@BOMBADEL I am a bit intrigued by your bass. Antigua is a kind of love it or hate it finish, but they didn’t do many of them, and they do have their avid collectors, albeit usually in as good a condition as possible. I think yours is a cool looking bass. It needs a proper looking at to reassure any potential buyers, including me. I can see you’re in Barrow, and I can actually see across to Barrow as I type this. If you’re ever around the other side of the bay, let me know.

I used to gig in Barrow reasonably often too, with various bands. Barrow Blues Club with The Stumble, the old Duke of Edinburgh (pre refurb) with AC/DO, and post refurb with my own trio, downstairs in the cellar.

Hi mate thanks for the interest but it’s sold now.

Were you in Optimus Prime? I remember seeing an Antigua 70's P bass in Barrow back when I was a spotty teenager 🙂

Yeah I was lol, what’s your name ? That’s well remembered

It’s a bit difficult to value without knowing what is and what isn’t original, most people buying will ask for the normal information and pictures, which is pickup dates, pot dates and wiring etc, maybe get someone to do this for you if you’re not comfortable doing it 

Ok thanks for the info, I’ll take it to the local music shop to check it over, I’m happy taking the screws out, it’s just the risk of cracking the paint work further

Hi thanks for the feedback, would anyone have a rough valuation? I tried to look at the electronics and took the screws out but the cover is not easy to take off and I don’t want to damage it. The neck is straight

Welcome Matthew, cool bass 

Cheers, apparently some are a lot heavier than others, which I wasn’t aware of.

Fender precision, 1978, rare colour of Antigua green (I have been told that this is a rare colour). I used to gig with this about 15 years ago but it has seen little use since. Recently tried it with a mini amp and it worked fine, nice sound.

Weighs roughly 5 kg. Has some non original parts such as the back plate. Currently on eBay but if anyone is interested I can take it off for a sale and send via dpd.
