Edenburgh Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Back up for sale as the planned trade didn't work out. ***Price dropped to £900*** i'm really fortunate to have this as my Number 2 P-Bass and I broke my own 'one in-one out' policy for this one. Nevertheless, I don't need two really good P-basses (my '77 Precision remains the 'go-to' bass)[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]This is a 2013 US made 1957 Vintage Re-Issue Precision Bass, Ash body, the grain of which is visible through the gorgeous nitro white blonde finish. Even though the maple neck is chunky, it is really comfortable to play for long periods of time - it's also really lightweight making for reduced back strain on longer gigs (unlike my '77!). Sounds-wise, it does everything you would expect of a P-Bass. Build quality is truly top-notch.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I've gigged this quite a bit, so although it looks pristine from the front, it has picked up the odd dings round the edges as shown in the pictures. I can include either a battered old case or a newish gig bag (buyers preference). Currently strung with round wounds however, as a wee extra, I will also include a (used, but still quite fresh) set of Thomastik Infeld flats. Original hang tags and a Fender strap also included. Thanks for looking and any questions, just shout. I'm Edinburgh based but happy to meet up central belt.[/font][/color] [color=#1D2129][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm open to trades/swaps on this one - probably a Jazz (doesn't have to be Fender).[/font][/color] Edited August 4, 2016 by Edenburgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edenburgh Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 Thanks for PMs so far. To answer a couple of queries - Raised pole pieces on the pickup at the A string, threaded barrel saddles. (Bump) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 In my humble opinion, these are the very best of the varying 50's style basses. Don't know about CS but they would need to be very special to be better than one of these. I've had a couple and they have both been excellent but I just really don't get on with 1.75 " nuts. Having said that, these are quite shallow back to front so for me have been the easiest of the full fat nut for me to play. Usually very light with superb pick up. These Ash, White Blonde/maple are just the best looking GLWTS, great basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROBBIE Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Having just purchased one....The sound and feel of the neck is spot on..although mine has the Fralin pick up...I would like to try one with the original raised pole pick up for comparison.

Edenburgh Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Price dropped to £980 to be more in line with similar models I have seen for sale here and recognise that there isn't a tweed case with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
