Tuesday bump, adding that would trade against a sunburst 63 Precision as well as oly white. Off to the lands of pickled herrings and smorgasbord, yay! So, as mentioned in OP, I may not pick up PMs in an especially timely manner in next couple of days

Thanks Andy and Loz. It is the best bass I have ever owned so it seems perverse selling it, but I have a weird psychological calling to a year-of-birth Fender ... and I am of a certain age that means that would be a pre-CBS (and thus pricey) option!

Blimey, old thread resuscitation award! These were sold in June 2009

Thanks Barrie! Monday morning bump

Incidentally here is loz' FS thread with some more details than mine (eg, it was made in June 2008) [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=100561&hl=lozbass+Alleva"]http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=...=lozbass+Alleva[/url]

Thanks Jack, it was playing your lightweight, superb sounding '66 Fender Precision yesterday that tipped me over the edge and prompted me to renew my longstanding (but never-done-anything-about-it) search for a Y-O-B (1963) Precision

I recently got this from molan (it was previously owned by lozbass, a man of impeccable bass taste too! Loz' photos below, if thats OK Loz) and it is quite the most beautiful Jazz I have ever seen or played and in immaculate condition. It was the last one fully hand-made by Vinnie Coppolo and team in his NYC workshop (numbered 48 on the neck plate) before he moved to California and introduced CNC machines etc. Nitro 3TS finish, weighs 9.74 pounds, has a comfortable B width (1.625) width neck (its not a skinny J neck), and a beautiful dark chocolate-y dalbergia negra rosewood board (DN is a rare rosewood, stocks of which are no longer available, so I am told). It plays very slickly with very low action (ask the previous owners or Happy Jack, who played it yesterday) and has a huge range of tones from fully passive Jazz through to various active tones (controls are V/V/T, treble boost, bass boost; the second V control pulls up for passive mode). Comes protected in a Hiscox case. Reason for selling: I have re-appraised what I need in basses (again and am going the traditionalist route) and I really want a year-of-birth (1963) Fender Precision, in Olympic white or 3 colour sunburst, and this sale will hopefully fund that (or at least most of it) I am after £2850 - which is the trade value molan and I agreed - or of course a trade against a '63P in oly white (long shot!). BTW, I will be travelling a lot on business this week and next so may not always be able to answer PMs quickly. Would prefer to hand over in person but will ship (given my travelling I will not always be around to package it up immediately).

My old Sid! Should shift fast Dan as there was tons of interest when I last sold it

Hi there. great combo but you need to state a price and it would help if you said where the item is located (I assume from the mixed language it's not in the UK! )

[quote name='wateroftyne' post='1141852' date='Feb 25 2011, 09:44 PM']Well, FWIW... I would pay to see that. Someone buy this damn caps lock key. Once I shift it, I'm buying me a TC head. They're flavour of the month, you know.[/quote] I can offer this TC head. Any good? I'll be in the dustbin if you want to trade [attachment=73228:TOP_CAT_...PRESSION.jpg]

I can't believe this is still here. I'll take when I next get paid. 2017
