    FS/T CIJ Fender Precision '51 RI, upgraded.

    in Basses For Sale

    Posted · Edited by spaz91



    Tada! A lovely example of a Japanese Fender and why Fender should stop discontinuing their best models! Upgraded with a Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder, an arm contour (which is a god send if you've ever played a slab body, an American Vintage Fender bridge (the kind they put on MIA Fenders) and a set of loverly Thomastik Infeld flats. Also extra gubbins, a pickup cover, a foam mute, a lovely vintagey Fender strap and the original pickup. More pictures and details? Don't hesitate to ask!

    Reason for selling? After 5 years of playing and constantly buying and selling, buying and selling, etc, I have come to the conclusion that Jazz Bass are for me.
    [b]
    Things I am after:[/b]

    Swap for a Road Worn Jazz, 90s MIA Jazz, Reggie Hamilton Jazz, CIJ Jazzes, non-export Aerodyne Jazz, Fender Jaguar bass.

    P/X (cash from me) newer MIA Jazz, Marcus Miller Jazz, maybe a Sandberg Jazz? (Not sure how much they're worth.)

    P/X (cash TO me) 60s Jazz RI, Highway 1 Jazz, Squier VMJ (only the sunburst/maple one).

    I WILL CONSIDER ANY OFFER YOU GIVE ME> :) These are just guidelines of the kind of thing I'd like. The worst I can do is say no!

    4 or 5 strings, either is good for me. I prefer maple necks but rosewood isn't a deal breaker (unless the body is black, call me shallow). I'm fine with a bit of mojo.

    Ta for reading. :)

    FABULOUS:



    And here's a video of me playing it: [url="http://youtu.be/8S8jvIwaQXM"]http://youtu.be/8S8jvIwaQXM[/url]

    Only 2 weeks old, been given a good setup and a fresh pair of GLOWING PINK strings. Sexy. The control plate has been removed as it was black so it didn't really go with the transparentness; I don't have it anymore. Very tonally even will a slight increase in the lower mids. Passive electronics (vol/vol/tone). It weighs 5.6kg. Side effects may include back-combed hair and leather pants.

    I bought this bass for £170 plus shipping and it has since been setup and equipped with some rather expensive strings (£45) [i]soooo[/i] my price is £140

    I'm interested in trading for an acoustic bass.

    These are the pics I asked them to take before I bought it. It's been cleaned and lemon oiled since these pictures were taken:


    And because I could:

    I've considered getting a modelling/digital amp but I have to queries: 1. Is the modelling any good? As in does it sound close to what it's pretending to be? And 2. Does including digital effects in a low price amp mean that they skimp on the other parts?

    I really like the Five Fifteen mini-rig (not the perfect ten) but I've a feeling it might be a little too big. Ideally I'd like to be able to hold my bass case in one hand and the amp in the other.

    Hi there, first real post outside of the marketplace. :)

    I'm going to London to go to Tech Music School this Autumn to I'm minimizing my kit down to one good bass (my CIJ 51 Precision) and a good practice amp so there aren't any logistical problems moving it 240 miles every holiday and hopefully making some money in the process (London is pricey!).

    What I'm after is a small (1x10") practice amp that has a more professional tone than most practice amps, i.e. not the kind of thing that comes in a box with a beginner bass if you get my drift. So far I've been recommended a Hartke A35 (£60 within budget) and an EBS Classic 60 (£40 out of budget) I've still got a while to decide as I'm not buying anything until I've sold my big Ashdown monster (currently in the Marketplace :)) which I am selling for £200, hence the budget, so I'd like to collect as many opinions as possible by then. I would go to try them out but I've no transport and my local shop likes to taunt me with their loverly Markbass and TC Electronic stuff which couldn't be more out of budget!

    So, gentlemen, any recommendations?

    Hi guys! Been posting here for quite a while but almost exclusively in the Marketplace.

    My name is Jon.
    I'm almost 20.
    I have a fetish for Fender and Markbass (yet to own a Markbass, *sadface*.)
    I usually post on another forum, whose name shall not be mentioned, but, while I'm still fond of the regulars, I got rather tired of "Hi is this (picture of pointy bass) bass good? I play mainly metal" posted by someone with far to many Xs in their name, day in day out.
    I can be incredibly opinionated about things I have no understanding of.
    I cannot solder to save my life.
    Despite my love of funk and jazzhop bass lines, I constantly find myself part of metal bands, none of which get to the gigging stage.
    My first inspiration to play bass was Geezer Butler though my current idol is Tim Commerford, particularly his work in Audioslave.
    I am overly fond of using commas and parentheses.

    My current rig consists of a '51 CIJ Precision with TI Flats and (when it finally arrives) a SD Quarter Pounder, a Skylark Plexiglass 5 string with Hidef Pink Neon strings (bling-bling) and a load of amps and pedals that I am trying to unload in order to have a more manageable rig that will fit into the back of a car for when I start a diploma/degree at Tech Music School this October. :)

    So hello. :)
