Fender Precision Thinline PBAC £750 Harrow

[Happy Jack]

So here's a game I play roughly once a year. I list a whole bunch of basses for sale (really not wanting to sell any of them you understand) and once a couple have actually sold 😩 I let the remaining listings slide down below the radar. Until the next time.

 

I'm not selling because I'm desperate for the money, and if I was John Entwistle then I'd just keep the lot and have an ever-expanding collection, but the reality is that over half my basses get played very little, if at all. Common sense says that at least some of these lovely instruments should get back out in circulation.

 

I have no interest at all in trades. Replacing a bass that doesn't get played with a different bass that won't get played seems like a complete waste of time and effort.

 

On the other hand, many of my basses are pretty non-standard or left-field and therefore hard to price, so I'm not absolutely wedded to the figure stated.

 

I'm in Harrow HA1, close to Sudbury Hill on the Piccadilly Line, and I gig regularly throughout Beds, Bucks, Herts & Middx, with occasional forays into Surrey. Pickup in person is always preferable to despatch (from home, or a mutually-convenient pub, or at one one of my gigs), but I've had nothing but good experiences with DPD so if you live more than - say - 50 miles from Harrow then that's an option.

 

 

Great bass for a country band, but I haven't played country since Covid.

 

 

I don't know the year but this bass is at least 30 years old. It looks the way a well-used bass should look and bears no resemblance to anything relic'd.

 

 

OK, so my photography doesn't reach David Bailey heights.

 

 

 

 

The neck is a J-bass type and very playable indeed.

 

 

 

That says "Made in Japan", in case you were wondering.

 

 

 

 

And don't forget the piezo under the bridge.

Absolutely love my fretless version. If I had the spare cash, I'd certainly have this. GLWTS.

I had an FL Thinline, it was a lovely thing 👍

I’ve always wanted one of these - fighting to resist as I’m very much in the same situation with having more stock that I can possibly play!

 

Now if I can find another acoustic gig maybe I can justify it?

Controls are volume, tone and blend. It has a piezo under the bridge and is active, for those that aren't aware.

Thanks Steve - I really should have mentioned that.

I love it.

If I wasn't scratching in the dirt for food these days I'd take it in a heartbeat
