Deedee Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Fender American Elite Precision I took this bass in a trade with @karlfer a few months back but Iām on a bit of a mission to clear out kit that isnāt getting much use so Iām moving it on. Itās a great bass with a fabulous neck with its flatter radius as it nears the dusty end. Switchable active and passive with a wide range of tones from the rather impressive P and J pickups. In the brief time Iāve had it Iāve fitted a black/white/black plate from WD which to my eyes looks far, far better than the original pearl plate (obviously also included). I've included a couple of Karl's pics showing the bass with it's original plate and also the case candy (hope you don't mind fella)!

I am now able to ship to GB only at buyers cost. Please do not be offended but due to some previous less than perfect encounters, shipping is only offered to BC'ers with existing feedback threads.

Deedee Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 Due to previously interested parties being disproportionately hit by a withdrawal of gas, this beauty is still available folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterT Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Just returned from having a looksee at this bass and it is exactly as shown in the pics, plays beautifully and has all the tones - but sadly not for me. Almost still bought it due to price - it's that nice. Thank you for letting me come to view, a true gent. Bargain - GLWTS. Ā 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
