karlfer Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Bought 8 weeks ago, never used as I immediately took off the original parchment scratchplate, sent if off to get the brown tortie one done. The brown tortie turned up YESTERDAY . There is a lot of info regarding these on the net. Supposedly only 150 for Europe. Links below are just a small example. P/J pups, active, jazz 70's style neck, Precision body.

There is something rather special on here that I am after so I am prepared to take a big hit on this. Bear in mind it will be second hand but unused. £520 collected from Wigan, £540 couriered, bank transfer or cleared cheque. UK only, no PAINPal sorry. Comes with gig bag, original scratchplate and documents. It will only be for sale as long as the special thing I have my eye on. Just hope it doesn't all go horribly wrong with timing . As ever, any questions, and if you are close enough, more than welcome to come round and try it, cheers, Karl. (and now, my pathetic photos )[attachment=114974:DSCF0028.JPG][attachment=114975:DSCF0029.JPG][attachment=114976:DSCF0030.JPG][attachment=114977:DSCF0031.JPG][attachment=114978:DSCF0032.JPG][attachment=114979:DSCF0033.JPG][attachment=114980:DSCF0034.JPG] The picture of the back of the headstock looks like it's chipped, it's not, just light or my camera skills. The bass is unmarked. Edited August 6, 2012 by karlfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 That is amazing Karl, I just love it - but am buying another 77 Precision this week so can`t afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushbo Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 That is gorgeous. If I can find someone to part with £375 for my Mexi Jazz with Bartolinis and a Badass, I'd love this. I get the feeling that it ain't gonna be around that long tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Well I didn't see this coming. I love my one. Its so different ( for a Fender anyway ) but sounds so good If you want to see one with the original scratchplate then click on the link at the top of my sig. this is my one.

karlfer Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the comments folks. Not at all jealous of ANOTHER 77 Precision Lozz Delberthot had the good grace to point out in a PM that Thomann are doing these at £625, but obviously without the £50 custom brown tortie plate. So, it's just a bit more than £100 saving, not including the extra plate, against their price. I don't think that's bad really considering all I've done is test it 8 weeks ago and set it up this afternoon. Cheers, Karl Edited August 5, 2012 by karlfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Cheers Tom, hope you get to try the one Sounds Live have in Newcastle. At least doing it that way, you will know if you like the feel/ sound of them (bet mine is set up better though ). Karl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Got to play one of these recently and was really surprised at just how great it sounded. Played easy as well! A real change to see Fender thinking a little outside the box. Best of luck with the sale, lovely bass guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Like it Karl. That is one gorgeous bass. Holiday end of the month so saving the pennies. Good luck with the sale Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatboter Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Probably wasn't your intention but thanks for pointing me out to this instrument.. Didn't plan on buying a Fender again but I was so drawn by its looks that I checked the video and loved the sound and the possibilities. I'm going to buy one over here in Belgium, thanks !

[/quote] Ahhh, share the love . Actually got round to trying this last night before it went and I was surprised at it's power and tonal flexibilty. Thanks to everybody for their kind comments but it looks like the one I'm after may not be happening. Wifezilla overheard the "R" word and hit the roof when I got back. Taking out the anger and expletives, the rather one sided conversation went sort of "what's the point of ANOTHER Rickenbacker, you will only sell it in a month".
