karlfer Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) Due to purchase of a rare Precision, I need to reluctantly move this one on. As per title, 1998 Aqua Marine Metallic Fender American Standard Precision. Lots of battle scars and dinks, including fretboard and side of neck wear. I have feedback which I always want to protect, so for this one I would prefer collected from Wigan. Then you make your decision. A great sounding & playing Precision, one of the best I've played. I've forked out £1200 on two basses in two days, so............................. Weight is 9lb 2ozs, comes with a hideously beaten but functional hard case, plus extra black WD scratchplate. TRADES. NO, NO, NO. Except a Road Worn Jazz, or Flea Courier. I would prefer not to, because it's not exactly pristine and I don't want anybody to be disappointed. If you must have it couriered to you, YOU will need to organise it, pay for courier and just let me know day of collection. UK only, sorry. Any trial in Wigan, thanks for looking, cheers, Karl.

umcoo Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Beautiful. This colour always sticks in my head as there was an aqua marine metallic P bass in an old copy of Guitarist that I used to lust over, back in the late 90's. Great looking bass, GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) That is very Steve Harris-like, Karl. GLWTS, I wish I were in the market for another decent P-Bass as that looks great, however doing the common sense thing that seldom occurs.

karlfer Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks umcoo & Tom. Lozz, I toyed with the idea of getting a claret mirror plate (MK 1 'Arry) or a brushed steel plate (MK 2 'Arry) as this bass is lighter and a slightly narrower neck than the Japanese Harris signature basses. Also seems to be a bit cheaper than the Japanese ones are going out at Never got round to it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freebird Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 That's the first blue bass I've actually liked, it comes together nicely with the pickguard and maple neck. Very stylish and a pleasant departure from the usual White/Black/3TSB bass thing. GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Thank 'ee chaps. Staggeringly little interest in this wonderful gigging machine Still, I guess you can get a new Mex Lake Placid Blue for £100 less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxyFuze Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Well if the sound is comparable to the '98 USA model in this video, I'm very interested. And as you know, I'm not fussed about dings and scratches :-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgzD3vcrExE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 5 gigs in the next 9 days, may re-visit finances after that (ie sod it, I may well keep it ) Sold. Edited July 15, 2017 by karlfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
