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.

Get into Newcastle and try one Tom. Only thing is, this being one of the earlier ones it's quite light. Reputedly after the first runs they put on a little weight. On hold thanks. If it doesn't happen I will get back in touch folks. Many thanks to all.

You'd need to be quick Mr. ubit, one or two are closing in

Cheers Mr. Valdemar, splendid bass indeed and reluctant sale, but I just can't miss the chance I've been given. Had a couple of clever dickies on FB have a pop at the price "for a Mex". I know we don't talk price, but it's out at the same or a bit less than the last couple of RW's have been out at, and it does include a hard case. When I sell something to fund the next "I've always wanted one of them" I always try to put it at a price fair to buyer AND seller. They are over £1100 new now, with a gigbag, and used ones rarely hang around more than a few days. I will miss it, but watch out for a NBD next week .

It was Rich, and I'm gutted to sell it, but the one I've been offered, I had never even seen one until last night. This is the only one of my basses I should be able to find a used replacement for. Sometimes a grumpy old git's gotta do what a grumpy old git's gotta do

Morning all. I thought I had all the basses I would ever need, none to be sold. WRONG AGAIN I have the chance of something rare and special. This is the only bass I have much chance of replacing second hand, so sacrifice it I must! I hope 4candles won't mind me using his original advert (linked). I THINK, if you double click over the photos, it opens up on Photobucket, and you can zoom them there. Well, it does for me. These are currently costing £1100 new, with gigbag.

It's relatively light at just under 9lbs. I'm including a tatty but usable Hiscox hard case at no extra cost. There is a feedback link at bottom of this post. I would obviously prefer to meet up (free of charge) between say Penrith, Leeds and Brum. However insured courier delivery, mainland UK, will be an extra £30. Sorry, but no PAINPal. Sorry, but no trades. Any questions, or trial in Wigan.

Had a rattle of this tonight, fabulous bass and bloke. However Ash; I know where you live. I know what you have
