Macko1968 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 (edited) SOLD - Thanks for the interest. Offered for sale is my neglected Fender CIJ Precision bass that I bought from Guybrush Threepwood. Since re-aquiring my Stingray from Rastaman this has been criminally ignored so I'm moving it on. Lovely 3 piece ash body (although it looks like 1 piece due to the excellent grain match), a very unusual quarter-sawn maple neck (never seen this outside of CS models) 1.6 inches at the nut, CTS pots, switchcraft jack, orange drop cap, cloth/wax wiring. Sounds like a P bass should & Guybrush has set it up superbly, impossibly low action but no buzzing, just slapped a new set of Chromes on her too. There are a few dings on the bass, evidence it has earned its living, but the natural finish means these are not that obvious, note that I have removed the Hipshot bridge & replaced it with the original Fender unit. I've owned dozens of P basses & this is in the top 3 in terms of looks, feel & sound. [b]I paid £575 for it but it needs to go so it's a straight £500 + shipping.[/b] [attachment=76976:DSC00831.jpg] [attachment=76977:DSC00832.JPG] [attachment=76978:DSC00836.JPG] [attachment=76984:DSC00840.jpg] [attachment=76983:DSC00839.jpg] [attachment=76982:DSC00833.jpg] [attachment=76981:DSC00838.jpg] [attachment=76980:DSC00835.JPG] [attachment=76979:DSC00834.jpg] Edited May 1, 2011 by Macko1968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macko1968 Posted April 9, 2011 Author Share Posted April 9, 2011 Hi Pete 1.6 inches, much nearer a Jazz than a Precision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Thanks, that's what I thought. This should be another big selling point for you, judging by the number of people I see who don't like Precisions because the neck is too clunky for them.
