  1. Hey y’all,

    After a recent acquisition this has slipped down the pecking order so on she must go.

    1996 I think (well 96 or 97 prior to them shifting from MIJ to CIJ) Precision. Metallic red with aftermarket black scratchplate with black screws.

    A few little dings here and there as you’d expect for a 20+ year old instrument but nothing major.

     

    * Please note * - The bass is currently strung B to D and the nut has been cut accordingly. Been this way for a good while now. Fairly straightforward fix to get her back to standard though.

    Upgraded Seymour Duncan SPB-3 Quarterpounder pickup. Sounds like a P bass should and feels and plays ace.

    Will supply in tatty but functional Fender gig bag.

    Don’t have original p/up or scratchplate.

    Not a fan of posting guitars so it’s collection or close meet-up in Birmingham/West Midlands on this for now at least (am located by J7 of M6).

    Looking for a straight sale ideally, although am on the lookout for a light weight single cab solution.

    Feel price is reasonable given the mods etc.

     

    cheers

  2. I decided to dip my toe back into the fretlwss pond about 22 years after first giving it a whirl. I always steered myself away from cheapies after my early 90s first bass experiences. I went for a second hand Vintage Icon (the Jaco tribute). Picked it up for about £120. Cracking bass. Absolutely cracking.

  3. Does my frickin’ box in when a bassist slaps the living feckery out of their bass during soundcheck then doesn’t play even a passage of slap in their set. Amazes me how often this still happens. Completely pointless.

    personally though, a few runs of whatever I feel at the time and playing as hard as I do during a set which, perish my right hand, is hard and right in the sweet spot of a Precision

  4. Wouldn’t say hated but I’d lusted after a Ricky for years. Bought a 4003 in around 2002. It felt lovely (other than the pain of fingerstyle with the stupid pickup and surround), looked stunning but tonally did nada for me. 

    Played it occasionally, kept it 3 or 4 years and sold it on at a profit. I’ve still often thought I should give one another go for some reason though...

  5. Indeed they are. Mine needs a decent setup and the jack input is loose so I need to right that. And yeah, was thinking similarly with the strap tbh.

    I’m fortunate that I got the plate with mine but am unsure just now as to whether I prefer with or without. If I stick to without I’ll let you know! 👍🏻

  6. Agree with some of the comments of other posters, in that you have described what a fairly hefty chunk of bassists would consider ‘the’ bass sound. 

    My main go to Jap P has a crazy hot pickup, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Works with anything...

  7. Just sayin’ but...

     

    2x12 TB combo up in the for sale now. Will give you the sound you want, all compact and give you readies left over for what I’m asking if you moved on you TH and BF... 😬😬😬

     

    In all seriousness though, the TBs are great and do ‘that’ Orange tone beautifully. Had it not been for the pull back to Ashdown I wouldn’t be moving mine on. If you decide to go just for the head they (the 500w) seem to be cropping up on FB groups a fair bit lately for £300-£350...

  8. After many ‘new basses’ passing through my hands over the years I realised about 10 years ago that the only ones I hold on to seem to be used bassesn. Precisions are my general go to basses and I like them to have signs of having a life. To the point that the visual condition doesn’t matter to me in the slightest so long as it’s just cosmetic. The sight of a well worn sunburst P with a tort plate is enough to get me all of a quiver.

  9. As per description. I’ve moved to separates so moving this on.

    I’ve owned it for under 12 mths and purchased it from 2x18 of this parish. In great condition, gigged just a handful of times and otherwise has been living and used in our rehearsal space.

    In keeping with Basschat tradition I’m only looking to get back what I paid to anyone who buys off here, which I think is a good price given what the heads and cabs fetch secondhand individually.

    Same amp section as the TB heads. Nice cleans and easy to dial in dirt by bringing the gain up. Simple but great EQ.

    It’s nice and compact as it’s the isobaric speaker configuration (2x12, one behind the other), but make no mistake it cuts through two guitars and a loud drummer with ease. Really good projection as well considering the size.

    Its got the switchable 4/8 ohm option as well if an additional cab is desired.

    Will supply with fitted Orange cover, speakon and power lead.

    Going to have to say straight sale only, purely because I value my nuts more than GAS!!! :)

    Collection only from Great Bar (just off J7 M6) or could possibly do meet up in close vicinity, though I’d prefer it if it could be tried out first, just because that’s what I’m like!
