Hmmmm... Fender Jazz Musicman Stingray Rickenbacker 4001/3 Fender Precision ... Can I put Moog Taurus here too?

Hey, Would prefer for it to stay local, but any and all welcome providing you can pick it up! I'd just be happy for it to be used again!

Ha, ironically nearly two grands worth of Ricky is well on it's way towards a second, maybe third modification, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it to this bass! Besides, a Jazz and MM already hold the postions of backup/alternative bass...

Cheers bud! I love this bass, but it should be being used rather than collecting dust! If taken up, I'll sort out some new strings and a set up.

Hi all, Struggling with this one... My parents are moving out of the family home back up in Surrey, long term home of the bass I learnt to play on - an old black Encore Precision copy. I just don't have space in my flat for a bass that, in all honesty, I won't use. Want this to go to a good home. It's used (read faded, bashed and scraped up), but study, solid and sounds good, excellent for a beginner! I don't really want to lose this one, but its taking up space, and I'm not going to get a lot of money for it if I do try to sell! Starting off yourself, or got a younger sibling wanting to start? Help me know that this is passing on to someone that will love it as much as I have! This was played so much that the P-pickup has a curve worn into the top that still fits my thumb perfectly! No case or bag anymore, so local (Portsmouth) collection only please!

Update to mine. Taken a bit of a noisy turn... [URL=http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/iamtheelvy/media/20e98161-7673-42c7-a177-4c38ccf50ca4_zps2535b1b4.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/iamtheelvy/20e98161-7673-42c7-a177-4c38ccf50ca4_zps2535b1b4.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

Convienently off ill from work today (yes really!), so I could take delivery of these: [URL=http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/iamtheelvy/media/2013-07-26115603_zps1419aea5.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/iamtheelvy/2013-07-26115603_zps1419aea5.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/iamtheelvy/media/2013-07-26115612_zps14cfbb4f.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/iamtheelvy/2013-07-26115612_zps14cfbb4f.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/iamtheelvy/media/2013-07-26115621_zps874399e0.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/iamtheelvy/2013-07-26115621_zps874399e0.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1274.photobucket.com/user/iamtheelvy/media/2013-07-26115303_zps7cf67e90.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1274.photobucket.com/albums/y440/iamtheelvy/2013-07-26115303_zps7cf67e90.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Smaller pedal is the standard Dark Driving, larger one is Rat Tail to the left and Grey Stache (with cornea-burning white LED) on the right in one enclosure!

Got the tracking number from Ryan.

Just heard, pedals are waiting for me somewhere in a customs depot! Cue extortionate charges...

Meh. I'm all for moving forward, but Fender should stick to being Fender...

Ring Mods are certainly 'weird'... Can be pretty tricky to use musically without a lot of tweaking! Just started using the Prunes and Custard - very usable pedal. It's very different, but works well as a distortion/fuzz in the mix.

Been a couple of weeks since shipping... tum te tum...

I liked the 'Hotrod' Precisions that Fender offered a few years ago. Seems strange that they don't offer a standard American PJ setup anymore...

Those that have ordered direct before: what's the delivery time like on these things?

The Precision is my favourite bass of all time, that's why I own a Jazz Bass, a Musicman Stingray and a Rickenbacker 4003... Everytime I buy a new bass I have a 'dammit!' moment a month or so later!! Still, it means that I always have at least one more bass to buy. Mrstheelvy does not quite see it the same way...

I'd like to get a pedalboard just consisting of Big Muffs from every era... Not to play through as such, just because...

Bass Guitar Magazine have put in a good word before. They may print something further now that this has got a little more attention.

[quote name='iamtheelvy' timestamp='1372536252' post='2127033'] Hey guys, just put the order in with Ry, so it'll be a couple of months, but get some pics soon! Dark Driving and custom Grey Stache / Rat Tail combo (The RatStache), both Kid-Painted! [/quote] Well, ok, I was expecting september time, but just got the email from Ry that these are shipping today!
