Howdy howdy all

 

Picked this up as it was an unusual one, and I've had a fascination with dual Precision pickup basses, including building my own.

 

Unfortunately I need cash for another hare-brained project, so it's time to trim the herd down a bit, and this was the most recent acquisition.

 

It is the ballsiest sounding passive bass I have ever heard. There's just no other way to put it. It has a huge low end and a lot of grind. The tone knob tames it though, if needed. 

 

Alder body, maple neck, rosewood board, 9.5" radius, high mass bridge. Weight is 4.45kg on my kitchen scales. 

 

One tuner replaced with Hipshot tuner HB7 as there was a detuner installed by previous owner (and the original tuner was long gone). You can still see the old outline. Plus it once wore a pick holder on back of the headstock. Otherwise it's stock.

 

Tons of wear, dings, scratches, you name it, mainly on the body, few dings on neck. Doesn't matter to me, it feels and looks great. It has polished up well and takes a nice low action with minimal relief. It's a nice neck and has decent frets with plenty of life. Truss rod works as it should. 

 

They seem pretty rare. It's a nice bass. I'm looking for £550 + shipping. Open to offers.
