[quote name='The GroovyPlucker' timestamp='1492352996' post='3279600'] Thanks Karl, was seriously tempted at the time, just didn't have the reddies, much nicer colour combo as well...... [/quote] Give over man, this is THE classic combo seen on TV's all over the world

[quote name='The GroovyPlucker' timestamp='1492290359' post='3279286'] Did you ever sell the Red one you had, I believe it was the same Bass? [/quote] The Candy Apple Red was the same model, but earlier, from 2011. Went in December. I withdrew it from here, this was my last comment on the closed sale thread; "3 buyers gone awol. 14 basses offered in trade (no RW Jazzes ). 3 cabs offered that I didn't want. Just easier to keep it." Ironically, it went the same night before I could withdraw it from FB

[quote name='rayjames' timestamp='1492206217' post='3278741'] I have one of these - it's a great instrument - very underrated. The neck is very shallow, probably the easiest Precision neck around. And it packs quite a punch in terms of sound. I hope to get the Jazz version at some stage, but only because I'm struggling with a wide fingerboard due to my advanced years ... Good luck [/quote] There's a used American Special Jazz on FEEBay at the moment, £750 BIN. Thanks for all the pm's and offers folks. None of the basses required offered in trade, but 3 lovely "others" offered. And I'm weak, so................ Of course, it is available for sale as well , cheers, Karl.

As Lizzy would say, Still in love with you * * the bass obviously

Did I miss something?

All PM'S and questions have now been replied to. A LOT of trade offers, none of them original spec Fender Road Worn. Mark, way out in front fella, even though it was a curve ball Thanks all.

[quote name='tom1946' timestamp='1492076458' post='3277664'] I wonder if posiflex neck support would work for me.... hmmmm.. might help me back too.

Thanks for the bump Mark. All PM's replied, thanks folks. Yes, this model does have the "new slim neck profile", it's actually a little shallower from front to back than the American Standard. It also has the posiflex graphite neck support.

[quote name='Damonjames' timestamp='1491928183' post='3276574'] MB1 I am after a trade for a very specific amp, if I can't advertise it like this I'll have to take it down. I don't want to be bombarded with trade offers of all kinds! Sorry if I sound snotty, I do t mean to be, just don't know how else to do it? [/quote] Don't think Martin meant you Damon. Somebody probably put an offer on the thread, then it was removed before you saw it. You snotty antipodean (sorry mate ).

AMERICAN Special Precision, 2014, now discontinued, as are the Standard. Differences to US STANDARD. Standard pup rather than custom shop. Standard tuners rather than the fancy lightweight ones. Standard bridge rather than high mass through body. No hard case. Light at 8lb 2oz. These have the Greasebucket tone circuit which has made irregular appearances since the late 80's. Very good condition. Comes with tortie plate, plus original white plate, supplied tools plus a DOUBLE gig bag. Any trial in Wigan, feedback linked below. i would prefer trade and a meet up. Many thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

Mike, you have mail fella. Bump

Ooooooh, we likes this don't we my precioussss There are 5 Flea jazzes up for sale, I was deciding which one to speak to the owner about. Then along comes this. Decisions

That's a '97, they were replaced around 99 by the Fender Precision Bass Special, Deluxe Series. The Cali's are a great model. Good luck, good job you are in a different time zone to Wigan

[quote name='Marc S' timestamp='1490947186' post='3269213'] Must stop looking at this bass.... must stop looking at this bass GAS building! This is a cracker karlfer, a real cracker, and a rare one at that [/quote] Thanks Marc, yes, it is both of those things. Further pm's replied, thanks folks. SOLD Sunday 2nd, thanks folks for all the interest.

I've had a long week, so which Precision would we like it to sound like? Steve Harris? James Jamerson? JJ Burnell? Right sarcasm done . Distance from front of pup casing, E string, to neck. American Special Precision 9.8cms JB75PJ Factory Special Run 7.8cms And yes, it sounds superb with flats. That's what it is currently sporting.

Cheers Tom A bit of work to get to Laureate Jules PM's replied, cheers, Karl.
