[quote name='Sibob' post='48091' date='Aug 21 2007, 12:09 AM']Oh a p-bass from my birth year......don't tempt me Si[/quote] Go on! You know you play her you'll wanna grow old with her... hehe. Thanks for the PMs guys. All responded. Also, thanks Jim and wateroftyne for the input.

This is a Fender Precision bass guitar with a black finish, black pickguard and a maple neck. An interesting bass. Has an S9 serial number but has an 1983 date stamped on the neck heel. Still retains that classic 70's look though, and looks absolutely stunning! It is not as heavy as other specimens I've played. I believe the pickups are vintage replacements because of the cloth wiring, but they sound awesome! I believe everything else is original. The bass is in general fantastic condition considering the age, especially the neck. There's a tiny hint of buckle rash but can only be seen in certain angles of the light. Not especially desperate to sell, and would much prefer a trade/part-exchange. Only thinking to get rid because my Fender Jazz's S-1 switching has the Precision tone pretty much covered, so this is just laying about doing nothing. Would be interested in (not exclusively) Laklands, Warwicks or anything you may have in mind Just try me! May be in interested in neo cabs too.

Mate... what year is this out of curiosity. The features make the year quite early.

Not surprised this sold so quick at all! If I had a bass or two fewer, I would have jumped all over this.

I need to sell these off because my friend decided to go to the Ediburgh Fringe Festival this week. He bought another pair for another date, so I need to let these go. Since I've noticed there's a few Prince fans down these parts, I'll let anyone have dibs on the pair. I'm looking for exactly what I paid for the pair £72.91 I'm prepared to deliver to any tube station in London within Zones 1 and 2. Otherwise, collection can be made in Battersea or Clapham Junction. Please text me, phone me or leave me a voicemail message on 07743 499 496.

Plan is to eBay it in September when the holidays are over.[/quote] Dropped a helpful hint to a bassist on another forum. I thought this would be gone by now. But I would recommend you sit tight and don't eBay it. eBay is generally awful for selling instruments.

[quote name='charic' post='45340' date='Aug 14 2007, 05:33 PM']Oh rite, how does the sound vary with ash as apposed to bubinga?[/quote] From the Warwick User's Manual: Acoustically, bubinga is a very resonant wood that offers very clear lows and well-defined upper mids and highs. Acoustically, Ash has wonderful mid-frequency response and a very warm low end. In my experience, I prefer Corvettes in ash, mainly because the Corvette body is quite large and bubinga is a really heavy wood.

[quote name='jimbartlett' post='43294' date='Aug 9 2007, 02:26 PM']I thought this would fly off my hands, it's such a lovely instrument.[/quote] I know... I would love this. But I've exhausted my entire GAS fund. But have a bump on me, for such a beautiful bass.

Actually mate... I wouldn't mind a print of that Ric picture. I thought it was fantastic. I'll PM you with more questions.

I'm glad to see that your keen eyes spotted that unfortunate association mate!
