NBD - Fender Mod Shop Precision

[P-T-P]

Ordered 1 May, delivered 25 July - so a little over the 10 weeks stated. No updates during that time (even after phoning customer service number provided on confirmation, UK-based, useless had no info beyond it will arrive at some point). Eventually emailed the address supplied on the confirmation and got through to very helpful team (Amsterdam-based I think) who explained they ship these to Europe in batches, so the bass was made but waiting at the dock. Sent me a £100 gig bag by way of apology. Bass and gig bag ended up arriving on the same day.

 

Was she worth it? Very...

Alder Body in Shell Pink
Roasted Maple 1963 C Neck
American Vintage II PJ 60/66 Pick-ups
Mint Green Pickguard
 

Fit and finish are all really decent and it weighs about 8.5 lbs. Set-up was decent, way-better than other stock Fenders I've had from new.

All-in-all, I'm a very happy boy.

Very nice, unusual neck grain?

Yeah, think the roasting process just brought out the figuring a lot.
