I owned a Custom Shop Masterbuilt Bass for a short time before I moved it on. I was so disappointed in the instrument and I am a Fender fan. Don't get me wrong it was a nice bass but in my opinion the quality of workmanship was no better than the excellent American Standard offering. However, there is a significant difference in price between the two. The CS bass just didn't do it for me. I have come to the conclusion that the Custom Shop is over-hyped. The only advantage I can see is getting a bass the exact way you want it. However, in saying that I have just purchased a Jazz Bass which has been put together by a guitar builder in this country from Fender parts. The quality is superb and all at a fraction of the cost of a CS instrument. If I was wanting another bass built to my spec I certainly won't be paying CS prices.

I am quite frankly amazed that this bass is still here at this price. If I didn't already have three precisions I would be adding this one to my arsenal. Surely, people aren't waiting for further price reductions. There comes a point where it's just unfair to expect a bass of this quality and condition to cost any less. If this bass was being offered by a guitar store it would cost a good bit more. -

Tubes now successfully replaced. In case anyone wants to know what the bowels of a Walkabout Scout amp look like then feast your eyes thus:-

Imagine spending £250 on a set of strings and then finding that one breaks when you restring because they are so old. Or even worse, you make make a mistake cutting them to length and find they are too short. What a load of bollocks!

Panic over. It's amazing what a bit of power can do!

I was trying to remove the screws from the side of the amp as well. The metal that covers the top also bends round the sides to the bottom of the amp. Is this the same with your amp?

I am going to be changing the tubes in my Walkabout Scout. I removed the amp from the cab and am currently trying to remove the screws from the sides of the amp so that I can access the innards. A couple of the screws just won't budge. Any tips anyone?

Are you willing to courier this bass? Does it come with a case?

Thanks for all the kind comments folks! -
Many apologies folks but I'm going to have to withdraw this bass from the for sale forum. It took me a long time to consider selling this bass as I have had it for a while now. However, when I actually saw it in the for sale thread it made me feel that I was missing it already. It really is a superb bass so I'm going to hold on to it. If money gets too tight I might put it up for sale at some future date. Sorry!

I have for sale my Fender USA Standard Precision from 1984. The Bass is all-original apart from a sprague orange drop capacitor being fitted. The original capacitor is included. The bass is almost unmarked apart from a very small mark in the lacquer on the top horn which I have tried to photograph next to a one pence coin. This mark has been on the bass since I got it about 7 years ago and has not got any worse. The condition is superb considering this is a 32 year old bass.The bass will come in a non-original Fender G&G Deluxe Brown Tolex Case. The bass is currently strung with Thomastik Flatwounds. I had to think twice about putting this bass up for sale as I have grown rather fond of it but I have one too many precisions so a choice had to be made. The asking price of £900 includes delivery to the UK.

Ok. Let me put it another way. If someone wants to come and try out the bass where are you based presuming you have an earthbound location?
-
It's going to be a bit difficult for a buyer to pick up the bass from you!

Fender Jazz American Traditional – help with components please?
Hutton replied to Shylock's topic in Bass Guitars
[quote name='Truckstop' timestamp='1458711110' post='3010021'] It's interesting reading these replies because the only reason I'd buy one is because of the all-in-one scratch plate. Looks much more interesting than the usual chrome control plate and ages it definitively. Be wary of all those dudes that modded their 60's Precisions in the 70's and 80's and they ended up of the scrap heap. If you want a traditional looking jazz, then trade it for one. Why bother modding it when, in it's original state, it'll become more sought after in the future. [/quote] Couldn't agree more! -

If you see that lad again please advise him not to try it if he's ever up in Glasgow!
