My ‘Mini Marvel’ well sorted travel, backup, beginner,student, holiday or just noodling on the sofa Bass. I really wanted a Rob Allen Mouse, but unfortunately the ‘in house accountant’ didn’t agree. This is a hand picked Fender Squier Mini P Bass in Dakota red with a lovely flame maple neck (please see specs) Listed below are the upgrades to improve what was already a lovely mini Bass & is in virtually mint condition……. Levelled the frets. Fitted replacement Tonerider ‘The Duke’ pickups - big fat sound 12.0K Alinco 5 Replaced the pick guard with a lovely custom celluloid top layer 4 ply Vintage Tort jobbie. Standard loom replaced with a Fab KiOgen solderless kit. Fitted La Bella Black Nylon Tape Flat Wound short scale light gauge strings. Fingerboard has been treated with Fender Custom Shop oil. Added a used Gibson Canadian Levy’s thickly padded Gig Bag, which has a bit of wear at the top - please see pics, but still does its job. The result of my tinkering is a ridiculously easy to play big fat sounding, lightweight Mini Bass which can be played all day long with a very low action all the way up the neck & the look on your band mates faces when you produce a Strat sized Bass from the Gig Bag & plug it in is priceless. Weight is just 2.7kg, or 5.95lns in ‘old money’ - so ideal for long Gigs or young and old players alike. Postage to the U.K. Mainland only - sorry, at cost price of £22.45 including insurance. What Fender say…………. The Squier Mini Precision Bass® is the perfect companion for players seeking a reduced-size instrument with classic styling and familiar Fender® tone. Highlights include a thin and lightweight body, a short-scale neck with an easy-to-play "C"-shaped profile, a Squier split single-coil pickup with volume and tone controls for sonic variety, and a hardtail bridge for solid tuning stability.

Hi, if you click on the link below there’s a Chap showing how - hopefully🙏🙏 Sorty about the advert at the start🙈🙈 All the best, Tim https://youtu.be/lDCJLnrwr4o

Thanks David, Love the necks on these, they seem to play themselves - which in my case is a very good thing😟😟😂😂👍

Thank you, I’d forgotten to mention it has the vintage stylee reverse tuners - I’ve amended the post now👍

Thank you Mr. R. If it sells I’m sure I will be just as devastated as when I sold my last AVRI P Bass, but as I’m only noodling in my dotage it seems a bit extravagant to hang on to it - especially when the MOT on my jalopy is due next month😟😟🙏🙏🙈🙈!

My really nice P Bass which I would rate as being in excellent 9/10 condition with just a few play wear marks mainly to the pick guard, tiny piece of the headstock decal missing + small dings & play wear marks, the worst being near the bridge cover / rear strap button area - please see pics. The black mark on the rear of the otherwise unmarked neck is ‘in the wood’ & not damage, + the headstock is clean & free from damage. I’ve owned & played umpteen P Basses over the past half Century and I can honestly say that this is right up there with the best of them - in my humble opinion of course. Alder Body, Maple Neck & beautiful dark Rosewood Board. Very low action all the way up the fingerboard with spot on relief thanks to level frets & a Pro set up which makes this P Bass very easy to play, plus very well balanced at 3.9kg, or 8.59lbs in old money. Nut width is 44mm + nice & shallow in depth, so very comfortable to play. Fully functioning easy to turn both ways Truss Rod, which can be adjusted without removing the neck Neck & neck pocket are as tight as the proverbial Gnats Chuff! Reverse Vintage stylee tuners. New set of La Bella Low Tension Flats just fitted. Fender USA superb quality C & G black hard case, with plush red interior & key included in virtually mint condition. Numbered Fender Certificate of Authenticity + both ashtrays, tug bar & Case Candy, including a couple of handy zipped pouches. Lovey playing / sounding P Bass that I’m sure the new owner will be ‘cock a hoop’ with! This beauty is all original, apart from the pick guard screws which l’ve changed for black ones as l think they look better than the silver finish ones, but the originals will be included so they can be swapped back if required. I believe these were based on a ‘63 P Bass rather than the newer American Original 60’s ll which I think are based on a ‘62 P? What Fender say……………. Serial Number: V2093899 with Certificate of Authenticity. Origin: USA Year: 2020 American Original '60s Precision Bass® Description By the 1960s, the Precision Bass was the workhorse electric bass; from the clubs of Detroit to the beaches of Southern California, its tone laid the foundation for modern music.
