Fender 2012 Am Std Precision W/W/RW *Traded* £750

[niceguyhomer]

Bought this new 6 months ago and it's as new and unmarked, it has the Custom Shop pick ups. It comes in the super duper Fender case which is also immaculate. I've replaced the tort pickguard with a nice parchment jobby made by our own Bass Doc but I'll chuck the original tort one in at the asking price. I've also replaced the straplocks with the excellent Loxx ones - you can have the originals too. Why am I selling, truth is it's too old skool for me and too far away tonally from my hi-fi Clover to act as a back up bass. I'd trade for a nice Jazz, Ray, Sterling or similar but whatever it is, it must by in excellent condition. Prefer 4 strings but 5 is ok too - cash adjustment either way. I don't want to ship so will drive a fair distance to meet or deliver. Sorry about the formatting, there's something odd going on with posts.

Seemingly pointless bump

[Telebass]

Alien acosutic? Straight swap? And I will be coming to Manchester in the near future!

Lovely looking bass. Pardon my ignorance but what's the difference between an American Special and an American Standard?

Hi, I have a 2008 American Standard Jazz Bass in Blizzard Pearl, bought new this year, rarely played, perfect condition, hard shell case, case candy, would definitely be interested in straight swap for this, mine is also [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/214028-as-new-fender-american-standard-jazz-bass-price-drop/"]currently for sale[/url] for £750.

[Telebass]

No worries, NGH!
Difference between AmStd and AmSp:
No through-body stringing.
Satin finished neck with cheaper tuners, although it is the same graphite supported neck.
Cheaper pickups.
The neck profile is also slightly flatter front to back.
No fancy case.

[FinnDave]

The American special is a cheaper (and feels it) version of American standards, I played both before buying my Am Standard Jazz.

I disagree. I thought my USA Special was loverly and It was compared to standards along with many other models.


Have a bump for a cool looking bass

Let me know if there is anything more you'd like to know about the bass. It is in 100% perfect showroom condition, not a scratch. Prepared to meet half way if interested in the swap.

I have a MusicMan Sterling for sale, if you're interested I'd be open to a trade. I'm a bit far away (~4 hours), but could take a trip to Manchester to see my Dad one weekend.

Thanks for the offers fellas - trade pending.

The Precision is now happy in its new home. I have to say that it looks even bettter in the flesh (wood?) than in the pictures, it is a lovely creamy vintage white. I plan to play at least one with it at our gig tonight.
