Precision bass - amazing bitsa £400 Bristol

[Burns-bass]

I’ve started 2026 as I do most years, by trying to cut back on stuff I don’t use.

 

This is my Precision bitsa. The body is a 70s Precision body I bought from @briansbrew

 

It’s a 70s body that has many of the features of a Fender bass but it wasn’t sold to me as such and I can’t confirm it is. So let’s assume it’s not.

 

Build includes:

 

Classic Vibe neck

Fender hi-mass bridge

Kiogon loom

Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders (new)

 

The only sticking point is the weight. It’s heavy. Approaching 4.8kg (70s p bass style!)

 

The whole bass plays and sounds amazing. I’m looking for £400 which reflects the cost to build it. If it doesn’t sell I’ll part it out, or keep it. 
 

I appreciate bitsa basses are marmite and many of you don’t like them. I didn’t too until I built this one.

 

You’re welcome to come and give it a try!
