    Not one of the 1000's of '96 Fender 50th anniversary, this is a 50th Anniversary of the Precision bass model. Less than 500 made, apparently only 200 made it out of the USA, these do not come up often. They sold at about £1500 in 2001. Price is cash, no trades thanks, I won't be taking offers I'm afraid. Weight 8lb 14oz, truly excellent condition. Proper discussion, specs (and some slightly confused folk) on this link. https://www.talkbass.com/threads/fender-50th-anniversary-precision-bass.597217/page-4 Any trial in Wigan, your rig or mine. Courier, you pay & organise BUT UK ONLY, sorry. Thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

    Recently did a trade with Tommy. He was brilliant. I had a family related problem & he kindly came to my mother's whilst I was there. Top bit of kit in great nick & simply really helpful. Top fella, fully recommended.

    Absolute pleasure to deal with Nick, he made it all so easy. It's very obvious he really looks after his gear. Fully recommended, another great ambassador for the Basschat community. Thanks again Nick.

    Pah, Vic Reeves (or Rod Moir as he was known then) used an 18 foot Goodman!

    Hope the move is working out well Phil. Great bloke to deal with peeps. I also have one of these excellent basses. Quite light for Ash, surprisingly back of the neck is not sticky, mine is certainly a great bass to play. My only criticism is no maple board available.

    On hold thanks

    Fender Jazz or Precision hard case. A few scuffs but pretty good condition. Can't find this model but I know they were at least £120. The "I've packed up gigging " clear out continues. £50 collected from Wigan, cheers, Karl.

    Hmm, I know I shouldn't, but if my Orange cabs go I may well be in touch. I had a white one same as this but jazz dimension neck. Fabulous sound!

    Variations on a theme? Cracking rig you have there Cat, I went with the 112x 2

    Steve has just bought a bass from me. From initial contact to saying goodbye at Wetherby Services, absolute star. Decisive, sensible did what he said he'd do, when he said he'd do it. Complete gent & fully recommended. Enjoy the bass Steve & thanks for everything, Cheers, Karl.

    Thanks for the interest folks, all PM's replied. On hold (since about 6pm).

    Pretty much immaculate as far as I can see. I have ended up (long story) with an Elite & a Deluxe, both white, one has to go. This is the one with the compound neck (C through to D profile) and compound radius fretboard, 9.5 inch low end to 14 inch dusty end. Weight 9lb 5oz Doesn't look like White is available this year (Fender Catalogue) Sorry, no trades & certainly no offers at this price. Bank transfer, cash on collection or cleared cheque thanks, no PAINPal. Collection from Wigan much preferred however if you wish to book/pay for an insured courier (UK only) just let me know day of collection. Feedback linked below. Cheers, Karl.

    Bank account primed & ready. Advert written for Epifani & Orange OBC112's Aluminium is just powder coating, often been tempted to get one sand blasted & coated in my preferred colour. A lot of people do that with fishing seatboxes .

    @AndyTravis great spot fella. 30 watts (valve or no), are no use to me. If that had been a RM 500 with 4 ohm cab they would already have my money. PLEASE Andy, if you see any more like this, that are practical for gigging, keep us all in the loop. Well done Ashdown & Andy!

    For a week or two yup. Andy on right, Rod Young middle, myself on left. Not a Tbird in sight. Bought a Gibbo in '96, hideous neck, skinny but deep, lasted a fortnight. Now Explorers, gigged an '84 for 17 years

    Is that with Andy Webb on drums?
  18. karlfer
    Sadly nothing of the Warwick persuasion

    Oh dear God, party in my pants ❤️

    Yeah, but bear in mind it's simulation, not the real thing. Pushing the gain with the "vintage" button in gives that bit of grit. The Rick certainly had a bit of his Lemmyness going on. Unnecessarily

    Wanted to try these out as I liked the look of the features. First gig last night, wonderful little fella. Usual bass/mid/treble plus a mid cut & a "Vintage" button that is simulating Fender Bassman. Mute, gain & a great big volume rotary on the front. Easy to find on dark stages & I needed it to turn down last night. DI level on back. Singer sound dood very happy! Best I've had sayeth he! Enough power to say the least, the floor was bumping! Gain 10 o'clock, vol 11 o'clock. First set with Mex P/J, vintage button on, rest of dials around noon, fabulous, from nice & smooth on Smiths & Bad Company, to chainsaw on Kaiser Chiefs. All done through tone & vol controls on a passive Mex. Second set, rick 4004C11, flats, vintage off, mid cut off. Dear God, blew me away, from Steppenwolf to Tenpole Tudor to AC/DC, just great tones wherever I went on the rotaries (Rick electrics changed to pan, push pull vol parallel/series, push pull tone/mid cut). And boy did I have to turn the Rick down, compared to the Fender. 1st number of 2nd set was American Idiot, little bit of "dirt" on it. One guitarist turned round, big mouth followed by . Cracking amp, has everything I need & little I don't. Very happy bunny.

    Gorgeous. I have a bass up for sale elsewhere, if it goes I'll be straight on the M6. GLWTS

    A bass I DIDN'T mean to win on FEEBay. Paid £151 for it, drove to collect it. Since getting it, it's been cleaned, new strings, NOS replacement tuner, full set up, markers on the fretboard (can peel off, no residue will be left) & a daft Geddy symbol. Plays very nicely, good nick for a 20+ year old bass. White scratchplate comes with it. ONLY issue I haven't sorted is the tone pot doesn't seem to do much. £5 job if you can solder, £20 with local luthier. I've spent enough time & money on something I didn't mean to buy. NO GIG BAG OR CASE (case in photos for illustrative purposes only). Feedback linked below. COLLECTION ONLY FROM WIGAN sorry. Please, let's not complicate this (unlike on Facebook). It's £200 collection only. No trades, no variation on £200 collected.
