I bought this very recently from Brian on the forum it’s a superb bass however I definitely need to buy sub 4kgs basses these days and I do prefer maple boards. Lovely US made 1998 Fender Precision Standard with Fender shaped case and all accessories and tags. A superb bass in a rare metallic purple finish. Rosewood neck, very playable without any dings other than one at the headstock - see picture. It plays superbly and the neck is straight and true with a fully working trussrod. It weighs 4.2kgs. Only selling because my injured shoulder says no. I’m not interested in trades sorry. Personal pickup preferred but I can post at buyers cost in the UK only

It’s just over 41mm. Very nice manageable neck.

That’s about right Alain I’ve only got four left now 🤣

Another Fender Precision Bass for sale this time a nice maple neck E Series from Japan. Classic looking bass with maple board and white scratchplate. It’s all original and plays really well. It’s light at under 4kgs and is strung with Daddario light gauge nickel rounds. There are dings and scratches but nothing terrible, some scuffing to the neck and a small chip behind the nut at the E string. Nothing that effects the tuning stability or action. It’s a workhorse bass and has seen plenty of action. All original hardware and pickups, it plays and sounds fantastic. Sorry no trades on this one. It comes with a decent gig bag. I’d rather have it picked up but can post in the U.K. at buyer’s cost. Please withdraw as I have decided to keep it.

These instruments were made in Japan alongside the legendary JV range and to the same high standard. They didn’t have the vintage features of the JV models but are well respected instruments nonetheless. Don’t confuse the SQ models with the ‘beginners market’ Squiers of later years, these are up there with the best US made instruments and are becoming sought after now JV models have started to attract big money. The necks are particularly wonderful. This one is in excellent condition, only a few minor marks and scuffs. The neck is immaculate, the hardware and pickups are like new. It sounds like a Precision ought to! All original and weighs 4kgs. New Rotos 40-100s great balance. An excellent vintage bass at an affordable price. A recent purchase but I need to raise some cash fairly urgently, last in first out. It comes with a heavy, rather tatty but functional aluminium flight case. No trades, sorry. I’d prefer pickup in person as I only have the case to post it in, however if you want it posting in the U.K. I can look into it at your cost. If you want Fender flats on it rather than Rotos I can restring it. Thanks!

I’m well known for my bomb proof packaging if that’s any help?

They vary in weight like any Fender bass if you read the reviews and comments on talkbass etc. There are reports of them being as much as 11lbs and as little as 8. I’d say It’s about average for a Fender bass and I have a shoulder injury and don’t find it too heavy. The bridge probably accounts for the difference between this and my MIJ Precision however If you want a light weight Precision I’d look elsewhere.

Fender MIM Nate Mendel These basses get excellent reviews and this is a lovely example. It is beautifully made and has the advantages of being equipped with a high mass bridge and a Seymour Duncan Quarterpounder. It’s also part of the ‘Roadworn’ series so you don’t have to worry too much about dings! The neck is exceptional on this and has a played in feel. It comes with original gig bag and goodies plus a swappable FF neckplate. It weighs 4.4kgs on the kitchen scales and is perfectly balanced. Currently strung with heavy gauge Fender strings it’s perfect for rock. I bought it on a whim because it looks and plays so well however I prefer the feel of maple boards these days so it has got to go. No trades. UK only. Pickup preferred but I can possibly post at buyer’s cost if I can find a box.

That was mine it’s a stunning bass I only got rid of it because I bought a vintage 4003s

Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder Precision pickup for sale. I bought it to try out on my MIJ Precision but decided to keep it original. Excellent condition - the ground wire has cloth covering and is quite short so I will include a longer length of wire. Price includes postage in the UK only. Cheers

Is the Washburn logo scuffed or is it reflection? I had a Wing series bass is it a bolt on neck? Cheers

That’s a beauty. What’s it’s weight please?

I always do a double take when I see these and think ‘Shergold’! It looks a beautiful bass GLWTS.

This old Jazz bass is a ‘Crafted in Japan’ Model and the Fender serial decoder dates it to 1993 however some sites date it as a 1997 model. What you have here however is an exceptionally playable Jazz bass with a lovely slim neck. It’s light too at around 9lbs and balances perfectly. One of the criticisms of MIJ basses is that the pickups are weak, this bass benefits from a pair of US Fender pickups and in comparison to my 83’ JV Jazz they do have more gain. As with all good basses this has been played and gigged a lot so has a lot of genuine road wear. There are dings and scuffs aplenty, touched up paint at the bottom of the instrument. There is also corrosion on the bridge, screws and top strap button (replaced straplock buttons) as well as tarnishing to the nickel plate tuners. Everything is solid and works as it ought to however. It really is a lovely bass - the neck has some dings to the headstock and a small chip behind the nut but no marks at the back or dings. It is a comfortable neck to play alas too slim at the nut for me hence the sale. It was filthy when I bought it a proper gig machine! No trades and UK only please. There is an old case included.
