Howdy fellow northerners - I'm originally from Manchester but after living in Chorley and Anderton for a while ended up in Billington near Whalley - all lovely places to live.

What bands are you in? I'm in an Americana band called The Low Highway

His brother Neil said they were 'out of this world!"

Selling my 2013 MIA PBass special £725- here's the science bit...

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]American Special (MIA) quite rightly looks every bit like a regular P-Bass should. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]It presents a new slim profile, sophisticated model that oozes class and looks right at home in today's bass market. As such it features a fully contoured body, however, with a high gloss finish to the fully contoured body and shallow 'C'-shaped neck. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]With its satin finish and a rosewood fingerboard, the neck is fixed to the body in traditional style with four screws and neck plate. The body sports a Fender original tortoiseshell scratch plate (2nd pic) that i've added to give it that traditional look but also comes with white/black/white three-ply scratchplate with a cut-out for access to the truss rod adjustment at the body end. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]The traditional split-coil pickup offers vintage-style Alnico magnets and features a Greasebucket tone circuit that, according to Fender, "rolls off highs without adding bass". [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Available in a variety of finishes including this glorious three-tone sunburst, it remains a great looking bass and is particularly good to play. [/size][/font][/color]


[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]One major change that was implemented throughout the range some years back is the introduction of a thicker headstock. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]This definitely makes sense when it comes to both sound quality and roadworthiness [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Sounds [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Had the bass set up professionally with La Bella flats and action is super low and fast [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Fully rolled off (anti- clockwise) there's a clearer, funkier element than you'd normally associate with a P-Bass. At the other extreme (full treble) there's a bright but solid delivery. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]By gradually easing back the tone control that funky element stays pretty much in place no matter where the control is set. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Curiously, about two fifths down from full treble there's almost a sweet spot, usually associated with dual-pickup basses such as the Fender Jazz; it's as if the split- coil element takes over and a blending occurs between the bottom two strings and the top two. It's a subtle effect, but a cool one nonetheless. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]So, the Greasebucket circuit does what it says on the tin and has something effective to say. It's not vastly different from the standard passive circuit but then this is a Precision and it should sound like one, which it certainly does: loud and distinctly solid, a feature that rock players in particular will find very attractive. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]For our money this neck profile has to be one of the very best on any Precision since day one! Forget authenticity, or those classic early versions, this neck shape is excellent. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]Includes trust rod adjuster, fender cloth and all original paperwork [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#3C3241][font=Castledown, Arial, sans-serif][size=4]There is a little ding on back (pictured) but apart from that it is in superb like new condition[/size][/font][/color]
