Price dropped to £450

Hi all

Continuing a bit of a clear out. Next up is this lovely Silver Series Squier PJ from the fujigen plant in the early 90s. Only selling as I have two of them.

This one has had a Bartolini bridge pickup fitted, the jack socket has been moved to the side and a blend pot added. The controls are in the order vol/tone/blend. It’s also been fully shielded with gold foil. All work professionally by Gary Chandler Honor in Denmark Street. If you aren’t familiar Gary used to work with Stairway to Kevin and more recently worked as tech on ABBA Voyage amongst other gigs. The bridge has been replaced with a relicd Gotoh slotted saddle one, I might still have the original if you want it included.
There are general age related dents and dings but nothing major. Any big circular marks in the photos are just light reflections. Also worth noting, the nut has a slight gap under it on one side. This doesn’t affect action or playability at all (and could be easily changed if you wished) but wanted to mention for transparency.

pics below, any questions give me a shout.

Pickup from Chessington or central London, shipping also possible.

Thanks

Dan

Nice bass, but I could do without the bland pot. My playing is boring enough as it is! 

 

I've had a few Silver Series Stratocasters in the past and there's something about them that has been better than any more recent Squier I've tried. These were made in the early 90s in the last few years of Japanese production. Some nice modifications on this one too. 

 

Good luck with the sale.

Good spot, will amend the post! 
 

Yup, made on the same line as the Fender Japan basses as I understand it

Can't believe it's still here...

After a couple of people mentioned a preference I've had this bass switched to Volume, Volume, Tone controls. The new loom is fully CTS pots. Thanks
