Zenitram Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/precision-bass-body-blue-/230921615345?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item35c40037f1 This is reasonably local, and I thought I might offer 20 quid for it, as something to sand down. The blurb says it's quite light -- I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Any thoughts either way, you folk who know about things, and stuff?

throwoff Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I would guess Encore just on the shade of blue, looks just like one of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenitram Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 So... worth 20 quid or so? I don't know about these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumple Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Depends if the neck pocket is a standard Fender size? if it is then it would be easy to find a neck to fit it but a pain if it's an odd size and you need to get a bespoke neck made.

Zenitram Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 That's a good point! I just made an offer of 15 quid, and if it gets rejected or ignored I'll just leave it be. I was reading somewhere that in the old days (whenever that was) Encore made basses with the exact dimensions and specs as Fenders... though that could be phooey, this might be an Encore from a different period, it might not be an Encore, it could be made of balsa wood, blah blah. Thanks people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Depends what you want to do with it. I doubt it will be an exact fit for a Fender neck, but if you find an Encore neck it could fit. or you could have a go at it with some powertools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Carter Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 If you're after a body, I have a black P body sitting somewhere in the garage. It's from a no name, but I can dig it out and measure the neck pocket if you are after one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenitram Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks, I'll let you know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zenitram Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Seller not impressed with offer of £15. Unsurprisingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave D Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 That body has been listed before, I'm certain. Maybe he's got a stash! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I could sell you an as new Westfield precison with the film still on the scratchplate for £70 delivered. Can't believe that an unloaded, unknown body sold for £33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
