My custom bass order has just been completed and here’s a little teaser while I wait for it to arrive next week. 😁

For sure, nitro aside it’s unbelievable how close the neck profiles are. Yeah there is a 2mm nut difference which makes the cv feel slinkier to play, but that aside it punches well above its weight.

Up for sale is my 2008 Squier Classic Vibe 60s Precision Bass This is from the first year of production from the Grand Reward Factory in China, there is lots of information about these online and don’t come up very often - there is currently one up for sale on eBay for £650. These are the more sought after models which were built to a higher standard than the later Indonesian models where they used Laurel fretboards rather than Rosewood and to not such a high QC standard. They only made the sonic blue finish for over a year or so. The bass has been fret polished, strung up with new strings and set with a nice action. It has some marks/dints which can be expected for age of it and there is a paint chip through to the wood on the rear of the body by the neck. This however happened before my ownership. There are no cracks or stress marked around the neck pocket. I have a cheap fender soft bag which will come with it. I have just weighed the bass using a couple of different scales and it comes in at 3.8kg/8lbs 6oz. Based near Stamford in Rutland.

Great to hear Andy, I’ve said to hell with it and thrown caution to the wind. I’ve got one being built as we speak 😊

Squier Classic Vibe Precision Bass 2008 Sonic Blue - *SOLD*

A photo from rehearsal this evening consisting of my Fender American Vintage 2 precision bass and 2008 Squier Classic Vibe Precision. Both fantastic basses and to be honest are closer to each other in feel, vibe and sound. The Av 2 has more bottom end whereas the classic vibe has a lovely vintage mid range to it but with a blindfold I’d be hard pushed to figure out which I was playing.

Thanks Tony, this is also a part of the appeal and the fact I want one in this colour without the heaviness of the relicing of course! 😊

While I don’t disagree, these look to be affordable and decent quality but then you don’t hear me going round saying “another fan fret, multi string pile of metal/funk junk either” One man’s junk is another man’s treasure. I just despise paying ridiculous money for a Fender custom shop bass. Also the fact that I can order exactly what I want rather than having something off the shelf is appealing.

I’ll take that as you don’t own one then?

Hi Guys, I may be late to this but while looking at Vintage Fenders, considering building my own from parts I stumbled across this guy whose making them in a small village in the Rome province. They sound great in the videos and look great in the photos. Has anyone got any experience playing or own one? For the money, around £1000 they look like they could rival the likes of Limelight/Nash and the like. From what I can see Luca builds his own necks and bodies from milled wood rather than use/order in blanks.

I totally agree, the problem arises when people price and describe them as all original when they are far from being. It’s not a problem when they’re priced accordingly.

**SOLD** This one was quite short lived, after years of playing a precision I can’t tear myself away from them but thought it was worth a try. So for sale is my 2013 Fender American Jazz Bass finished in white. It’s in fantastic condition with very little in the way of marks/dents, I’ve found a tiny one and it’s only noticeable when you catch it in the right light on the rear edge - see photos. I’ve had this recently setup including a fret polish and a brand new set of Fender 45-105 Super 7250 bass strings and plays beautifully. It has a set of fender custom shop 60 Jazz pickups which came as standard and these are really smooth sounding. Comes with a hardcase, fender truss rod tool, hang tag and fender booklet. This is as clean as they come and has lived in its case. I’m willing to courier insured at cost to buyer if required but I’m also happy to meet halfway within a reasonable distance. Please message me beforehand if postage is outside UK Mainland - postage to Scotland/Ireland etc will cost more.
