[quote name='magee' post='680708' date='Dec 10 2009, 09:45 PM']I'm selling my black Precision. It's an S9 serial number bass, which means it's from 1979 to 1981.
This is a cracker of a bass, it's got the trademark Precision thump and feels just lovely in your hands, really solid and even and beautifully put together.
It's black with a black scratchplate and a maple fingerboard. It's in smashing condition, no major dents or scrapes or anything. The neck is beautiful, straight and with no issues at all. The action goes lovely and low and the neck has that broad, flat, comforting feeling the good Precisions have.
This is not the world's lightest bass. Like many Precisions of the era it's on the heavy side. I don't find it a problem, I rehearse with it for three hours at a time no problem and gig with it without an issue. But if you need a lightweigh bass, this isn't for you.
The upside of that, though, is that it's got a great big thumping tone, it feels solid and plays beautifully and sounds superb.
It's a wrench to sell this, but I've sprung for another one and this one has to shuffle out the door to make fiscal room for it.
So there we are. It's in Glasgow, £950 plus shipping.

Looks in great nick for that era. The finish on the 79 I had was falling off down to the wood!! Change in laquer or something I was told. Scratchplate looks good aswell....has this been in an attic??
Nice bass...wish I could afford it!
