Linus27 Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 (edited) Hi, I am selling my Fender Precision 1953 Re-Issue. The bass is in mint condition, never gigged and in a kind of butterscotch colour. I have owned the bass for 4 months and I am the second owner. The first owner bought it brand new but never played it as bass was not his cup of tea. He kept it stored in a hard case for a year and then sold it to me in December 2007. The reason I am selling is I will never really use it. I wanted a bass as a back up to my main bass for a gig I have in August. When looking for one I came across the Squire Vintage Modified Fretless Jazz bass that I fell in love with. I did not buy it as I did not want a fretless at the time as I had never played one so I ended up buying this Fender Precision 1953 Re-Issue. Little did I know that my wife for Xmas surprised me and bought me the Squire Fretless. Since then, all I use is the Squire Fretless which I will use as my back up bass. I really do not want to sell the Fender Precision 1953 Re-Issue but I'm really not going to use it and I sooner it go to somebody who will use it. The bass is in mint condition apart from a tiny mark on the headstock which I have included a picture of. The bass is as if it has come straight from the shop as the last owner never used it and I have only played it a few times at home. The sound is a big, fat, punchy deep sound, typical to the 1950's Telecaster bass that this is based on. I paid £340 for it back in December 2007 so I would like to get no less than £300 plus post and packaging. Buyer can collect or I am willing to meet if not to far away from Surrey. I have included some pictures along with the Fender picture to help show the colour of the bass. If anyone wants anymore picture or has any more questions then please ask.
