I bought this from the forum and fickle person that I am I've decided to move it on as it helped me rediscover my old JV Precision! This is a 50's style made in Japan Precision dating from the 90s. It has a fantastic feel and sound and weighs in at under 9lbs. It comes strung with Fender flats and has a low action. It has had a Tusq nut fitted by the previous owner and comes with its original case. The bass has the most beautifully flamed maple neck and board that I've seen - initially I thought it was a 'fotoflame' job but this is real. Low action and good balance. A few minor cosmetic dings however the neck is virtually unmarked. There are two touched up areas where the bridge ashtray screw holes were made. The original bridge has a slightly bent adjuster screw, electrics work as they ought to. A lovely example. Price is firm - no trades. This bass is priced at what I paid for it. Buy before I put it on evilbay at a vastly inflated price! Postage ok in the UK if necessary at buyers cost. Thanks for looking.

I've actually added a second Gibson mini humbucker pickup to this now and wired it vol, vol, tone. I put some Hipshot tuners on too that are direct replacements for the nice looking but inefficient old Klusons - keeping all the original bits of course! Sounds and plays fantastic now with a more usable range of tones and its original vintage mudbucker sound too!

Here is my Tokai Hardpuncher its virtually brand new and comes with original shipping box. It's a good weight at around 9lbs and is well balanced with a low easy action and a nice punchy sound. It's strung with the original round wounds and as it's barely been played the strings are like new. I bought this as a back up for my JV Squier Precision - and for a modern Chinese made bass this compares well - however I was seduced by a black and maple Fender so this is surplus to requirements. A really good value Precision from a respected brand - apparently built in the same factory as some of the Squier branded basses. Sold thanks

It did 😉

Cheyenne Mk1

Indeed it did!

Yes great bass that but I swapped it for an unmentionable😳

That's nice

Hi the headstock of the EBO appears to have been refinished - I have owned early 60s models and they had an inlaid Gibson logo and a 'frog' inlay - yours has a decal - like on the late 60s and 70s EBs. The rest looks to be as it ought to - best of luck with the sale these basses have a powerful grunt!

Hi is there a case and what weight is it please? I suspect this was mine at one point as I had a sunburst one and put a thumb rest on it , thanks!

And sold 😊

I'd consider a part trade for a Markbass NY12 cab - nothing else needed at moment

Upiphone

It has a 34" scale and 16mm string spacing at the bridge. Very easy bass to play!

Baritone switch

[quote name='ash' timestamp='1449569806' post='2924655'] Here's my second Epiphone Rivoli - made at the Kalamazoo factory in 1964. The bass had been converted to a lefty then converted back. It's been well kept otherwise and the neck, frets and body are in very good condition. The bridge is a left handed one but has been turned over and a bar added so it can intonate correctly. The scratch plate is missing and a thumb rest added. The original owner painted around the f holes presumably to highlight them the paint has faded and could be carefully removed. No breaks or structural issues. The holes from the conversion have been filled and touched up and look ok. A patch refinish could make this look perfect or you could keep it as is. It plays great and the original mud-bucker has a suitably mellow sound perfect for rock and roll, soul and 60s sounds. Electrics work ok but the replacement baritone switch doesn't seem to do much. Neck is lovely and the action is very low. There is no case but a very ill fitting gig bag will be supplied. I can post within the UK only at buyers cost. No trades sorry. [/quote] Withdrawn
