*SOLD* Fender Road Worn Precision (Fiesta Red) £700

[JoeS]

I'll almost certainly regret this, but here goes...

I only bought this from Discreet about nine months ago, but as good a bass as it is - and it is very, very good - I'm not really playing Precisions at the moment and finding it increasingly difficult to justify having two of them. This is the more valuable of the pair, so I'm letting my head rule my heart and putting it up for sale.

Plenty has been said about the sound and feel of the Road Worn series and this bass absolutely lives up to the hype - it's comfortably the best sounding and feeling Precision I've ever laid my hands on, and streets ahead of the American Standard P I offloaded last year.

It's in very good nick (yes, it looks beaten up - the clue is in the name) but does have a couple of non-standard features: at some point in its life it has been fitted with pickup and bridge covers, so the holes for those are visible in the pickguard and body; it also used to be fitted with a set of straplocks, the screws for which were slightly bigger than standard and I never got around to replacing the originals or glueing a bit of toothpick in the holes so the strap buttons do rattle around a bit (if this a deal-breaker then I'll have a bash at sorting it). The bass is currently fitted with a nicely broken-in set of La Bella 760FS flatwounds.

I would prefer a straight sale, but could also be tempted by a trade for a nice Jazz from the usual suspects - particularly a Road Worn or Flea Signature.

Unfortunately I don't have a case or gig bag to post this in, so collection from Haywards Heath, West Sussex would be preferable. Alternatively, I'm happy to deliver/meet up within a reasonable distance.
