Junkyard relic 51 Precision - *SOLD* £530 Bristol

[grahamd]

Up for sale is my Junkyard relic 51 Precision build.

Available whilst something has caught my eye, but may be withdrawn as its a beaut, and has the vibe in buckets

Spec is below, but this is such a great bass. Came to me defretted, but I had the frets redone professionally with medium jumbos by Stephen Hawker in Bristol.

He also set it up beautifully with D'Addario chrome flats and generally fettled everything, so it plays like butter with a medium low action.

The neck is sanded and varnished, and is super smooth

The neck pickup delivers classic punchy vintage tones, the bridge is a tad thin sounding in comparison, but together they give a roaring tone!

Given its uniqueness and what it owes me IM asking £550 posted in gig bag in the UK, £530 collected from Bristol

SPEC

Alder 2 piece body in vintage sunburst painted over in nitro olympic white just topped with vintage amber tint nitro

Canadian maple neck with matching fingerboard 
Wilkinson MWBP Alnico pickup and Wilkinson piezo bridge (with one in each saddle)
Wilkinson tall vintage tuners , black scratchplate and thumbrest

250k pots with orange drop capacitor
