    Fender Precision 1983.

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted

    thank you for your comments chaps!
    it is a custom colour (Gold) I ordered from a pro luthier - the bass came to me with stripped original colour and has been coloured very poor in black.
    here's more pics of the "colour history"...:)
    bass came like that:



    neck heel with date:


    I gave it to the luthier, removed the neck pick up and left it with the standard P bass pick up configuration, also ordered a nice black paint - Roger Waters style:





    after few years I got idea of a Goldie,so here it is:



    thanx again!

    here's mine 1983. USA Made (Fullerton) Precision bass.
    it's light weight,around 4 kg (not sure if its swamp ash or alder) and obviously one piece maple neck. Di Marzio pick up, it's the old Di Marzio and from my experience,the best ones - very loud,very fat pick ups. I also upgraded the bass with bridge and pick up covers, aswell the Schaller vintage tuning keys ( but gladly will send the original ones :) ) DR LO Rider nickel strings and Fender de luxe gig bag.

    Asking 1100 euros which includes shipping on my cost via DHL (24-48 hours on your doorway,no questions asked) once money is on my bank account.









    Diary of a P-bass conversion...

    if you re interested...here's my 83' P bass ' conversion...also with DiMarzio (as someone mentioned - the Monster output pick ups!!!)
    hope you'll like it...

    it came with stripped original colour, and painted in black but badly..and with additional J pick up on the bridge


    i gave it to the luthier, ordering removal of a J pick up and a new black paint...


    after few years i got idea of a Goldie,and there it is...



    recently I bought a tort pickguard and a set of old rusty P bass pot caps...




    I just LOVE this thing,very light,comfy, with a really HUGE sound comin from DiMarzio. I had all kind of strings on it, from La Bella flats (jamerson set) was quite impressive and adorable,and now it's DR LO Riders Nickel - also a great ones!
    (sorry for hi jackin your thread bro and cheers!!!!)

    P-bass thumbrest (where a Stingray pickup would be)

    [quote name='mcnach' post='1200845' date='Apr 15 2011, 02:35 PM']I think you didn't understand me. It's the position that I don't like.
    I like playing somewhat closer to the bridge. I like my hand position and especially the tension of teh strings at that spot.
    If the P-bass pickup were placed 5-6cm closer to the bridge, I'd use it as a thumbrest (just as I do on a Stingray)... but it wouldn't sound like a P-bass then :)[/quote]

    I understood prefectly,thats why I said that. when I place my thumb on the pup cover ( I dont talk about pick up itself,but the metal chrome vintage pick up cover), my fingers very naturally can play closer to the bridge or pup. (and no, I am not The Incredible Hulk.)

    you're either in bad mood or far out to be rated as a bassist aswell

    Fender jazz bass 1978

    they used nitro till the end of '70s - along with poly too. '70s were rather crazy, they did all kind of things with finishes, they combinated parts from different years, had strange serials,everything. I had a white jazz from '77 neck dated '77 and body and electronics from '76, that bass were also nitro. I know photos looks like bass were painted with boat coating but it really should be original ( I say SHOULD be as I didn't bought the bass back in '78 ),original owner said it never been refinished and from what I see it looks that way.

    cheers for the comments!

    for Mr. Sherlock: it's original colour, it's nitro finished, worn up, so that's what probably give you ideas.

    also, some interesting jazz bass trades arrangements are welcome - Sadowsky or Lakland (USA series) !
