You just looking for cash or any trades at all?

Solid and reliable 8 ohm 800w Ampeg 4x10 cab. Everything is working as it should, sounds amazing. A few bumps and scrapes as you would expect from a gigged cab but in great condition and looks awesome. 

Collection only or delivery within a reasonable distance from Worcester. Priced to sell. Sold as pictured. Cheers!

Got to do business with Steve today, as he took ownership of my gorgeous '66 precision. Top guy, great player, super smooth transaction and had a awesome time noodling and talking all things bass. Highly recommended!

All the best

Adam

I had the jazz from this series and it was utterly glorious.

£2900 to kick off the week

What a nice looking bass. It's natural refinish has a nice balance in color with the pickguard and chrome covers. It probably plays and sounds awesome.. 

If only blabla.... 

GLWTS! 

Yeah, I’d say it was refinished at some point in the late 70s, so there’s some age to the finish for sure. It’s genuinely the best playing P bass I’ve ever had the fortune of playing, and if circumstances were different, it wouldn’t be going anywhere!

Evening all

I played this bass in a shop years ago (Chandlers I think), at which time I was still firmly in something of a Jaco phase. I loved it, and thought "I'll own that one day when I have a proper job"! It popped up for sale on Reverb earlier this year so I jumped at it. It's absolutely glorious, and pretty much sounds like it looks (and smells), open the case and plug it in and it oozes a 50+ year history of jazz/blues bars, sweat, nicotine and alcohol. It's obviously had a few changes over the years, but none detract from the fact that this is a fine example of a well played vintage musician's bass, and far closer I imagine to Jaco's than the FCS relic ever was (I've owned that also).

But I sank almost £3k into a bass that I only play at home, which simply doesn't work with any of the bands I play in, and which I think I'd prefer to trade for something more useful (I also have a Warmoth FL Jazz that works better for me having a 42nn nut). So, I'm looking to trade for a fretted Precision from around the same era (or a Gibson mandolin, or, well hit me with really interesting stuff as long as it wasn't manufactured since 1980)!

Not looking for a sale right now thanks, money will simply disappear into bills and stuff! I'm in no rush to move it on, but thought I'd see what might be out there. 

Photos below from the dealer's site, I can provide more detailed shots if needed. 

Cheers

If someone DOES want to buy it for 3k, you can buy my '66 precision for the same price...!

Final drop to £3000

Black Friday price drop to £3100

As new Vintera series 60s Fender Mustang Bass in fiesta red. Bought new for a project that didn’t come to fruition, literally taken out of its padded gig bag, set up, played a few times in the studio, and put back away. Not a mark or scratch on her.

Awesome funky little, exceptional playing bass that I wanted as soon as they were released, will even come packed in its original shipping box.

Any questions, please ask. No trades or offers.  Shipping at buyers risk and cost, cheers!

.....and here's the other one, which I thought was a '67 but I'd have to check: EDIT: 1965!!

 

Like Hoodyy's it has a silver logo, though I cant see the font clearly and this one has the reverse Kluson tuning keys verses the '68 above that featured 70's style tuning keys instead.

 

This is the one!!

I'd need the money to buy it, and the money to get Bravewood to replicate the original sunburst finish...

What a great Bass, glwts.

That was originally my plan for her, but I ended up coming to love the grain and the finish as it was!

Good luck with the sale Adam, A gentleman to deal with guys

Brian

Much appreciated Brian, thank you!

OOOOOOOooooofff.

I have this exact bass from the same year that I bought from new, and out of all the basses that have come and gone, this has always been one I’ll never sell. Awesome bass for the money. GLWTS.

Yeah, I’ve played so many. The 61 I appraised for a liquidation company and played for a few days was a dream. And then I found it went at auction for £1450 or something.

I’d just paid £1200 for a 77...

Oh man...don't...I've seen those ones go by before too...so painful!

Just now, AndyTravis said:

I’ve heard 63, and a 65 in sunburst which eventually evolved from natural into black with gold bits...

Either way. I would have to sell to buy, and my flea and 64 CS jazz are staying...

Although I’d be struggling to resist if sat in the same room with all 3.

Damn.

I mean everyone says this, but I really do mean it when I say this is the best playing neck I've ever had on a P bass. It really is a beaut. And I've played a bunch!

Bloody eck. Almost a real life Deacy bass.

Phwoar, cor and yum.

True story...when I bought and watched the Queen - Live In Toronto gig on itunes...I spent about the first 20 minutes going...is it?? It's not...MY bass....is it?? I believe his is a '62 and I triple checked the grain pattern, but yeah...it's incredibly similar.

Very original 1966 Fender Precision bass. Stripped and refinished at some point in the 70s, it was originally sunburst. Neck date is 5th October ’66, one of the last CBS transition basses (F stamp neck plate, but unstamped tuners).

Pickup has one grey bottom, one black bottom, pencil dated May ’67 which is a bit of an oddity, but not the first time i've heard of it. Scratch plate, pick ups, hardware are all original. Pots that came with the base were terrible 70s ones (likely changed when it was stripped) that I replaced with new, but correct CTS taper pots using the original cap.

The untouched, worn-back neck is the best I've ever played on a bass, as you'd expect from something that's been played for over 50 years. Small ding at the 12th fret which is unnoticeable when playing.

My number 1 bass, with unbeatable playability and tone. Repro bridge and pick up covers and fender hard case included. Sensible inquiries only. Collection only, located in Worcester. No trades. No international sales. Any questions or try outs or anything at all, don't hesitate to give me a shout. Cheers!

Adam

That’s a bummer, yes that has happened to me in the past. 

Yeah, it's incredibly frustrating, but these things happen, onwards and upwards!

I thought someone had bid on it as I was watching it, what happened? 

They were based in Poland and it was listed as a non-International, collection only auction.

Dead end on ebay, so open again to offers here, cheers!
