[color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3]Lovely early 70's Precision, with a classic P growl. Very light (around 8 lbs).

Neck is solid and stable, truss rod works fine.[/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3][color=#11053b]Recently refinished back to Candy Apple Red by Jaydee guitars in Birmingham, replacement Bartolini pickup and electronics, original pick guard cracked in a couple of places which has been replaced with new but original will be included in the sale. Replacement tone knob. Neck is solid and stable, truss rod works fine.[/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3][color=#11053b]A few months ago I purchased this Precision bass guitar, from 'wateroftyne' in a stripped natural state[/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3][color=#11053b]I have shown the guitar when it was sold to me as natural and as it is now.[/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3][color=#222222][url="http://s1355.photobucket.com/user/geoff90guitar/library/Fender%20Precision%20Early%2070s%20Natural?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1355.photobu...l?sort=3&page=1[/url][/color] [/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3][color=#11053b]There was also a clip on the net showing [/color][color=#11053b]'wateroftyne' playing this bass through his Mesa Walkabout and TKS but I can't find it now, perhaps he could oblige?[/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3][color=#11053b]'wateroftyne' [/color][color=#11053b]provided me with a comprehensive description of the guitar which follows: [/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3][color=#11053b]"[/color][i]Here's a couple more clips of it - It's got flatwounds on it, 'cos I like an old-school tone.[/i][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3][indent][i]Heres some more info:[/i][/indent][indent][i]From the look of the cavities, it was originally Candy Apple Red. At some point the neck and body have been stripped and clear-coated. Whoever did it did a good job. The neck stamps are still visible in the neck pocket (T Chambers), but unfortunately the date stamp (if it was there in the first place) has gone from the heel.[/i][/indent][indent][i]It's currently loaded with Bartolinis, which sound big and have lots of growl. If I was keeping the bass, I'd keep 'em in. They sound great.[/i][/indent][indent][i]I'm not sure what is and isn't original in the electronics. Theres an original looking orange cap in there... the pots aren't so I'm assuming the rest isn't.[/i][/indent][indent][i]One tone knob has been replaced - it has squarer shoulders than normal.[/i][/indent][indent][i]The strap buttons have been replaced with Schaller strap locks.[/i][/indent][indent][i]The G-screw and spring on the bridge:[/i][/indent][indent][i]Should be the longer screw, but has been replaced at some point with something newer and standard length, along with the spring. They're both shinier than the others.[/i][/indent][indent][i]The (original) pick guard is cracked in two places. Presumably at the time it was refinned, theres been a little bit of shaping done to straighten up Fenders early-70's wobbly edges around the neck joint. Its just cosmetic though - you can see it on the photo looking down on the neck joint.[/i][/indent][indent][i]The neck is solid and stable, and feels great. The truss works fine. The neck sits a little low in the neck pocket for my liking (I like quite a bit of daylight between the strings and the pickup) so theres a shim in there at the moment."[/i][/indent][/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3]Why do we eventually get a great sound/setup and then later want to change thinking theres something better, and there rarely is. Thats me anyway. Ive had great comments with this bass. I put it through a TC Electronic 450 and a 2x10 TC cab. I occasionally take a second TC 2x10 cab. Again, I think I’ll be moving on this brilliant amplification soon.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3]Original scratch plate, damper and case included.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3]Tele Geoff 01902833173[/size][/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Helvetica][size=3]Please see Photobucket link if Ive got it right.[/size][/font][/color] [url="http://s1355.photobucket.com/user/geoff90guitar/library/?sort=3&page=1"]http://s1355.photobu.../?sort=3&page=1[/url]

As some of you may know, the ohmmeter reads 2/3rds to 3/4 of impedance across the speaker terminals. 4ohm typically measures 2.5 -3 ohms. 8 ohms typ reads about 5-6 ohms. This speaker measures 5.4 ohms, which confirms that it was the original speaker from an 8 ohm Trace 1x15 cab. So the speaker is 8 ohm and what a cracker is. Regards Geoff -
Celestion Model B15-300 . Excellent. No tiredness. Little use. It was from a Trace Elliot 15 cab. A big clear sound. See http://s1355.photobucket.com/user/geoff90guitar/library/Celestion15%20bass%20speaker?page=1 Welcome to pick up from Coseley West Mids or I can send for £10. You won't be disappointed. Geoff
