Thought they were still making these, but had switched from Japan to Mexico back end of 2012? Anyway, regardless, if you are heading back north to family at anytime, might be an idea to bump the ad a few days before, you might be able to meet a buyer on route, or have one come to Birknhare

Serves me right Congrats on the sale Colin, cheers, Karl.

Do you still have this Colin?

It is indeed a bargain, but there may be a couple of reasons it is still here. Sherwood Green is not everybodies colour. I love it, but I don't like sunburst. Think the main thing, with the greatest respect, is no courier. Whilst I am very tempted by it, I'm not going to do a 400 mile round trip I'm afraid. I'm possibly not the only one. Good luck, it is lovely.

Sold and thanks for all the interest folks, cheers, Karl.

Erm ,hate to be the bearer of bad news Mark, but today (even in Wigan) is Monday. Have a confused bump

Seen this. It's gorgeous. Ash, sod off tempting me, I'm getting sick of the bloody roadworks near your gaff

[quote name='spongebob' timestamp='1441016062' post='2855272'] Very nice - I do like a red bass. Nice to see another Rickresourcer on here as well, LOL! [/quote] Ssssshhhh [quote name='Tonci' timestamp='1441038003' post='2855551'] Neck is clean? (no dings&dongs?)... [/quote] It's a very nice clear satin neck with a good rosewood board. The neck does have a few brown patches like you can see behind the second fret. They are part of the wood grain, under the satin and with it being 15 years old, would guess they are unlikely to be a problem, just a natural part of the timber this was cut from. My feedback is linked at the bottom of all my posts. Cheers, Karl.

This is the bass Ash had up last week, I took it in part ex against one of mine. Not desperate to sell, but I'm not a fan of Red (except Fiesta) or rosewood boards (except on Road Worn Jazz ). So, it's year 2000, very good condition, couple of little bits on the back, I've shown the worst in the photos. These 1996-2001 series do have decent write ups and quite a few fans. Weight just on 8lb 14oz. Hot Rod Red is not a colour you see every day. Corona made, through body stringing available, graphite strengthening rods in neck. Good low action, plays very well, slightly scruffy but fully useable Stagg hard case included. Will talk trades but please have a look what others of your type of bass have sold for £650 collected from Wigan. Extra £30 insured courier mainland UK. Sorry, no PAINPal due to being robbed 5 years ago. Any questions or non obligatory trial in Wigan. Appalling photos alert. Cheers, Karl.

Off topic, Powerbas, might be an idea to put your Thunderbird up for sale here. OZZY138, that is a most excellent classic looking P with great mods and Mark's attention to detail. Sorely tempted, bet it's great to play. Good luck and bump.

Lozz in buying Precision Shocker If it sounds as fantastic as this one, you will be a happy bunny. Bump.

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1440681375' post='2852919'] uh oh....... look out folks, Karl's wife will be up for sale next Looks like a good-un George [/quote] Thomas, how very dare you! You know very well that she was sent back last time, under Distance Selling Regulations! Doesn't stop me plotting though

Amazed this is still here. Japanese Fenders are legendary quality, yet Fender Japan currently does not exist. Logic dictates then that they will probably get harder to find with a probable upsurge in price. So, a bloody good bass that is unlikely to depreciate much if an owner needs to move it on? Added to which Mike is an absolute legend to deal with. Somebody is going to get lucky!

As ever with old Precisions, it might really help your sale if you strip it down and take good close ups of neck heel, neck pocket, pots, back of scratch plate, bottom of pick ups. Just trying to be helpful. £1600 is not a huge amount for a bass of this kind BUT it's a lot of money for most folk to find so they will most likely want to be as sure as they can be. GLWTS

Sorry guys, bit of a day. Thanks Mike, received and yours (and all other) pm's finally replied. Sold thank 'ee

Pretty much on hold from last night. These basses very rarely hang around long. Possibly because they have a really good rep.
