holy smokes this is dirt dirt dirty cheap! I paid way more than that to have it built and shipped over from St Louis! David does only use really nice bits for his builds, a bit like Nash do...and it sounds frickin awesome! I was only thinking about this bass the other day and wondering where it'd got to...someone's gonna get a total steal of a stunning bass here!! really that cheap!!!!! that's less than a cr*ppy MIM fender!!!!!!!!

Yep that looks lush alright ...good job I don't really like j basses... ...It looks so good though...

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1444588500' post='2884332'] This bass used to be mine and I'd fully support that. Whilst maple-board fretless Precisions appear to be, for reasons I don't fully understand, quite an acquired taste, they are two things. Firstly outstanding instruments. Maple necks to my ear compensate for all of the limitations of rosewood and a single P-PUP, the player is far better able to tease nuances out of the bass in a manner more in keeping with an ebony board. Second, they are getting VERY rare in original configuration, and even rarer in this condition. In short, this is in investment condition (this is why I sold it, nothing remains in investment condition for very long in my house). I am very tempted to offer a trade with something that Andy might find more to his liking, but suspect that I would never want to gig it in case I dropped it etc, and the finish is so beautiful that would be a real shame. I also have about 4 more fretless basses than I need at present. But I do keep coming back to this page [/quote] Thanks matey, most kind, she is awful purdy and in need of a new home

I've been advised that this bass is advertised far too cheaply and it should be much nearer £1,800! Therefore I am going to do nothing cos this is bass chat and top dollar is to be found outside the family so the bargain price remains

[quote name='Hexman' timestamp='1444485972' post='2883614'] Cheers, but I struggle with frets nevermind without !! [/quote] no worries

[quote name='adamlunt' timestamp='1444475245' post='2883510'] If it had frets I would [/quote] Oh but frets are so confining

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1444383703' post='2882708'] If you do sell my '78 Fretless P/J is in the classified section, I'd love to offer a trade but I have far too many fretless basses! Good luck Chris [/quote] haha thanks matey This lovely lady [url]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/270731-fs-78-fender-precision-fretless-pj-withdrawn/[/url] oo nice

[quote name='Beedster' timestamp='1444320621' post='2882248'] That looks familiar If it's the one I think it is, it is absolutely lovely to play and hear, and a pure stunner to look at. A classic vintage Fender. Good luck with the sale. [/quote] Thanks matey, she's a beaut for sure! I'd probably trade for a fretless PJ even with cash my way, just need more tonal options. PICS UP

Oo fancy a '78 fretless p bass with cash my way?

[s]For sale is my '78 fretless p-bass with factory fretless maple fingerboard and super 70's sunburst finish. The bass is all original and has all its ashtrays, thumb rest etc, there's even an old fender strap that looks about the right age and the original sales receipt from Soho Soundhouse in '80. I have changed the pickup screws and scratchplate screws for new ones but the original ones are included. I also have a period correct G&G Fender hardcase which didn't come with the bass but is exactly the right style to have done so (see pics)... It was sold to me as a '78 and the serial number indicates as much... (although it can mean anything from '77ish to '79ish in Fender world - original receipt dated 1980). Weighs 9 & 3/4 lb and with a nice strap is very comfy and nicely balanced. The fit and finish are darn good and the neck pocket is nice and snug (see pics). While I've had it I've used it live twice and recorded with it once and it sounded lush with a lovely warmth to the mwah on the upper register notes, super sweet and classy Selling because more recording opportunities are coming up and something a tad more versatile would be beneficial so am after an aternative fretless (ideally an ACG Uber fretless 4 or Wal MK1 fretless 4 or maybe Guild B-302 fretless) for a wider tonal pallette. Bass is in Sheffield, happy to ship (price includes UK shipping).
