FS: Warmoth/Daion Precision £600 Whitstable

[Beedster]

This is a bitsa that came together recently and was up for sale in the rather overlong and complex parts sale. Late 70's/early 80's Daion body with a stunning 3tsb, Warmoth maple cap neck, pictured with a Squier circuit but I'm going to install an EMG Geezer PUP and circuit which will to all intents mean nothing will change looks-wise (EMG is also creme). You might notice there's a couple of screws missing, I'll of course sort those! I'll also include PUP and bridge ashtrays. I'll update with detailed photos later today. Courier or collection from Whitstable are both fine by me 👍

Maple cap neck, you say? 😍

Probably technically a maple slab, but I'll get some detailed pics up later. Either way no skunk stripe 👍

[Beedster]

If you wanted it in it's current config i.e., with Squier PUP/circuit and no ashtrays it's £500 , plus as it's a bitsa I'm happy to split 👍

 

Weighs in at 4.2kgs so a light-middleweight in my book

I'm going to rehearse this bass tomorrow evening so can give some better feedback afterwards, although I'm starting to fall just a little bit in love with it already to be honest, the action goes stupidly low and given the is very smooth and solid it rather feels like I'm playing a Modulus or Status 🤔

[Cosmo Valdemar]

I really am rather fond of this.

Promised pics

Neck is also stunning 👍

Rehearsed it and it was fabulous, even with relatively inexpensive Squier PUPs and circuit  it was everything a Precision should be. Think I've underpriced it 🤔

Love that sunburst finish.  I have a Vintera II p bass and everything about it looks '60's' quthentic other than the burst, this one looks proper

Thanks @Pow_22 it's really rather nice, from a distance it looks quite new but close up it has the sort of wear that you can only get from 45-50 years of playing. Resonates rather nicely also, killer bass with that neck on it 👍
