Price is £725, I typed it wrong above and can't change it!

Here's my fantastic Fender P - wonderful bass but I'm putting it up for sale or trade for several reasons. I've put it up for sale before and have withdrawn it, but it's time now :(

Reasons - Firstly, my hands aren't as good as they used to be (a very sore point, literally) so a slim neck width is the way forward, and secondly, I find myself favouring bridge pickups these days.

[b]Currently leaning towards a straight sale, but could be tempted by trades, try me :)[/b]

This is in great condition, purchased new by me in 2011. I think. It has the 60th anniversary plate on, but the serial dates it to 2010.

It is starting to age slightly and has a little paint sinkage because it has the thin lacquer, but I can't see any dings. A few tiny 1-2mm cracks in the finish only at the neck pocket (I'll try and get good photos ASAP but it's barely noticeable).

Neck and frets are excellent. Has a thin shim because I like the action super low (it's at 1.2mm currently) but this probably isn't needed for most folks to be honest.

Strung with Chromes 40-100 custom light, they're broken in nicely and probably don't need changing for years ;)

Comes with OHSC (the nice molded one with TSA approved latches) and adjustment tools. The pickguard was tort but has been swapped out for black, but it's a genuine Fender replacement. And it has Dunlop dual design strap buttons on

Edit to add weight - 8.4lbs.

I'm in sunny Gloucester, and can drive to meet within reasonable distance. I'd prefer to do any deal through a meet rather than post.

Price reduced to £700 - willing to consider offers.

I've also taken some better photos.

What's all this about bridge pickups?! Heresy! ;)

I know! I always thought I was a Precision girl through and through but I find myself really enjoying the clarity of the bridge pickup. Plus the neck, although slim for a P, is a killer for my knackered hands.

Thanks, I know :) it's my faybret.

If it weren't for the great big neck on it... I used to find it verrrrry comfortable but my wrist doesn't like it any more. Getting old!

I love the look of that - my favourite Precision colour combination, and I really want to try one of these post 2008 Fenders as I think the neck would suit me really well (based on what I've read), and I find myself pretty much using just the P pickup on bass these days.

Added to that, I think what I have would suit you perfectly - a Lakland Skyline Duck Dunn which has a jazz neck and is slim by jazz standards and has been pro-modded to add a matched Lindy Fralin jazz pickup at the bridge to make it P/J.

However, Gloucester is just too far to travel for me.........I appreciate in retrospect this post helps no-one, lol

I've never tried one, but I've read that they're as thin, if not thinner, than Soundgears. What would you say?
[/quote] They are seriously slim. I has one for a while, got cramp in my fretting hand after about ten minutes of playing. But I do like a chunky neck as you know. If you fancy a J, the Geddy Lee might be the one for you.
