Could be nice with some work, barely worth the start price though i think. I think he's put a high buy now, to try and entice buyers into thinking the start price is a bargain. If it plays nice though, could be a good player for someone at £800, worth a gamble though?, not sure, we'll see i guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 "I am only selling it because it sounds great" Sounds like a reason for keeping it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well I love it - if I had a spare £800, well I probably wouldn`t have it anymore! That to me is exactly how I like a Precision - battered beyond belief. I`d do it to mine, but I like genuine wear, not fake, and think that this one has just been badly treated over many years. I`d def give it a home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 also the knobs are replacements and i do not think they used the rubber/plastic gasket beneath the neckplate bank then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dave Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The ingredients for a fine players bass with a bit of vintage mojo at around the start price. Course , I haven't played it - could be a dog for all anyone knows that hasn't done so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
