    Bump-up for a really nice 2008 MIA Precision. First post left unedited so the subsequent posts still make sense in relation to it. Steve

    [quote name='apa' timestamp='1333786734' post='1606343'] Well you may have misjudged it (we're a bit too clever by 'alf here sometimes ) but hey how many bumps have you got. Its been amusing oh and heres your coat back A [/quote] Coat return appreciated. My attempt at a light-hearted sales thread has not gone as planned. Sort of. So - to return to the sale - anybody want to buy my 2008 MIA Precision?

    [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1333743700' post='1606099'] That actually makes sense. What happened at the first post? Were you BaCraped? [/quote] Well, my plan was for a "teaser" campaign where I drip-fed information over a period of time to periodically re-kindle interest and bump the thread. Seems I misjudged it. Steve

    Folks, I'm concerned that some people may have misinterpreted my attempt at a self-bumping "For Sale" post. To avoid any further possible confusion, here's what's happening; I really do have a lovely MIA 2008 Precision for sale. Here's the spec: Serial no: Z8091250 2008, black body, maple neck and fingerboard, white/black/white try-ply scratchguard, high-mass bridge and carbon-reinforced neck. Completely unaltered except for the Status halfwound strings. Comes with Fender SBK hard case, with all the bits and bobs: Truss-rod tool, Owner's manual, case key, allen keys, unused Fender strap. It's never been gigged. I've taken it to a few rehearsals and to a few gigs as a back-up to either my G&L or my Ibanez Blazer. Consequently, it's in really nice condition with only the very faintest hint of buckle-rash on the back. Other than that, I'm struggling to find any marks at all. I'm selling it because it's too nice to be sitting at home unused or merely taken out as a backup. The last thing I want is for some drunken punter to trip over it at a boisterous pub gig. Anybody who is interested is most welcome to come round and try it out. I'm at home most of the time. Photos: [attachment=104409:002 (2).JPG] [attachment=104411:003.JPG] [attachment=104412:011.JPG] Send me your email by PM if you want any more information, or a specific camera angle. Hope that clarifies the situation. Peace. Steve

    Bump-up for a really nice 2008 USA Precision in virtually unmarked condition. I'll leave my first post (below) unedited so that the subsequent posts make sense in relation to it. Full details of the bass are at post no. 12. Steve Hi, I'm selling my base guitar 'coz I don't play it no more. Looks like this: [attachment=104300:001 (2).JPG] Any questions? Just ask...

    Chrome Badass 2 bridge for sale. It's just been removed from my newly acquired MIJ Precision. It's the 5 screw model. I've cleaned it and buffed it and it's in very good condition with virtually no tarnishing or pitting at all. Saddles have been lightly filed. Screws included, so it's ready to rock. £55 including postage to your door. [attachment=103557:Badass 1.JPG] Cheers, Steve

    [quote name='tallmanmax' timestamp='1332538732' post='1589908'] May well be interested in the badass for my MIJ 62 Precision. It's got Hipshot HB3 tuners fitted and a decent bridge seems to be a logical step as far as up-grading goes. [/quote] Pm'd you. Badass 2 now for sale if you want it.

    Folks, I got the bass this morning. It was in a bit of a state, but a few hours of scrubbing, cleaning and fumigating have made it much more presentable. Doesn't smell like a rugby changing room now. I've removed the badass and replaced it with the original bridge. New set of strings and then the fun started with a setup. Out came the neck shim that was there to compensate for the the thicker baseplate of the Badass. Adjusting the truss-rod's a real pain because you have to take the neck off each time. You can't even get to the adjuster by taking off the pickguard. Neck off, tweak truss-rod, neck on, tune up, neck off... Anyway, it's sounding good. I'm surprised at the trebly tone, even with half-wounds on. Through the practice amp it sounds appreciably more jazz-like (compared to the Ibanez) than I was expecting. Band practice tonight - we'll see how we get on. Thanks to everybody for your help and advice with this, Steve

    [quote name='mckendrick' timestamp='1332560128' post='1590126'] That'll change. Mark my words. [/quote] Well - we'll see! The Blazer has already taken over from my USA P and my USA G&L L2000. If the Fotoflame is as good or better than the Blazer - especially in the mids tone - I'll be very happy indeed.
  22. solo4652
    Thank you everybody for your help and advice. I've bought it. The plan is that it will be the back-up to my main gigging bass which is an Ibanez Blazer. I have a mint 2008 USA P which is too valuable to have lying around unused (I prefer the tone of the Ibanez), and too valuable to risk getting damaged at pub gigs as a back-up for the Ibanez. So, it may well be that I'll sell the USA P. Black/white/maple if anybody's interested... Steve
  23. solo4652
    Seller says serial number is S028XXX. I've asked for a photo of the base of the neck showing it. All being well, I'm poised to buy. I have a USA P, so I'll be able to compare the two basses. Steve

    [quote name='JakeBrownBass' timestamp='1332436287' post='1588405'] Wrong, the first two notes are up an octave. If you can't hear that i really suggest you do some work on ear training.

    [quote name='Kempy535' timestamp='1332343797' post='1586989'] Get in bought I really like the foto flame Strat I have its an excellent guitar. A Jap made P bass for £300 (after selling the badass) what's not to like [/quote] You're being very helpful and very unhelpful at the same time!
