*SOLD* For sale (no trade offers please) is a 2016/17 right handed long scale Fender MIM Precision bass in Arctic White with rosewood fingerboard, with upgraded pickups and wiring. Before I go any further, as I know this is important to many of us, this bass weighs a reasonable 4.0kg (8.8 lbs) on my digital luggage scales - a touch more than the Player P’s I’ve had, but less than every USA P bass I’ve had. It balances well. It’s in excellent condition and has clearly been looked after. There are no dings, paint chips, chunks out of the back of the neck, etc, just a couple of tiny what I guess you’d call scuffs on the body which are nigh on impossible to see / photograph. It has a nice dark rosewood fingerboard on a ‘tinted satin urethane’ finished maple neck. The board was lemon oiled in September 2023. The neck has the usual 1.625” P nut width, but has a very slim neck front to back, measured with digital calipers as 0.802” at the 1st fret and 0.886” at the 12th fret. It’s the slimmest Fender P bass neck I’ve played, and is nice and fast with the satin urethane finish. It’s effectively a ‘Slim C’ neck profile though isn’t spec’d as such. The Arctic White colour is very nice, closer to the cool white of the Player ‘Polar White’ than a creamy ‘Olympic White’. Strung with 45-105 medium gauge GHS Boomers (M3045) nickel rounds with plenty of life left in them. Stock open gear tuners and bridge. Pickups have been upgraded to the excellent Fender Custom Shop CS62. Box included though it’s a bit tatty. Wiring upgraded to USA specs, to a KiOgon loom (CTS pots, Switchcraft Jack, 0.047uf capacitor), with 1/4” chrome knobs to fit the pots. It was a solderless loom, but has since had the bridge wires fully soldered on. Please note I no longer have the stock pickups and wiring. Not that you would need them as it sounds great as is. Fantastic full range of tones compared to the stock pots. Bought from a fellow Basschatter Summer 2023, this is a semi reluctant sale as this is a very nice bass. I just marginally prefer my Player P bass and think I’ll always favour a maple board, so am moving this on. It’s a great colour combo, with 3-ply BWB plate on, and a 3-ply WBW plate will be included too. Both are aftermarket ones as far as I can tell but fit ok. There is no bag or case included in this sale, but I have a good quality box and packing from when I received it. Collection is possible from Southport. I work near St Helens, so could meet in that area or somewhere in the North West within reason. Price is including postage, so there will be a discount if collected. Otherwise I will post to a mainland UK address only, using Parcelforce 24 hour next day, fully protected delivery, with live tracking available on day of delivery. I should be able to post within 1 working day of payment being received, depending on my work shifts. I would rather post it Mon to Thurs, so it’s not sat in a depot all weekend. Feel free to check my Basschat feedback & PM me if interested or wanting more photos. It is set up with a nice low to medium action and the truss rod turns as it should. It is sold as seen, with no tools or inspection tag. Serial number shows 2017, I have run it through the Fender serial number check and it shows as registered March 2017 - see photos. MIM basses moved over to Pau Ferro boards not long after this, so here is your chance to get a nice dark rosewood board. I paid £425 for this here a few months ago, and have spent £145 on upgrades (pickups £100, wiring loom, pots & knobs £45). It’s in exactly the same condition I bought it in and hasn’t been played much. I think £520 is a fair price for a great condition P bass with top upgrades.

Oh, wow. What a beauty

Love the Player maple necks. Mine has the 75th anniversary badge on too. I have to ask - where did you get that pickguard - Black Pearl / Abalone? I want one! GLWTS

Oh wow! What a colour. It’s a shame they don’t do a Precision in some of the recent Player jazz colours like Aged Candy Apple Red, Blueburst, Greenburst, etc. I just remembered where I recognise this colour bass from. Christian from Slowdive has been using one recently. They look fantastic. GLWTS

*SOLD* Fender Precision pickups & wiring loom set from a 2017 MIM P. Included in sale are: Said pickups with covers, screws & foam Wiring loom with A250K tone & volume pots, capacitor & jack Flat top chrome vol & tone knobs Some leftover cloth wiring, about 50cm each black & white Postage to UK only. Will be sent boxed, same or next day payment received, depending on my work shifts.

This is lovely. GLWTS

Very nice lightweight Jazz build. The Player necks are great. This should make a great bass for someone. GLWTS.

@Dov65 Thanks. The Players represent great value for money. This shouldn't be here for long. . .

Lovely. I believe the weight can vary massively on these, with some around 10lbs. A sub 8lb model is a great find if someone is looking for one of these. GLWTS

Free bump. The Player basses are great. Don't hesitate folks. GLWTS.

I'm not much of a Jazz or Sunburst man, but this looks awesome with the nitro finish. Heard great things about the Highway One basses. Surprised it's still here. GLWTS.

Have a free bump on me. The Player basses are fantastic and anyone on the fence should get off right now and buy this. They have lovely necks and are generally lighter than USA models. Some tasteful upgrades there. If you don't mind me asking, which model of Hipshot bridge & tuners are these, and are they 'drop-in' replacements? I've read that tuner upgrades are a good way of shedding weight, but am yet to change any over myself. Thanks.

The Incredible Hulk bass is back! What is the weight please? Thanks

‘Bent Bit Of Tin’ I think

OOF! What a unique finish. I bet this would look even more awesome with a black plate on it. GLWTS

These are outstanding quality. A bargain for someone here. Shouldn’t be around for long

SOLD P-bass pickups from a Matt Freeman Squier precision bass. Bought from here and never used due to project which didn’t happen. I believe this is a nice vintage-sounding (rather than modern) pickup. Please note this sale is for pickups (with foam, plastic covers & wires) only as shown in the photo. No screws, pots, etc, included. There is a little bit of sticky residue on top of one plastic cover which I’m sure could be easily removed. £20 posted.
