2004 Fender American Precision Bass with Upgrades (Fender Pure Vintage 63 Pickup and Hipshot A Style Brass Bridge) - NEW PRICE!!! - *SOLD* £949 Leicestershire

[Eldon Tyrell]

I am selling this beautiful 2004 Fender American Series Precision bass in chrome red. I bought it pretty much a year ago here on BC and the previous owner clearly took good care of it. It is in great condition for an almost 20 years old instrument. There are some scratches (mostly on the back, difficult to photograph but see one photo below for a larger scratch) and a dent (see photo below) but apart from that, it is in really great shape and plays well (no fret buzzing, noisy electronics, neck issues etc.). The bass weighs 4.2kg.

 

I made the following changes/mods (I would call them upgrades but that’s for anyone to decide): I added a Hipshot A Style brass bridge (£90), the Fender Pure Vintage 63 Pbass pickup (£110), a KiOgon P-bass loom with CTS pots (£36), and 2 Fender Potiknobs (£20). I have also just put on some new strings (D’Addario EXL 165, 45-105). Of course, all the original hardware parts that I replaced come with the bass, including the S-1 Switch for series and parallel wiring and two extra pickguards - one from WD (solid black) and one from D’Andrea (3-ply - Black/White/Black).

 

Collection would be recommended but I can also ship it (UK only, sorry!) using the original hard shell case and a decent courier. Shipping would of course add some costs.

Oh boy. I was the previous owner of this, had it for over 6 years. It’s a beauty. Great colour combo and lovely satin urethane neck. I’m so tempted to buy it back, but I need to look after my back so have to stay the right side of 4Kg. When it left me it was in superb condition for the age and I know it has been looked after since & given tasteful upgrades. Buyer of this will be very happy. GLWTS!

How is your Easter? Hope you are having a great time. In case you are still looking for a last minute Easter gift, my lovely Fender P is still available 🙂

 

The great Italian philosopher, Rocky Balboa, once said that "Ain't Nothin' Over 'Til It's Over" but in this case, my Easter sale will be over very soon, in 4 hours actually - 23:59. So, time's running out 😉

C'mon guys, what happening? No interest in a cool MIA Fender with great upgrades? 

I have seen MIJ basses going for more. Maybe you are thinking "the price is too low, there must be something wrong" or "if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true."

Well, there is nothing wrong with the bass but maybe the price is indeed wrong. I have therefore decided to change it to £999. There you go, happy now? 😉

Cannot believe this is still here. What a bass and what a price. Hope it sells soon mate. This will make someone very happy.
