Osiris Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Hi folks, I’m selling this 1983 Japanese made Squier Precision that I recently acquired from my brother in law who had owned it for more than 20 years. It has a JV serial number which according to here [url="http://www.fender.com/en-GB/support/articles/japanese-instruments-product-dating"]http://www.fender.co...-product-dating[/url] was manufactured sometime between 1982 and 1984. This site suggests it was made between March & May 83; [url="http://www.21frets.com/squier_jv/serialnumbersanddates.htm"]http://www.21frets.c...ersanddates.htm[/url] The bass itself has numerous marks, dents, scratches etc on it – my brother in law is an old punk so keeping the bass in pristine condition was never at the top of his priority list! However, all blemishes are purely cosmetic and the bass itself is in good working order. Hey, some people pay hundreds of pounds to get an instrument to look like this – this one has been ‘naturally weathered’! It’s a 2 tone sunburst finish with a tort scratch plate. For some reason an extra hole has been drilled in to the scratch plate between the volume and tone knobs. It carries a maple neck with skunk stripe and a maple finger board. The neck itself is true and plays well. The machine heads are reversed geared, meaning that turning them clockwise tightens the string and vice versa. The pick up has the raised pole pieces that cover the A string. As far as I’m aware, all parts are original and nothing has been replaced at any point. I’m hoping for a straight sale - Is £500 a reasonable price for this roadworn beauty? . I could also possibly be interested in a trade against a small lightweight cab preferably a neo 1 x 12 of some sort. Cheers, Sid.
