£325 collected from Bristol. Sale only - not interested in any trades.

I can post within the UK for £20.

This is a great Precision bitsa in beautiful vintage white, with (removable) pickup & bridge chrome covers and tug bar completing the old school look. With its flatwounds strings, I've been enjoying playing Motown on it - but a Precision suits most musical styles.

Body

The body is from a 2013 Fender Squier Matt Freeman Precision.

Colour: Vintage White
Body Material: Basswood
Hardware: Chrome
Bridge: 4-Saddle HiMass Bridge with Brass Saddles
Misc: Knurled Chrome Dome Control Knobs, Tug Bar.

The original electronics developed an intermittent crackle, so they have been removed and a KiOgon loom was installed this week. This has a solderless pickup connection, so it's very easy if you did want to experiment with other pickups. Having said that, the stock pickups sound great to me and I never felt the need to change them.

The bridge and pickup covers were imported from America (due to the HiMass bridge being a slightly different size to a standard Fender bridge). The tort pickguard is a replacement; I don't have the the original black one.

There is a small scratch by the G-string side of the bridge. There are some paint imperfections near the neck join. The chrome pickup cover has some wear on it - only visible from some angles.

Neck
The neck is from a 2021 Fender Squier Classic Vibe 60s Precision Bass.

Neck Material: Maple
Neck Finish: Tinted Gloss Urethane
Neck Shape: "C" Shape
Scale Length: 34" (86.36 cm)
Fingerboard Material: Indian Laurel

The tuners are the stock ones; however there are alternate screw holes underneath where third-party tuners were previously installed.

Misc

The neck join is ok but not air-tight (this is cosmetic).

Strung with new Adagio flats.

Weight on digital kitchen scales: 3.975kg (8lb 12oz) without the chrome covers.
