Fender American Professional II Precision - Mercury - now £1200 - *SOLD* £1250 Edinburgh

[Ian McFly]

For sale, this great Fender Precision bass, part of the American Professional II series, in Mercury. 
It is in great shape, with only a couple of marks on the body (see photos). I take great care of my instruments and there was no exception with this one. 
 

It’s got an Alder body, with a Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard. 
I replaced the original pickup with a very nicely voiced Delano PC 4 AL (Delano’s take on the vintage Precision pickup, with Alnico V magnets). I will obviously provide the original pickup too if you fancy a swap. 
 

The bass comes with the original hardshell case too. 
 

I’d prefer a local pickup in Edinburgh, or nearby in Scotland, but I can also ship insured for £45 (it’s not cheap, but what is nowadays  ). 
 

No trade thanks!

I have that bass in that colour and it's wonderful.  The neck is exceptional.  GLWTS.

[Ian McFly]

Amazing neck indeed.

I like that colour more than I would have expected to...... nice

Why you parting with it?

Gorgeous looking bass.

I'm inclined to agree with Marc - Lovely Dark fretboard too..

[Sibob]

For a modern Fender, this looks lush!

Really lovely dark fingerboard!

Because I have another Pbass (LB-100) and I need funds for a 5 string. 
 

 

(Why am I even justifying a sale  )

[Ian McFly]

(That’s also why I’m selling the Player Jazz too  )

[Ian McFly]

Ah, Reverb…. Got a guy message me and ask a million questions about the bass, back and forth… I even submit an offer to sell it a tiny bit cheaper to him as he seemed keen and maybe needed some extra motivation. 
 

He decides to go for another colour

 

Bottom line is: Reverb is full of time wasters… and I can be reasonably flexible price wise too. Just ask.

lol good luck getting another colour at that price. I love the Mercury finish

[Ian McFly]

Thanks 

[dmc79]

This has a satin neck finish right? What is the weight please?

[Ian McFly]

Neck is satin. I would NEVER buy a bass with gloss finish

 

Weight is roughly 4.1kgs
