Fender Lyte Precision Bass. MIJ £700 DERBY

[revaj]

 

Lightweight and quite rare Fender Japan Precision Lyte Active bass guitar! It’s probably the lightest bass you’ve ever tried! Standard 34” scale length. 7.5lb (3.5kg)!

It’s sunburst. Unusually, the coating isn’t cracked and peeling though there are a few age related dings. It has a high-mass bridges for superb sustain and stability, active electronics with 2-band EQ and Blender and beautifully voiced PJ pickups for a huge palette of sounds. 9v battery for the active circuit.

 

The neck is really slim and fast--- much more like a Jazz bass than a standard P bass: 38mm. 22 frets so it’s a full 3 octaves (normal P or Jazz bass has 20 frets, so only goes up to Eb)

 

Serial number: K013970, which indicates it was made in 1993-1994. Excellent condition for its age.

The neck heel has the MicroTilt adjuster, the hardware is all gold.
 

It’s been well set up, with the intonation set correctly and a lovely smooth action. The neck has been treated with lemon oil so it’s clean and fresh.
