Fender Squier Sonic Precision Bass Ti Flats + Upgrades & Ordo Softshell Rigid Lightweight Case inc. postage to the U.K. Mainland £250 North Staffordshire

[dodgnofski]

A wonderfully lightweight Precision Bass with a straight neck, fully functioning Truss Rod, uprated Seymour ‘Duncan Designed’ Pick ups, professional KiOgen solderless Loom with Bourns Pots, Switchcraft input Jack, Fender Spaghetti Logo  and comes complete with an as new (apart from a small scuff to the piping on one corner, please see next to last pic). Ordo lightweight softshell rigid foam case.

 

In excellent condition with a 50’s style vintage two tone tobacco sunburst.

 

Ti Flats fitted since original pics were taken.

 

This is one of the very few sub 8lbs P basses I’ve encountered during the past half Century, weighing in at a mere 3.4kg - or 7.5lbs in ‘old money’ 

 

It has had a really nice set up - level frets etc. & plays really well with a low action and sounds like a good P Bass should, with more growl than a very growly thing from the Planet Growl partly thanks to the Maple fingerboard, but I suspect mainly due to our own John’s (Kiogen) recommended capacitor on this fabulous Loom.

 

The headstock has had a refin & a spaghetti Fender logo applied to the headstock by a previous owner to a very high standard.

Wow 3.4 Kg incredibly light!

[Marc S]

Is the weight due to a very slim body?

BTW what is the nut width? 

Asking for a friend 😉

I have 30+ basses and they all have maple boards. Love maple, somebody buy this before I do.

Bargin.

Luck of the draw. I bought two of these Sonics with the intention of sending back the heavier one, and they both came in a 8lb 11oz (3.94kg) 🤷‍♂️

Nut width is 1.5” & it feels like a Jazz profile to my old hands.

This is so true. My fave P weighs in at 6.8 lbs plays & sounds Fab, so I thought I would obtain a back up ‘just in case’ - Exactly the same model, same year, loom, pickups, stings  - even the colour & yep you’ve guessed correctly - It was a lot heavier & sounded nothing like the other one🙈🙈!!
