Seen this? I've played it and it's a stunning instrument. http://basschat.co.uk/topic/290360-fender-55-precision-relic-project/page__pid__3120435#entry3120435

You sure you definitely want to sell it? My first bass was a Yamaha TRB 6, one of the Mk I models. Looking back I'm not sure how I played it, the neck was enormously wide! I toyed with selling it several times, but have kept it for sentimental reasons and am glad I have. Sometimes I get it out again and give myself nostalgic RSI 😁

If it helps the sale, I am happy to contribute a hardcase in exchange for the Mooradian... but it looks like this may be reserved anyway

I don't think the country of manufacture was on the back of the headstock.

The person getting this is not only getting a great bass but is also helping a good cause.

I'd suggest that it would really help your sale to say whether this is for guitar or bass double bag. I have one of each and they're both excellent.

Played this bass at Chris' and it's a fantastic instrument. Balanced, looks the part and fantastic open tone. The person who gets this is going to want to play it a lot...

The sheer irony of you looking for a 57 AVRI! 😂

I'd just like to add that I owned this bass before Timweather's son and traded it with him for a Super J. As far as I am aware it is pretty much a stock V1 other than the pickups being wired for serial rather than parallel output, and also the pickups have had the B-booster magnets added to help balance string output and this has worked quite well. The neck has a lovely satin finish, and when we traded it was in pretty good condition other than a few dinks.

I've got one of these as well as two Canadian Dingwalls - these really are pretty smart for the money.

My MV4 is incredible, the ultimate modern-sounding, classic-looking J-style bass. Someone needs to get this.

Love the liquor dispensers.

Here is mine, it's a Mk I, doesn't look dissimilar: https://instagram.com/p/4g6hvfEeAH/

Is this one of the Mk Is with the B&C speakers?

Do you know the weight?

[quote name='MattM' timestamp='1467236009' post='3082239'] Non nitro lacquer would be a standard polyester or polyurethane lacquer, which are the modern equivalents of nitro-cellulose. This would be the default for most modern instruments. Polyester is harder, glossier than nitrocellulose and is synthetically made, whereas nitrocellulose is naturally derived, and is more compatible with the wood itself, wood being comprised of cellulose-type fibres. Nitrocellulose is also softer and flakes/ages more quickly hence the relic effect, and why most people who try to relic a polyester finish fail, end up stripping it off and applying a nitro finish to relic. The inherent compatibility of nitrocellulose with wood is where you get the 'it lets the wood breathe' thing from. YMMV. Hope this helps. [/quote] So basically the same finish as everything else? Not sure why they would advertise it specifically as lacquer then! Not a put down at all, I love the Fender Japan stuff, just genuinely curious. And somewhat interested...

What exactly is a non-nitro lacquer?

Says you've deleted the photo

I have one of these alongside half a dozen Mono bags. If this was closer to me I would already be PM-ing you...
