For sale only: Fender Custom Shop Sean Hurley '61 Precision (2019), £2750

This is my second Fender Custom Shop Sean Hurley signature ’61 precision - I had sold my first one (in charcoal frost) to the mighty @Old Man Riva , who had prophetically wondered if I was sure - as I would miss it! Indeed Mick was right, and so when this one appeared secondhand at Bass Direct I snapped it up.

 

Specs and condition

It has a  slab rosewood board, 1.75” nut width,  7.25” radius. Weight is 3.98kg. Full specs in the 'floorwalker' photo below.

 

Relic-ing is on the back of the neck only, meaning it’s beautifully smooth and fast. The nitro finish on the body has some level faint ‘crackle’ lines but is otherwise un-reliced. Strangely when it arrived from Bass Direct the rocker mute was on the wrong way around (!), which has left a faint mark I’ve tried to capture in the photo - not noticeable unless you look closely. The rocker mute is a nice feature to toggle between muted/unmuted quickly, and is adjustable in terms of pressure applied to the strings. Personally I’ve left it ‘firmly on mute’ recently as I’ve been practicing Jamerson lines. I love the playability with the stock La Bella light flats, and it pairs beautifully with my Noble pre.

 

Case has a couple of scuffs (see pics), but otherwise in excellent condition with keys and case candy including unworn Fender strap.

 

A splendid bass, but having picked up a gorgeous Marleaux sixer for solo playing, and not gigging, it must make way! And yes, I will miss it :)

 

Courier delivery (UK only) @£15, or come and test in Kent (approx, 20 min from J5 M25, near to Tonbridge/Maidstone).

 

Payment by BACS or PayPal (buyer pays fees)

Some demos of this general model - they sound very simlar to mine (except the playing!)

 

A nice 'unmuted test':
