Thank you, yes she does !! and very loud - for some reason beyond my comprehension - more windings?? I got the chance to A/B these pickups against two early 70's Precisions last year with the same amp settings and the difference in volume was surprising to say the least!! To my very old cloth ears, she sounds like a 60's P should. However, the tone control has a big range compared to a lot of P's I've played over the years, as some of them didn't seem to do a lot at all. I've had to put her away in her case now - if I leave her on her stand, I can't stop picking her up for a noodle, oo- er missus, which not only stops me from getting things done, but the more I play her, the less I want to part company with her !!

Ah, 'Neil' from the Young Ones !! - welcome to the Old Codgers Club !! Funnily enough, I did the Harry Worth window thing the other night !! But I can only do it with my right arm and leg these days, if I try do it with the left arm and leg - I fall over, especially on the way home from the pub!! your 'Old Codgers Club' badge is in the post !!

Thanks for the kind words Chaps Strangely I find my very old Jack Bass easiest to play for err 'longer' periods - in the words of Harry Worth - showing my age now! - 'I don't know why, but there it is' !! Then next probably the Status, so it's obviously a weight / headless thang, as they are both under 8lbs But it's 'something' spooky when I pick up and play the '68, wether it's Mojo or just my imagination - daft old bugger - it just. has 'something' ?? - Boomshanka !!

In very good condition complete with a mint SWR dust cover. 80w stand alone, or 100w with 8ohm extension speaker, so fine for rehearsal, small gigs, or larger gigs with an extension cab. Small footprint and a great range of tones from this little beauty. 16.5" W x 14.5" H x 14" D, switchable tweeter, effects send / return, aural enhancer, effects blend, bass, middle, treble, headphones out for silent practise + extension speaker out Jack socket and balanced

Weekend 8.4lbs - ish, type bump

Weekend bump - titty !!...

I have the 1 x 10 one of these which is awesome - so this must be monstrous type bump !!

Had a reply from Rob at Status, he says it would be £325 to add frets - but I would urge the new owner to persevere for a few weeks as it is - it doesn't take too long to get the hang of it with the lines & side dots - honest injun !!

Thank you, it's not an abrasion - it's where the paint has 'flaked off', the bare wood is unmarked, so it could be the grain you are seeing. No idea why the paint is flaking, it' was like that when I got her

Thanks Chaps - I think the weight is around 8.5lbs, but I'll check tomorrow.

As my advancing Arthritis means that I can only play for around 10 to 15 minutes a time these days, I am considering letting my beloved - all original apart from a few screws - 1968 Fender Precision go to a new home where it will be used as it should !! I have owned a vintage P in the past which was virtually unmarked and guess what? yep, didn't dare to take it out of the house, let alone 'Gig' with it! Whereas This beauty only gets better with age and use. This is not one to hang on the wall and sadly never used, unless your main thing is Mojo? as this has it in spades. This is one of the very last of the few transition jobbies before Fender changed to the more modern looking livery and still retains all the much sought pre CBS characteristics, but also has the ultra rare original 'Lollipop' tuners, which I think we're only used between 1965 to 1968 and originally only fitted to Jazz Basses. It also sports the prettiest Nitrocellulose Tort Pickguard I've ever seen which is undamaged and which my very poor photography really does not do justice to. The pickups are original and very powerfull. The neck is straight and is the 'B' profile which I find much more comfortable to play than the earlier, wider 'C' profile neck. The truss rod is fully operational and the action is very low - all the way up the fingerboard, which I believe is a very dark rosewood?? The Bridge is the 60's 'threaded' type and works fine and the Fender Decal is the original 'transition' type. There is natural crazing to what's left of the original finish, which has worn due to lots of use over the past 46 + years. However, the frets have decades of life left in them. The sound is superb and quite varied using the tone control and is a dream to play, currently sporting Status Nylon coated flat wound strings 40 to 100 gauge. Complete with original Fender case, however I would prefer cash on collection, or if you are too far away, you can arrange your own courier and pay via Bank Transfer. Would consider a Fender CIJ or MIJ Precision for home noodling or WHY in part exchange?? ps - I have the original finger / thumb rest but took it off as it was getting in the way and will be refitted. Thank you for your time and interest.

You need the B profile neck, which I think measures 1 & 5/8ths" at the nut as opposed to the wider C profile neck found on early / mid 60's P basses ! Having played only Jazzers for years in the early days, this width of neck doesn't feel too much different to the A Profile neck of a Jazz to me. ps - I think the '5' on the Fender neck stamp denotes that it's a Precision, not the actual day of the month, otherwise from experience, all P basses were only made on the 5th of each month !

A 'thanks Guys for the helpful ideas and waiting to hear back from Rob or Dawn' type bump !!...

'Brilliant' - thank you, I never thought of that - I'll try and find out

Midweek attempting to stop the earache and price drop type bump ...

'Just been reminded by the current kitchen viper that I still owe her an amount equivalent to the national debt of a small country, from when I had to update my jalopy late last year and now she wants to update hers' - type bump !!

Ashdown 15w Bass Combo, which is ideal for bedroom, living room, office etc practise and has aux. in & headphone out for silent practise. It's in OK condition and would probably benefit from a good clean. I could not recommend it for live use, unless it was a really quiet acoustic gig and it would then benefit from adding an 8ohm extension cab via the really handy ext. speaker out Jack. Only an eight inch speaker, so don't expect the Earth to move, but that's not what it's for - It is so small and compact that it takes up virtually no space in any room. £35.00 collected - or £50 delivered to the UK Mainland. Thank you
