This is a 1997-98 American Precision Deluxe finished in Shoreline Gold with a white pearl scratchplate. It has a fender deluxe bridge fitted (rather than the black badass III in the piccies) don't have the original bridge) and it looks the dogs nuts. It's just had a set up done at Trad Music here in Wakefield

It's the version with a humbucker in the bridge position and has a master volume, pan pot for pups, and 3 band EQ. Runs off a single 9v battery (some later models were 18v)

Comes with original case,(covered in stickers) but very usable.

It's in very good condition with only a couple of minor blemishes. One is a couple of minor marks near the side jack socket. The other is a slight difference in shade on the rear of the body where the previous owner had fitted a clear adhesive film to prevent buckle rash.

I'm based in Wakefield, West Yorkshire and am happy to meet up within a resonable distance (say 1.5 hours max). Otherwise we can sort a courier but i'd prefer a face to face deal if possible

Am asking £645 which is well under the price of recent sales of these on here.

Piccies are here:

These are lovely instruments and to my mind with that additional pup, much more versatile than the usual p/j varieties.

I love mine, had it from new and don't intend to sell it.

Good luck with your sale, I think it's a lot of bass for that money.

I'd prefer a sale Andy but I wouldn't rule out a trade. Your Ibby's look nice enough. I guess in these hard times, it's still early days for my ad

IIRC the original bridge was a 3 hole as well so it required no additional drilling

That's good news at least :)

I think they're questioning whether the holes still line up for the string through?

Yep - the string holes line up fine. I've been experimenting with through body and through bridge. I've also found I've had to move some strings over a saddle slot to get them lined up with the rear pickup pole pieces. Can't help thinking a single P pickup is a lot simpler :)

And whilst we're at it, if anyone is mulling this over, - some serious GAS (for a bass on here) means I will take a lower offer on this.

Prices are falling through the floor on here at the mo matey! There seems to be either a distinct lack of cash or an uncharacteristic lack of willingness to part with it in order to buy excellent gear at reasonable prices!
