyers expense. Sorry I will not post this outside the UK I'm looking for £480 Pics to follow this evening.

    Hi again, I've changed my mind about these and I'd like to buy them does the price include postage? Please PM your details and I'll pay through PayPal if that's ok? Cheers

    I bought these off eBay however they are no use for my 1/2 size bass. They are used but in excellent condition and not used by myself obviously. They are a light gauge suitable for 3/4 basses. They are in their original individual packets. I'm looking to get back most of my cost so would like £50 for them including postage in the UK.

    http://m.youtube.com/results?q=how%20to%20drive%20a%20double%20bass Try the above - its geared towards classical styles but gives good tips on holding the bass and posture, etc. it's also very engaging and nice to see a presenter who doesn't take himself too seriously! Enjoy.

    [quote name='davewarwickbass' timestamp='1348263968' post='1811757'] Thanks for the advice guys, I picked up the bass Russ was selling today and had a dabble for a couple of hours before having to go to work, I am absolutely hooked now! Any body got any links to must read books and lessons on youtube etc etc? [/quote] Glad you got Russ' bass it used to be mine! It's got a lot of history and was a regular on the scene here in Lancaster, good luck with it but be warned you will get hooked!

    I asked him to post pics of the nut and patch which he has done, the nut looks right to me but has obviously been cut left handed at some stage. I asked about the tuners and he said they were on when he got it and he was going to replace but never got round to doing so. Still not 100% on this but he was quick to answer my questions.

    With an obvious decal - looks like an Encore or Hohner body, I like the way the listing skirts around the truth without being blatantly dishonest. 28 bidders? One disappointed winner.

    What is the scale length on these please?
