I have a Fiesta Red Classic 50's P bass, and it's my favourite ever Precision. Absolute killer sound, and lovely to play.
This sunburst model looks awesome too. GLWTS

Thanks Marc, these instruments are silky smooth to play, almost effortless. Like you say absolute killer sound too.

I did see that! I may enquire about it  

Bonfire night has gone mate but might look quite nice mixed in with some yuletide logs....

Having played both types of basses l know which one ld have and it's not the overpriced American version.

Regrettably up for sale again after withdrawing it a few months ago, this fine, much sought after, discontinued instrument.

This is a top quality bass, both in build quality and tone, it sounds phenomenal, just how a P bass should sound. I've had loads of compliments playing this instrument.

I've used flats on this bass too and its the perfect James Jamerson/Duck Dunn sound nailed right there.

Excellent condition apart from a tiny ding at the back of the strap button at the bottom of the bass. Can barely be seen up close.

I have significantly upgraded the bass with the following - Norstrand NP4a pickups/CTS pots/Switchcraft jack/WD Black 3 ply scratch plate/tug bar.

Set up by the man himself...Mr Jon Shuker and is very easy to play all the way up the fretboard.

Ernie Ball Super Slinky 45/60/80/100 strings fitted.

Sorry I don't have the original parts as I really didn't intend selling this bass.

Comes with the original fender gig bag in excellent condition.

Not interested in trades, sale only.

Absolutely any trial welcome. Tea/Coffee/biscuits and corny jokes are free!

I really don't want to courier this bass due to no packaging/bad experience, so pick up preferred but would drive to meet up with petrol cost.

Thanks for looking.

No band, I’ve jacked that, sensible offer

 

Get well soon mate, these things are a bloody curse. Hope you find something else to fill your time with that you enjoy doing just as much as playing bass. 👍

A great bargain and really good gear. Someone is going to love this!

Glwts bud👍

I see the price as £1075

 

Si

Apologies mate...it's my age☹️

There's no price, not that l can see anyway...so l'll  presume it's free...so l'll  take it. Many thanks😉

Great little amps these. I use this model in my soul band and it sounds great and never misses a beat. This model has the improved di too. Glwts

Worth every penny. Hope someone realises how good this is and snaps it up soon.

My Zon has this sort of solution, ideal for me...

Perfect!

Would you like a holiday at mine in sunny Retford by any chance?

It has dots but no lines, I will add photos after I have got home.

I always think a fretless bass looks far cooler without lines. My Warwick has dots where the frets should be and its more logical instead of dots in between the frets if that makes sense.....l'll  get my coat!

Totally agree Chris. Saw a lovely black E Type near Munich 2 weeks back. Had to tell the group I was with to stop and just admire the most beautiful car in the world. Even Enzo would have been proud to have made it. 

Many years ago when l lived in a small back to back terrace house in a mining village in South  Yorkshire, my Uncle George who was a scrap dealer from Bradford turned up in a brand new white E type. He took me out for a spin in it and when l got out l told him that when l grew up l was going to buy one of these. He looked at me and said son, don't waste your money...put it in gold and property! Canny lad was my Uncle.

It’s original. Same as mine.  

Sorry it was tongue in cheek and meant as a joke!

Why do I keep coming back to look at this bass and think about buying it? I already have a '73 almost identical.......I need help.

Why do l keep coming back to look at the long G bridge screw?

haha...it just takes practise! 😀

Yeah probably years..and l dont have that luxury anymore because lm an old fart😁

Wowza, If this was in the UK, ld walk there with the cash!

Yes I mean popping with the ring finger. But I meant including the ring finger in your slap playing. I slap/pop with all four fingers (ring, middle, index and thumb). It greatly enhances your slap grooves and options. 

Wow..lm struggling to slap just with my thumb never mind the other 4 fingers!

Is it boomy, or does it have a lack of fundamental? Does it sound OK acoustically..?

The E string is louder and sounds quite boomy no matter how l adjust the eq.

How does that work at the cabinet end of the cable though?

Standard 1+/1-

Isn't 1+/2+ the wiring of neutric plugs for bridged mode?

Bargain! Perfect for uplighting a drum kit. Glwts.

Does it do it with all strings you try, I’d be reluctant to change the pickups on your jazz , is it the lovely mint untouched sunburst one 

Sorry for the very late reply...yes it is the collector grade sunburst one bought from Simon on this forum.

Thanks for your tip but l usually do that anyway to all the strings at the bridge. I've tried a smaller E gauge 95 and seems to help somewhat but it's not ideal. I'm still thinking about changing out the stock pups for some Norstrands though..but it would obviously spoil the provenance of the instrument which is basically a collectors grade Jazz.
