Now sold.

Now £500 for the vastly upgraded bass, the original parts, a Fender hard case and a Fender gig bag, and UK delivery.

I bought a lovely Squier Classic Vibe '60s Precision Bass as a project bass in July 2021 and have about £1,000 in it. I'm still not entirely convinced I want to part with it because it punches well above its weight but I mostly play 5-string basses now and I'd like to know somebody is getting use out of it.

The Squier Classic Vibe series is known to be a bargain (I have a jazz from the same range too) but I decided to put all the bells and whistles on the P. I set out the specs below but basically everything barring the body has been upgraded by a trusted local luthier that has looked after about 20 basses for me over the years. The original Squier parts will also be provided with the bass.

Specs

Finish: Sunburst
Body: Poplar
Neck: Maple
Fretboard: Laurel (frets dressed by trusted local luthier in July 2022)
Pick-ups: Upgraded to Fender Pure Vintage '63
Bridge: Upgraded to Kickass Bridge Nickel 4
Tuners: Upgraded to Hipshot HB1s
Strap Buttons: Upgraded to Schaller Straplocks
Knobs: Upgraded to Fender American Tele Knobs
Shielding and electronics re-done with materials from Six String Supplies
Case: Will be supplied with Fender American Deluxe Bass Case and Fender gig bag (the Squier usually doesn't come with a bag or case)
Weight 4.4kg on the bathroom scales
Strings: Currently strung with Labella Deep Talking Flats, if I recall correctly

It's been professionally set up by the same luthier that made all of the modifications.

I've looked after the bass so it's in very good condition. I switched to 5 string basses around the time I got this so it's barely been used. The only mark I can find is a small slightly white spot on the headstock (it's so small it's difficult to photograph but I've tried to get it in the last photo).

I’m happy to take further photos and will do my best to answer questions. Collection in central or SE London is preferred (I can knock £20 off) but I can arrange boxing and posting to most UK addresses.
