phil147 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) The time has come to sell what I thought I'd be holding onto for a fair while yet. I have for sale my American-Made 1987 '62 Reissue Precision Bass. I've owned him since 2012 when I traded him with 7enderhead for a Ric. Forgive me copying across the details about him from the original Ad but it says everything that needs to be said about him. "The serial number is V023852, and the neck date is '1-6-87'. The white Nitro finish has aged into what in German would be called 'horse tooth yellow'. This nice colour is somewhat hard to photograph, but the picture gallery should give you an idea since it contains photos taken under different lighting conditions. Also included is an 'ashtray' pickup cover and the slightly battered (only on the outside) but fully functional (even the key works on the locks) tweed case. The bass has some minor issues, all concerning the finish, the biggest of which is to be found at the back of the headstock where the previous owner (or one of them damned music stores from the Eighties) obviously put a sticker which ate into the finish. The only reason I would want to let go of this instrument is that the neck measures 44 millimeters at the nut (so it's 'wide but shallow'), and - sporting very small hands - I find the change from my other basses somewhat disorienting." The bass no-longer has the East pre-amp as it installed in another bass but is otherwise as I received it. Never gigged by myself and kept in the case when not in use. These basses don't come up very often from what I can tell and I can see why. I'm only selling due to necessity otherwise I'd keep him until we grew old together (both being born in the same month of the same year) Please feel free to message me with any questions or (Very near) offers.
