FENDER PRECISION LYTE, IMMACULATE CONDITION WITH MAPLE BOARD BY JON SHUKER. - *SOLD* £699 Guisborough

[tom1946]

Hi again folks,

this time I'm selling my Fender Lyte P/J bass.

This has had a quality maple board made and fitted by Jon Shuker, in case you aren't aware these only came with rosewood fingerboards so this is quite unique. It was done as my eyesight isn't very good and I can see maple better.

It's black with a greyish pho flame finish which is in excellent condition.

Also the P pickup has been changed to a Seymour Duncan SPB-1 which is much better than the weak stock item, also John (KiOgon) made a passive loom for it and it sounds so much better.

I think I still have the stock items if you really want them. Comes with a very good gigbag. Weight I think is 7.2 lbs

So here is an opportunity to own a very rare bass.

The price includes postage to UK.

Absolutely lovely and 22 frets.  I don't think I've seen one in better condition.

Any idea on year of original manufacture? And made in Japan? Can’t quite read the headstock in the photo!

All the Lyte basses were manufactured in Japan. I’d say this one would be around 93/94 era, as the 

photo flame finishes were introduced just before they changed to chrome hardware and plain headstocks

in 95. 

Nice bass Tom, GLWTS.

Thanks Pete, yes I believe it is 93-94 vintage. Thanks for the lovely comments guys.

That looks great with the gold hardware / maple board combo

Just need a buyer...

Would consider trades for a 32" scale bass with maple board

I had one of these when they were first released, before I blundered into the twilight word of fivers and couldn't find my way out again. Cracking basses, and that maple board looks lovely. GLWTS.
