Very poor advert on Gumtree. I spoke to him last week told him to put it on here. I guess he thought I was a scammer. Not sure if it's against the rules but it would be great if one of ours got it. It's got a few little chips around the rear strap button area but £600 including hard case is a lot less than the last 2 I've seen. It would have been me but for the 500 mile 9 hour + round trip. If anybody gets it, please let us know 🙂 https://www.gumtree.com/p/guitar-instrument/fender-precision-bass/1419212782

Black mirror for me Nick 🙂

As with many bass related things then, it's just an opinion. I asked simply because I have a 21 Indonesia CV 50's P. It is extremely good imo & perfectly capable of any gig I'm likely to do. I certainly don't feel the need to spend more on an earlier version because it was made in China, same as I wouldn't be as ridiculous to buy an overpriced over hyped JV. But that's also just an opinion.

How are they empirically better?

Might also be an idea to state your rough location, Basschat has local Fender experts all over 🙂 You may be able to take it to someone near to you to assess it.

Forgot about this, anyway done & gigged with , makes an already superb bass that bit better. Cheers all, really appreciated.

@Bassassin had the greatest ever, Radioactive Snot Glo, Vorg Rick copy if I remember correctly.

Perfect chaps, that covers it all. Now, to get round to it 😆 Many thanks guys.

I've not sanded the back of a neck before but can I really do that much damage to a 2008/9 Road Worn Jazz? Anyway, I saw a video that recommended applying lemon oil after sanding. Being a lazy git, I have a little bottle of Fender fretboard refresher which smells a bit lemony. Would it be ok to use that? Thanks in anticipation 🙂

Congrats Matt, gorgeous.

Buggered if I can hear any difference when it's being banged through 500 watts of Orange 😁.

I have worked for Amazon for 15 weeks as a "warehouse grunt". I am leaving on Friday. Reasons. I have enforced 6 day weeks for the rest of the year from next week, including Sundays. I asked for the Sundays to be changed to Mondays (Sat night gigs). They wouldn't change them. If I'm on the north side, it's up to 8 minutes each way to the outside vaping/smoking station. So 16 minutes walking out of the only break (30 minutes) between 6.40am/2.55pm. The main reason though, is other staff and weak management. Girl on station next to me last Friday did 1.5 hours work & spent the rest of the day in her phone either calls, texting or social media. All of which is classed as gross misconduct. 7 managers walked past her through the course of the day. Not one pulled her up. At the end of my shift I asked one why. Response was "I'm too busy". This is the seventh time I've been next to somebody who has done this. They go home with the same pay. They are defrauding Amazon & making a mockery of my hard work. That's the main reason I'm leaving. I'm very lucky, I WANT to work, I don't HAVE to work. They aren't too bad to work for, they pay quite well, they aren't the perfect employer.
