  1. BTW, I can swap for a nearly new set of Pyramid Gold flats (which will last for years!) for old school thump and the bass comes with both chrome covers
  2. Love this bass, keep coming back to look. I assume its this one from BassDirect, which has more pics to salivate over https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Serek_Midwestern_TV_Yellow.html
  3. Well I do have 3 other basses (51P, Mustang, Alembic), 2 fretless basses and a double bass, so I will not be running out of options!
  4. I really like this bass but I only need one Precision and I have decided to stick with my '51 CS. Plus the money would come in handy, so no trades. You will be hard pushed to find another surf green 70RI Precision in the UK. Good condition with a few little nicks and abrasions here and there, nothing major, and you can see there was once a circular sticker on the pickguard if you hold it up to the light (it's barely visible and I didn't notice it for weeks). Weighs a smidgeon over 9 pounds, plays very smoothly with hybrid coated EB nickel Slinkies on. Only has a soft gigbag but will be safely packed in bubble wrap and cardboard. £750 plus post in UK My NBD thread with pics I bought it from Gas Station Guitars at the start of May but the advert has disappeared (apologies I linked to another ad of theirs)... I will add more pictures of my bass on Sunday Addendum: Guitar Info Your guitar was made at the Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan in 1997 - 2000 Production Number: 92969
  5. Lovely bass and nice playing! I have a '72 Mustang and these are fun instruments to play
  6. Stunning bass that was made for me. Lovely and light (despite dense chocolatey cocobolo facing)and plays effortlessly. GLWTS Frank
  7. Very good price, shame the seller is a Man Utd fan
  8. Is it?

      Fixed.  You're welcome.  Easiest exorcism ever.

  9. Gorgeous. If only I could shift my Fender CS 51 Precision
  10. Lovely bass. If I can move on my Fender CS 51P I may be in touch. In the mean time, have a bump!
  11. Some more pics to show the excellent condition. PS, these are over £3k new (when you can find one). £3,147 here https://www.projectmusic.net/fender-custom-shop-vintage-custom-1951-precision-bass-22967-p.asp PPS, in case you were wondering from the pics, its currently in a Mono gigbag (as its easier to schlep around) but will be sold with its original tweed CS hard case
  12. Bought on this forum in April for £2200 and basically the same condition etc, bar changed strings for 'old school' style Pyramid flatwounds (has tweed hard case, candy etc etc). Obviously not left the house in that time ... Original FS ad link here: I adore the looks and the history but - having given it a couple of months 'crack of the whip' - I just am not comfortable with the chunky neck over extended periods of playing (I prefer short/medium scale and my other Precision has a skinny 70's neck). I broke my left hand a decade ago and I cannot cope with clubbier necks, unfortunately, despite how lovely this bass is. Socially-distanced handover in SW13 (south of Hammersmith) or post for £30 on top within UK (£60 to EU). Pics below including two different 'tug bars', original maple and black dyed maple one courtesy of Rick's Fine '52 PS, no trades thanks. Kind of need the money given COVID impact on finances
  13. Doh! yeah I forgot that was Jaco. It was the funk machine
  14. Nice! I had one many years ago that I got Sims to refinish to look like Mani's fireglo 3000. I think this web pic is my old bass
  15. I did for a time own the Alleva Coppolo prototype Precision (with two J pickups) that was made for Willie Weeks while touring with Clapton (pictured). Gotta say provenance alone doesn't make me want to keep a bass. Although I would make an exception if Rob Trujillo were to donate Jamerson's bass of doom to me!
  16. Crikey, I didn't know of that provenance @Happy Jack. As with other Wals I have owned, though, I liked the concept and aura of the brand more than the reality of playing it, so I am not sad to have moved it on.
  17. Said quietly, I paid Leszek £580 for my R-400 a month back, albeit the figure will move with the sterling/zloty exchange rate
  18. Its about 9 and a half pounds so at the upper end of what I am comfortable with but balances well with a wide strap, so all good thanks! My last one was well over 10 and that was too much
  19. Just appeared in their shop. Droooool!
  20. I nominate @hiram.k.hackenbacker
  21. Not guilty. It is only one of 3 basses ever manufactured that I haven't either owned (and sold) or played. Or is it 2? 😁

    New (1984) Alembic Day Spoiler in black Cliff Burton style livery. Very battered but now benefiting from judicious application of black nail varnish and a good polish of the brass bits!
