karlfer Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) AMERICAN Special Precision, 2014, now discontinued, as are the Standard. Differences to US STANDARD. Standard pup rather than custom shop. Standard tuners rather than the fancy lightweight ones. Standard bridge rather than high mass through body. No hard case. Light at 8lb 2oz. These have the Greasebucket tone circuit which has made irregular appearances since the late 80's. Very good condition. Comes with tortie plate, plus original white plate, supplied tools plus a DOUBLE gig bag. Any trial in Wigan, feedback linked below. i would prefer trade and a meet up. Many thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

karlfer Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the bump Mark. All PM's replied, thanks folks. Yes, this model does have the "new slim neck profile", it's actually a little shallower from front to back than the American Standard. It also has the posiflex graphite neck support.

Thunderpaws Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Very good luck selling this. Same as mine, the neck is brilliant. Where did you get the scratch plate from and roughly how much? Have been thinking of one for mine. Good luck again. Bargain for someone considering current new prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted April 14, 2017 Author Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) All PM'S and questions have now been replied to. A LOT of trade offers, none of them original spec Fender Road Worn.

rayjames Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I have one of these - it's a great instrument - very underrated. The neck is very shallow, probably the easiest Precision neck around. And it packs quite a punch in terms of sound. I hope to get the Jazz version at some stage, but only because I'm struggling with a wide fingerboard due to my advanced years ... Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the basses required offered in trade, but 3 lovely "others" offered. And I'm weak, so................ Of course, it is available for sale as well , cheers, Karl.

[/quote] The Candy Apple Red was the same model, but earlier, from 2011. Went in December. I withdrew it from here, this was my last comment on the closed sale thread; "3 buyers gone awol. 14 basses offered in trade (no RW Jazzes ). 3 cabs offered that I didn't want. Just easier to keep it." Ironically, it went the same night before I could withdraw it from FB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I must inform you Sunburst is not illegal. It can't be, I've ended up with 5 of the buggers If this one doesn't go this week, it will be the Sting up next. I'm suffering from Sunburst blindness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
