For sale/trade - Japanese Fender Precision £650 Harrogate

[Nothingman]

I’m reluctantly selling my Japanese fender P bass. 
 

This was purchased from Guitarzilla.co.uk exactly 5 years ago. 

It has been gigged many times (because bases shouldn’t be ornamental 😉) and has a few scuffs as part of its history - one noticeable (details and photos below) others just normal minor belt rash and dings. 
 

The reason I’m looking to move this on is to fund a second jazz bass and I have my eye on a couple on here. 
 

Details, to best of my ability: 

 

Fender Japan Precision Bass, Made in Japan, serial R019581 (serial at heel of neck).

From what I can tell it’s early-2000s (possibly around 2003–2004). I seem to remember purchasing it as a 2004.

 

Spec / details:

 

Black body

Black pickguard fitted + original white guard included

Original Fender Japan pickups (no electronic mods)

Genuine Fender High Mass Bridge fitted by me (clean install)

Professionally set up last year by the sadly defunct super axes in Harrogate. 
 

One small cosmetic dink on the top of the body, approx 1.5-2cm, small belt scuffs on back (hard to photo) otherwise tidy.

 

I have the original white pick guard that will be included. 

Oh, and look how sexy the pattern of the headstock wool is!!! 😍

 

Not sure of weight, and currently don’t have suitable scales. But if I get the chance I will find out and update. 
 

UPDATE - weighed it to best of my abilities. 3.8-3.9kg see below. 

 

Plays great, nice punchy P-bass tone with plenty of bite. A solid rock machine. 
 

I know everyone says stuff like this, but of all the P basses I’ve owned, I think this is my favourite. I’m just more comfortable with a Jazz. 
 

I’m not looking to post this bass, as there is no case, I don’t have a box, and I’m nervy about that stuff.
 

However, happy to arrange tryouts, collections and willing to drive 1 hour from HG to meet up or deliver. 
 

Trade wise I am looking for a 4-string Jazz with maple fret board and block inlays in natural finish.
 

Very specific, I know. But have always wanted that aesthetic since I’ve been in short pants.
 

But sadly that dream never came a reality. 
 

Make that wee boys dream come true. 

 

Priced fairly to sell - no offers. (Other than trades, obviously) 

 

Paypal, bank transfer or cold hard cash accepted. 
 

Any questions, just shout and fire me a DM.

Baking scales say 3.8-3.9kg for the weight. 
 

I don’t know how trusty these scales are, and they certainly can’t handle a full grown bass.
 

But it’s definitely on the lighter side compared to my Jazz which is about 4.3kg.
