donslow Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Hey all, it's with a heavy heart that I'm selling my first precision bass, unfortunately GAS has taken over and I need to raise funds for another purchase This guitar isn't a standard bass, I have built this from parts bought either here or elsewhere on the interweb, the "spec" is as follows * Squier VM precision body that I have stripped back and dyed with American walnut stain (I still have about half a can of the stain left that I will throw in with the sale) * Squier VM Jaguar neck with "cheeky F logo" applied * Bone nut * Aftermarket red tort pick guard (I have an off white one and a black one going spare also) * Fender Original '62 RI Precision Pickups * CTS pots with Switchcraft jack and cloth wiring and (I believe) PIO cap * Gotoh 203 bass bridge * Grover machine heads Currently strung with 45, 65, 85, 105 rotosound flatwounds This guitar, considering home built, is a monster of a bass and plays and sounds fantastic, I have set it up as best as my abilities allow, next to no fretwear at all and a fully working truss rod I MAY be tempted to part this guitar out but ideally, I'd like a deal done / agreed for all parts before doing so Price INCLUDES UK delivery Collection is fine or candeliver for a cost of diesel if your more than 20 miles from Chelmsford, Essex Any questions/queries/offers/more pictures get in touch and I'll do what I can asap [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/59DD5E5C-AF96-4544-B4C2-2BCB9A7F6D69_zpsxqrhwpwl.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/59DD5E5C-AF96-4544-B4C2-2BCB9A7F6D69_zpsxqrhwpwl.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/93A8C850-1EDA-4EA5-A546-8284D5FF7D8D_zpscjape9lf.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/93A8C850-1EDA-4EA5-A546-8284D5FF7D8D_zpscjape9lf.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/2DD94693-E93D-4E1E-9734-ED6F586DB088_zpsvajmmmni.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/2DD94693-E93D-4E1E-9734-ED6F586DB088_zpsvajmmmni.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/EB319362-BB1C-45A2-8BDF-7CDCAB6FD1F8_zpshhsj0xcx.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/EB319362-BB1C-45A2-8BDF-7CDCAB6FD1F8_zpshhsj0xcx.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/063CCD0B-DD45-4843-A8A6-41C4F3749BF3_zpspyhomjax.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/063CCD0B-DD45-4843-A8A6-41C4F3749BF3_zpspyhomjax.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/35F86F64-085F-4F0D-A459-C0AE22CEFEB9_zpsyl3jxole.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/35F86F64-085F-4F0D-A459-C0AE22CEFEB9_zpsyl3jxole.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/donslow/media/1B2375D2-C83F-4BC3-96B4-CCF1554EF8BF_zps7tfdtgzx.jpg.html][IMG]http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah302/donslow/1B2375D2-C83F-4BC3-96B4-CCF1554EF8BF_zps7tfdtgzx.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Edited October 14, 2015 by donslow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started this project build though, look no further than the Elvis Costello jazzmaster for inspiration, wanted mine to look a little more........ratty though, not a fan of shiney new on guitars or basses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
