Price or Trade Value : £400 delivered

Here we have a lovely Made in Japan Fender 57 Reissue Precision made in around 1993 / 1994 finished in 2 tone sunburst.

I'l be 100% honest, I bought this bass 2 months ago from Ashwood1985 - as an experiment to see if I could get on with the thicker deeper neck and if I could also live with a "meat and potatoes" P bass.

Sadly I can't get along wth the thicker neck ( I'm a jazz bass man really)

This is a mighty good bass though.... really authentic vintage woody P bass tones - not sure what the stock pickups are on here but they are pounding!

There are the usual minor dinks in the paintwork as you can see in the pics but nothing major at all and pretty good nick I'd say for a 1993 model.

The head's finish has lifted slightly as you can see. I have kept a very close eye on this and it's static (not getting worse) - Martin's opinion at The Bass Gallery assured the previous owner it wouldn't do so. Secondly, the lacquer on the body has some hairline cracking. Not the wood of the wood joins. This is where the bass's wood must have expanded due to a sudden temperature change at some point and resettled. Again, the guys at bass gallery have assured us its fine. It's the kind of thing I never notice when playing it, holding it or looking at it but I want to give all the details to you.

Someone will pick up a real bargain. I paid £500 for this bass 2 months ago but I now need cash quickly so will let this beauty go for £400 delivered safely packaged sitting in a gig bag!

Same here. This was mine and is an absolute steal at £400

If it happened to have US printed on it instead of Japan it'd fly at double the price. Top P with classic thumpy tone.

i only sold this for the cash and i would honest to God buy it back if I had the spare moolah.
