  1. It's 44mm at the nut. I'm never quite sure about the various neck profiles, but it feels quite shallow to me, compared to my JV Precision and 70s Tele Bass.
  2. Up for sale is my Sonic Blue Fender Precision. I had this up for sale a couple of years ago but withdrew it and made some changes. It's put together using mostly Fender and Gotoh parts. The body is from a 2011 Fender Japan Classic Series 70s Precision that I had stripped and refinished in Sonic Blue nitro with a light relic. It's an alder body according to what I can find online. The refinish work was done by David Wilson. The colour is more pastel in person. The neck is an American Fender 60s neck that I bought on here. It's got a Fender Genuine Replacement stamp on the back of the headstock but I'm unsure which specific neck it is; possibly an AVRI. The pickup is a Classic '58 from The Creamery. The bridge is a Hosco threaded saddle bridge that I've lightly aged to match the aged Gotoh neck plate, strap buttons, and string tree. The machine heads are reverse gear Gotoh Resolites. The thumb rest, and knobs are Fender, the wiring is from KiOgon on here, and the pick guard is a mint green MIJ fit from earlpilanz in eBay. It's obviously got a few intended marks on the body due to the relic finish. The fingerboard has a small dent at the 18th fret but is otherwise in good condition. It's a great player and quite lightweight at 3.9kg. It's a great player as well and the neck is nice and straight. I'll include a Fender gig bag and postage is an option.
  3. These are rippers. I had a lovely Daphne Blue one that I wish I'd kept hold of
  4. Many moons ago, someone on here described it as 'mushroom soup-burst', and it's still the first thing that comes to mind whenever I see Antigua mentioned
  5. Correctamundo
  6. One of these keeps coming up for sale near me; I think the seller takes it down if it hasn't sold within a couple of weeks and then puts it back up again a few weeks later. I've been tempted a few times, they look cool.
  7. I'd guess at it being the lead or input socket shorting against the cavity wall. Try sticking a bit of electrical tape on the sides of the cavity around the input and see if that sorts it.
  8. I tried one today; unfortunately not the charcoal as it had been sold, but they had fiesta red in stock. Nice build quality, great sound, but the matte finish on the neck is not for me.
  9. I was going to have a shot of that one at lunchtime today but wasn't able to make it over. If it's still there on Tuesday when I'm next in the office I'll have a swatch.
  10. I like gloss necks. I hate it when necks have a satin or sanded-back finish. The more poly, the better.
  11. Don't worry, I'm sure the MiUSA prices will go up accordingly
  12. Spotted this on Instagram this morning. The Charcoal Frost looks great, but I'd want to check out the neck on it. I know everyone was a big fan of the original road worn models from 10 or years ago but I had the 50s precision neck on a build and I really didn't get on with the finish on the back.
  13. With the arrival of a new head and cab I need to move this on to make space, so price dropped to £200. I can still ship it which will be about £40-50 fully insured.
  14. Put this bitsa up for sale a while back but (thankfully) no takers. It's the first one I reach for now:
