Lovely lovely bass but not Custom Shop pups. These were a final FSR to run the previous model out before changing to the Custom Shop pups

On hold thanks.

Unlike you Clarky I don't have the life expectancy for patience 😆

The blend dial on these OB1's is a thing of pure sorcery. When I had the 500 it could destroy worlds (yes, exaggerating, but not by much!). Good luck.

Thanks Pete, much appreciated. Brian is aware 🙂

I've done some more research on these. It appears there are 2 other PB70 US for sale in the UK although I'm not sure if they are PB70-70US or PB70-78US. Both are at FenderFever, both out at £1295 + shipping. One of the 2012 export block fretboards (originally £500 new) recently sold on Feebay at £950. In America, one the same as mine sold in Sept 21 for $1000. There is currently one up at $1595. Whilst none of this guarantees a price, with them being officially non export & apparently discontinued, the ravages of VAT, import duties & shipping may make them increasingly difficult to find. I'm leaving this up at this price until Sunday evening (15/1/23). After that, it will be removed & will reappear later this year at a minimum of £1000. Cheers, Karl.

Surprisingly little realistic interest in this splendid bass despite some similarities to the Mexico Nate Mendel. I'll give it another week then put it away for a year or two, cheers, Karl.

Aww shucks Andy, too kind fella. The Bitcoin's in the post 😄

This with an Orange Little Bass Thing would be a destroyer of worlds. Superb cabs.

Thank God for that 😙😁

As ever the "it's only worth £400" crowd are out (admittedly mainly on Faecesbook). This place appears to think differently. https://reverb.com/uk/p/fender-pb-70-precision-bass-reissue-mij

Stunning!

Price is for a cash sale, trade value is higher. Neck on this is very "Nate Mendel", 40mm nut, fast & slim, TV Logo. US pickups, alder body, maple neck, rosewood board, 8lb 14oz. I also have the "tug bar" finger rest from the E side but it got in my way hence removal. Non export model. There are always a few in the UK but VAT, import duty & shipping are getting really prohibitive now. It's a bit Sid (for those of an age). Slight crack to paint (2mm) on body next to neck. Common on basses where the neck needs loosening to adjust truss rod. Usually caused by somebody tightening up a neck screw too much. Not me (although I have been guilty in the past). One chip and a few dimples at the back end of the bass. Please bear in mind 17 years old & it has been gigged. If you search, there are a couple of these for sale, prices between £750 & over £1300. Thanks for looking, Karl

£300 collected Darlington £335 insured delivered mainland UK. As new. I won this in a competition, I was both astonished & delighted. Gigged it last night, I now remember why I don't use compression & semi - parametric mids. The family brain cell couldn't cope. I was a bit gutted because it's lighter & takes up less space than my Orange Bass Terror Mk 11. Back to the OBT Mk 11 tonight The Bass Terror is loud. This is LOUDER. Potentially very loud! No offers thank you, they are £449 new & this is actually as good as new. It will be up for 2 weeks, if it doesn't go, I'll reluctantly sell the OBT & make this work for me. Have a great New Year all.

On hold thanks.

Fender Deluxe Precision Bass Special 2018 active/passive Current model (Player Plus) sells at around £1100. My price is about what some are asking for used Player Series, so this is a BARGAIN. Saving up for (another) Rickenbacker. Superb condition pretty much as new. Very well set up.. Jazz neck profile. 12 inch radius, very fast neck. Contoured neck heel (like American Ultra & Pro 11). Raised poles on Jazz pickup, A & D strings, to follow radius. The sunburst finish is really top quality. The 3 band eq provides a wide range of tones and it can be played in either passive or active modes using the micro switch. Weight is 9lb. Collection from Darlington is much preferred, hence the low price for a bass of this quality. I may do a meet up, Extra £50 for insured mainland UK courier thanks for looking.

Bizarre. People are asking this much for bog standard Player Series & these things are so much more. They are called Deluxe for a reason. I've decided to keep mine as there is no better Fender (imo) available for this kind of money. Especially P body Jazz neck.
