Fender Squier Mini Precision with Upgrades + Gibson Gig Bag. £250 North Staffordshire

[dodgnofski]

My ‘Mini Marvel’ well sorted travel, backup, beginner,student, holiday or just noodling on the sofa Bass. I really wanted a Rob Allen Mouse, but unfortunately the ‘in house accountant’ didn’t agree.

 

This is a hand picked Fender Squier Mini P Bass in Dakota red with  a lovely flame maple neck (please see specs) Listed below are the upgrades  to improve what was already a lovely mini Bass & is in virtually mint condition…….

 

Levelled the frets.

 

Fitted replacement Tonerider ‘The Duke’ pickups - big fat sound.

 

Replaced the pick guard with a lovely celluloid Tort jobbie.

 

Standard loom replaced with a Fab KiOgen solderless kit.

 

Fitted La Bella Black Nylon Tape Wound short scale strings.

 

Fingerboard has been treated with Fender Custom Shop oil.

 

Added a used Gibson Canadian Levy’s thickly padded Gig Bag, which has a bit of wear at the top - please see pics, but still does its job.

 

The result of my tinkering is a ridiculously easy to play big fat sounding, lightweight Mini Bass which can be played all day long with a very low action all the way up the neck & the look on your band mates faces when you produce a Strat sized Bass from the Gig Bag & plug it in is priceless.

 

Weight is just 2.7kg, or 5.95lns in ‘old money’ - so ideal for long Gigs or young and old players alike.

 

Postage to the U.K. Mainland only - sorry, at cost price of £22.45 including insurance.
