But truth of it is i'm not picking it up to play it. I think its mostly because i haven't "gelled" with the neck. I've played my Streamer for so long, that feels like the norm now, and anything else is just cumbersome to me. My custom build from Andy is a direct copy of my Streamer, so no issues there. Everything else about the bass is superb. I love the way it looks, but as most of my gear, i am aware it is possibly a bit "Marmite". Hopefully if you're still reading this, you like a bit of Marmite! This bass sounds just as a Passive Precision should. Nice, even, round & warm low tones. All the way through to rasping and gnarly. It is brilliant "in the mix". Can suit most kinds of music really. Couple of people recently played it at the South Wales Bass Bash so hopefully they can comment on what they thought of it here too. It cost me just shy of £950 just over a month ago, because of the extras, i will include the receipt in the sale/trade. [b]I'm looking for £800 and that will be delivered to your door in a hard case[/b]. I am open to trades, but will need to know the thickness and depth of the proposed trade (sorry to be a pain). No more than 5 strings either. Cash can be added either way for the right bass. I'm located in South Wales, and as ever you're welcome to come and try the bass out through your rig or mine. Any questions feel free to ask. I know I will inevitably be asked to weigh it, so will try to find a way to do that when i get in from work later.

I'll keep trying, but until then i can only say, it isnt a bass you pickup and think "God damn that's heavy" I know....i'll get a accurate weight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Found a set of digital food scales that weigh up to 5kg. Good news is the bass doesn't weigh more than that!! It weighs 4.2kg or even more accurately 4232g! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v8bass Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Had the pleasure of giving this a go a couple of weeks back Really eye-catching colour and plays beautifully As a die hard non fender player it's made me think again Feels perfect looks perfect and maybe More Purple than the pics show and the neck is ,well , sublime , worn in and feels natural Took me a few minutes to find where to play , bridge cover , pickup cover and thumb rest but well worth it , a good tonal variation via the finger position and the pickup/volume/tone controls Really tempting Kert's a top chap too Gary V8 (Pondering what to do ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted August 5, 2016 Author Share Posted August 5, 2016 (edited) Cheers Gary. Appreciate the comments. It definitely is more purple, but i cant seem to capture that in the photos! Edited August 5, 2016 by FuNkShUi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
