A project bass which I have decided to part out and move on.

The donor body (alder) was from a Fender 2005 60th Anniversary MIM Electron Blue Precision Bass. A beautiful colour which I have done my best to photograph.

The body with pickguard and bridge weighs 5 lb 9 1/4 oz (2.52kg) on my kitchen scales. It's not in pristine condition - there are one or two fine scratches - I have done my best to capture these.

I modified it considerably in the course of my project -- creation of a new rear pickup cavity which can be used to house Precision pickups in either normal or flipped configuration, shielding of the cavities. Also drilled out a series/parallel switch hole on the pickguard. The rear cavity can also accept a Musicman pickup, I tried that out too. I fashioned a rear pickup cavity cover out of pickguard material which has been spraypainted as near a colour as I can make it to Electron Blue and then clear coated. It's not perfect by any means but looks good enough.

I guarantee the buyer this body is unique, I have never seen one like it for sale, otherwise I would not have had to make my own, lol.

I have photographed it extensively.

I'll price it very reasonably at £150 posted in the UK. Open to offers!
