  1. This is a great 2016 MIM precision. I was looking for a precision in a hurry and was lucky enough to snag this bass from Theyellowcab on here. It sounds great as either a passive of active bass and I used it as my main bass in the summer-don't believe me? Come and try it or listen to the video's in theyellowcab's post. Condition is great and it comes with a Fender hard case. Condition is great, nice colour and nice neck grain too. It is currently wearing flats but I'll put some rounds back on for the sale. Weight is around the 4.1/4.2 Kg mark on my scales so just over 9lb. "For players who find themselves alternating between a variety of musical styles at a moment’s notice, the Deluxe Precision Bass® Special is the perfect companion on stage and in the studio. Designed for powerful, flexible tone with smooth playing feel, this robust and rich-sounding bass combines the best features of Fender’s classic basses to create a "hybrid" model with sleek, authentic Fender style but is packed with new tones. There’s a wealth of useful tones hiding inside this bass’ pickups and electronics. Powered by a punchy vintage-style split-coil Precision Bass pickup in the middle position and a growling Vintage Noiseless Jazz Bass bridge pickup, this bass rises to any occasion. The robust control scheme includes a three-band active EQ with treble, mid and bass controls—each with boost and cut to accurately shape your tone—along with a pan pot for precision blending of the pickups’ potent sound. The active/passive switch makes it easy to access both vintage-styled and modern voices, further extending this instrument’s sonic flexibility. The Fender HiMass™ bridge improves every note’s sustain and resonance while enhancing the attack for lively tone that lets your sonic personality shine through. The "C"-shaped maple neck is comfortable for all playing styles and hosts a 1.5" synthetic bone nut and fast-playing 12"-radius fingerboard with 20 medium jumbo frets. The alder body bears a durable gloss polyester finish that looks great under the spotlight while being tough enough to shrug off the abuse of gigging and travelling. Classic Precision Bass appointments include knurled flat-top control knobs, nickel/chrome hardware, black pickup covers, pearloid dot inlays and a 3-ply B/W/B pickguard. A pure tone machine with classic Fender sound and style, the Deluxe Active Precision Bass Special is a true performer, equally at home on stage and in the studio."

  2. I bought this earlier this year and although pleased with it, I haven't really used it other than to noodle. The sharp looks and cool looks meant that I just had to give it go. It is a lovely bass with a great action and is nice and light. Everything that low end Lobster says in the video below is spot on. Someone will love this, it deserved to be played! Case isn't included. Can post. Weight is 4kg/ 8Ib-13oz. The Reverend Triad is all about versatility. The three brand-new Jazz Bomb pickups are hum-free with increased output. The steel rails create a rich, focused tone that cuts through the mix. Combine them with the 5-way switch, and experiment with all kinds of sounds for any tone alchemist. Funky block inlays and the chrome control plate make this bass a stylish addition to your collection. Custom Pickups We design our own proprietary custom pickups, to achieve the best tonal match with our instruments. Reverend pickups are also specifically designed for each position, for balanced volume and tone when switching. Five-Piece Roasted Maple Neck Roasted Maple is heat treated at over 300° F to remove sugars, moisture, and impurities. This maple is lighter, more stable, and has a beautiful caramel colour. Combined with our five-piece construction, the result is a neck that requires less seasonal adjustment, and boasts a rich vintage look! Korina Body Korina (aka White Limba) is a medium-lightweight wood, highly prized for consistency and tonal qualities. Often found in boutique and vintage instruments, all Reverends feature Korina bodies. A highly resonant wood, Korina is a key factor to producing our lively, responsive instruments that are rich in harmonics. Hipshot Ultralight Tuners These tuners have a housing made of aircraft grade aluminium that makes them extra-light. The difference in weight can be as much as 2-3oz less in the headstock, which means a more balanced bass that’s more comfortable to play. And the tone is great! Your bass is more defined and enhanced with the Hipshot Ultralites. High Mass Bridge Our bridge features heavy duty saddles in combination with a massive base plate. This substantial mass of metal enhances clarity and attack, and produces bell-like sustain. It's also a versatile bridge, that can be strung string-thru-body or top-load. Initialled Headstock Every Reverend is hand initialed and serial numbered on the back of the headstock by one of our highly skilled technicians who sets up, inspects, and tests every instrument. Custom Dome Knobs Our proprietary knobs feature a lower profile which is less likely to be accidentally hit by the player's hand, and the white dot lets you easily see where your knob rotation is set. Boneite Nut We use "Boneite," a synthetic bone nut, that is more consistent than natural bone, on all Reverend instruments. It reduces friction, allowing the strings to slide through the nut slots smoothly, improving tuning stability. 3-String Tree All Bolt-On series basses use a wide string tree that holds down three strings, instead of just two. This eliminates string buzz in the nut slot, which is a common problem with standard string trees. Dual-Action Truss Rod Our dual action rod adjusts in both directions, allowing back bow or forward bow. This assures correct adjustment range is possible regardless of string tension, extreme climate conditions, or the effects of long-term aging. It’s also located at the headstock for easy access. Six-Bolt Neck Plate Two extra bolts increase mounting pressure of the neck by fifty percent. This makes a stronger neck connection, which improves sustain, tuning stability, and neck alignment. Custom Jack Plate Our proprietary jack plate features four mounting screws, instead of two. The extra screws prevent the plate from tearing out of the body. Made of steel for durability, the laser etched logo adds an extra touch of class! Pure Tone Jack All Reverends use an upgraded jack by Pure Tone Technologies. The Pure Tone jack has dual contacts for improved grip, audio signal and reliability. The most dependable guitar jack available! 10% Pots We use Alpha control pots with a +-10% rating, tighter and more consistent than a standard pot. Typically used in expensive boutique guitars, but standard issue in all Reverends. 10% Poly Caps We use caps with a +-10% rating. Our caps are made to tighter specifications, so they’re more consistent. Made of polyester, they’re also longer lasting, and less affected by temperature than cheaper ceramic caps. Typically used in expensive boutique guitars. Specifications Body: Korina Solidbody Pickups: Jazz Bomb Bridge/Neck/Neck Bridge: String-thru-body or Top-load, 3/4" spacing. Neck: 5-Piece Maple/Walnut, Satin Amber Finish Scale: 34" Neck Profile: Medium Oval Fingerboard: Roasted Maple or Pau Ferro, 12" Radius Frets: 21 Frets Truss Rod: Dual Action, Headstock Access Tuners: Hipshot Ultralight, 1/2" Dia.

  5. Sweet sounding basses these. Great sound
  6. Good news is that this has got me back into playing a bit of acoustic guitar and I'm looking forward to playing live this Saturday. 👌
  7. Does nasal or a hairy back count? Where do I apply?
  8. I played both a Stingray and an ATK for a while and they seemed pretty similar in a live situation.
  9. I tried a bass though one of those in PMT a while back and thought it sounded great...congratulations hmm, there has been a history of them being large and following rather than leading. I do like the sound of their Original Pedal and amp so am giving that a try
  10. PM'd Re: DP
  11. so no doomsters out there?
  12. I've seen something that I fancy so temporary price drop to £900 until one of my basses sells.
  13. I've seen something that I fancy so temporary price drop to £750 until one of my basses sells.
  14. Any updates on these? I have one as a possible for my pedal board?
  15. Yes and come to think of it there was no Youtube, mobiles or Internet streaming services... Now I really feel old LOL
  16. Lots of views, I should have released this earlier lol
  17. Weight estimated at 4.1kg so just over 9lb 🙃
  18. Sorry can't tell you at the moment but it isn't heavy, one of my lighter basses. If I can get the right batteries I'll weigh it next weekend. Note: I do have some interest in it from elsewhere
  19. I watched a bit last night. I live pretty close but I have to say big festivals aren't the way I like to enjoy music. I don't want to watch stick people in the distance or wander around looking for stuff. Would love to play it obviously. I missed some of the highlights above so will try and seek em out. My verdict so far as a TV viewer is that it was more interesting watching Eurovision with the wife. The effects and presentation on that were brilliant in comparison.
  20. Adding Preamp Di pedals into the trade options. I'm picky though.
  21. Adding Preamp Di pedals into the trade options.
  22. Only selling this because as you know Nick I have a very similar one...
  23. Yep this won't set the bass playing community alight but this is my oldest original song that I can still remember. Written by me as a teenager in the late 1970's and sung by the old guy in the picture. A good buddy eventually made it into a video. That's just nuts! See link:
  24. Note: I've seen something that I fancy so temporary price drop to £900 until one of my basses sells.
