    Class D: If you see a Tecamp Puma in the Basschat classifieds, then they are well worth a try. I gigged mine with a P and just a twiddle of the 'Taste' control got me from Motown thump to rock grit very nicely.

    [b]For sale: 1979 Fender Precision bass , £900[/b] [b]No trades thanks [/b] [b]About the bass:[/b] Fender Precision Bass, 1979, in Olympic White nitro refinish, purchased from fellow Basschatter Roland Rock (original sales thread here: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/273071-%26-127928%3Bsold-1979-precision-bass%26-127928%3B/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] ) Weight is a meaty 11.28 lbs, but it balances very well - I've played two hour gigs with no fatigue (well, not on the shoulders, at least!) 41mm at nut Since I bought it: The bass has been gigged approx. 5 times, with some minor scuffs added (see 'cosmetic condition' below). I swapped out the original pickups and wiring loom for Fender Original Precision Bass pups, CTS pots and Switchcraft jack. The original pickups, pots, loom, knobs and thumbrest are also included in case you want to swap them back. [b]Playing condition:[/b] Full working order, new pots make the pups very responsive to tone changes. The maple neck is beautifully played in, fastest Precision neck I've used. Heard to good* effect here: [media]http://youtu.be/SEwq58WvoWw[/media] (*'good' here means the tone, not necessarily my playing ) [b]Cosmetic condition[/b] Some horn scuffs, a scuff halfway down the pickguard side edge and a small scuff on the back. Edges of fingerboard have 'ring rash' which has worn off the edge varnish. See the hi-res Flickr album which also includes shots of the original loom and pickups: [url="https://www.flickr.com/photos/133089969@N07/albums/72157676876673595"]https://www.flickr.c...157676876673595[/url] [b]Selling because[/b] Need to pay for car repair - and Christmas! [b]Comes with[/b] Non-original hardcase (Thomann) [b]Location, trial, payment, collection and postage[/b] Trial welcome, I'm 15 mins from J5 M25 in Tonbridge, Kent. I have a Greenboy Dually 2x15 plus Fender Bassman and Orange Bass Terror heads, or bring your own. Payment by cash on collection or bank transfer. Postage to UK via insured courier, I have an outer cardboard box for the hardcase and will bubble wrap the bass well within. Postage estimate £20 but can confirm at point of quote.

    [quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1479145438' post='3174317'] Nice pair! What month is the 4001? Notice it's sporting the 1-inch spaced neck pup - from memory, this occurred mid-75. [/quote] Cheers! April '75. I have no idea if that's the correct spacing though, the original (oversized?!) pickguard is long gone. Looking at the neck pickup cavity it could have originally been closer to the end of the fingerboard. The P is a '79 from Basschat, fantastic tone

    '75 4001 and a black guard P here - but on an Oly White

    My son has the short scale version which sounds, and plays, fantastic GLWTS

    Not used them on a Squier, but my old MIM P (2005 I think) was fine with the heavy gauge La Bella '54 set.

    Bump for a great video, really enjoyed that! GLWTS, seems a terrific bass

    And back up, it's not being used to its full potential in my current setup...

    We've played to a full set [b]to nobody[/b] at an in-pub beer festival. To be fair, two people wandered in at one point and realised they were at the wrong pub, and we did get a dad and his two kids dancing for our self-initiated encore. But otherwise nobody in a decent sized room, and we got free beer and paid, despite actually feeling sorry for the pub and saying the free beer was enough!

    Back to '84 for a 4001 for the Lemmy & Cliff association. Probably the last time I GASsed because of the players rather than the bass (or look of the bass )

    Far too many candidates to list, but if I had to choose one, it would be buying a £40 Boss Compressor c. 1986, to use through a cheapie 10 Watt practice combo. With, shall we say, 'less than noticeable' results.
  18. Kevsy71
    Bought an MXR pedal, very fast service and communication, and just as described! Thanks for the faultless transaction Richard.

    Top service from Karl when I bought his Orange Terror amp - highly recommended and a credit to Basschat! Cheers Karl Kevin

    Hi, please can you confirm nut width and weight? And do the pots crackle, or any other electronic issues? Cheers.

    [quote name='mrbacco' timestamp='1471263000' post='3111610'] OK, don't laugh loud here ... I am using a 15-watt Fender Frontman 15G amp the one I used for my guitar with treble at 0 [/quote] I certainly started out that way 30 years ago - albeit with a 15w bass practice amp that picked up the local cab firm through the single coil pickups of my Arbiter bass! Great advice above - meanwhile while you save for a new amp, move your frontman amp into a corner to help accentuate the bass frequencies, and play fingerstyle near the neck.

    I sold Dan a Classic 50s Precision, very communicative and fast payment, and let me know it had arrived safely. A pleasure to do business with, thanks Dan!
