Clarky Posted September 26 Posted September 26 (edited) Bought a couple of months ago from BC stalwart @Sibob, this is absurdly cool (hope it's OK to pinch your advert pic, Si?). However, despite being much lighter than your average late 70s P at 8.87 pounds, its unfortunately still not light enough for my damaged back and neck (back story: horse riding accident, 18 cracked ribs front and back in 2023). Carrying it to and from a 2 hour rehearsal last week resulted in significant pain over the next 24 hours and this made the decision for me. So its collect from a public space in Barnes SW13 or delivery at cost. Asking what I paid, £2200, which I think was a fair price. More details and pics in Si's advert below. It's in the same condition and comes with a padded Fender gig bag. https://www.basschat.co.uk/topic/514522-1978-precision-olympic-white-maple-lightweight-sold/ Edited yesterday at 14:04 by Clarky 20 Quote

Clarky Posted October 4 Author Posted October 4 (edited) Withdrawing this after playing it at home today. Won't be my main gigging bass (except for short sets, possibly) but its lovely to play at home (and will be great for recording, when that next happens). Edited October 4 by Clarky Quote
Clarky Posted October 18 Author Posted October 18 (edited) Reopening this as I have had a bad few days with my neck and I really should replace this beauty with a bass that weighs 8 pounds or preferably less. Also adding a few photos taken today. Happy to entertain very near offers on my price of £2200 inc. delivery. No trades, sorry Edited October 18 by Clarky 4 Quote
Orbs Posted October 18 Posted October 18 From my previous dealings with him, Clarky is a great guy to deal with and 100% trustworthy! 1 Quote
Clarky Posted October 20 Author Posted October 20 This is now up FS on eBay but I would much rather it stayed in the BC community. Its a beautiful, chock-full-of-mojo, vintage rock monster and - for most people - comes in at a good weight. The work SiBob had done on the neck means it has lovely low action and plays slickly (he said, avoiding mention of a popular dairy product). Would £2100 tempt anyone here? Quote
Inga Posted October 20 Posted October 20 can't believe this hasn't sold yet that maple fretboard is blinding, surely 2100 will tempt someone 1 Quote
chrisgriff Posted October 21 Posted October 21 If I wasn’t putting my house up for sale, I’d be all over this, you might not want to wait that long! 1 Quote
Clarky Posted Thursday at 07:23 Author Posted Thursday at 07:23 Final drop to £2,000 collected, UK postage on top (c.£20 at a guess). Quote
