Marcus Gooda Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Hey guys. Up for grabs is my Fender 62 Reissue Precision Japanese bass. I brought this bass from fellow bass chatter TorVic around six months ago and has served me well ever since. The bass has been upgraded with a new EMG pick-up and also a BasAss II bridge. This adds plenty of punch and sounds great with a pick or with fingers. In fact, throughout owning my fair share of precision basses (MIAs and MIMs) nothing comes close to comfort of playing and versatility in tone. I would use this bass fingerstyle w/mute and the tone I wanted was perfect. It has been my favourite studio bass (and has seen much more recording time than my Warwicks) [i](If you are after the original p/up and bridge I am afraid I don't have them, as they were not supplied when I got this bass)[/i] This bass has never been gigged in my possession. I purchased it for a run of studio sessions and since that is now complete, I no longer in need this wonderful instrument. The only reason I am letting this go is because I have a new job coming up which requires a different, more modern instrument. Ideally, as I'm looking for a bass for a new project I would like to[s] [u]trade only [/u].[/s] [b]Now available for straight sale. [/b]I am after a Jazz of some sort, or a Warwick. I am totally prepared to add some £££ your way for the right bass. I will also entertain cash offers for this. Forum rules dictate I state a price for this. I purchased it for £550 so I would like to get that back if possible ONO. I did a bit of snooping and found some pictures TorVic and the previous owner posted. I hope this is ok to use these images! I can assure you the bass is in tip top condition and can (and probably will when I get the chance..) upload more pictures. I am London based, and I would like to say collection is preferred. I do not drive but can arrange a courier or discuss postage. I hope I've done everything right. This would be my first time selling on here, but please don't be put off by my low post count. I snooped around this forum for months before I joined and am aware (or so I like to think!! ) of the rules. Thanks for looking! Feel free to PM with any other queries Marcus Edited May 30, 2012 by Marcus Gooda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sticker Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Is this a USA reissue? And whereabouts are you for collection ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Gooda Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 This is NOT a USA reissue and is in fact Japanese. I will amend the OP. I thought I mentioned that in my post but after re-reading the wall of text I didn't actually mention it! doh! Although it is tagged. I am living in London, Islington at the moment, so collection can be arranged from mine, or close stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgnofski Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Great build quality on these - even better than some of the USA ones I've tried - which had sharp fret ends?? & wish you were nearer so I could try it - type bump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mckendrick Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Shame you haven't got the original pick-ups and bridge, otherwise, with you being just around the corner, I'd have snapped your hand off for this.
