Fender Precision Bass with Kent Armstrong Humbucker

Recommended Posts

This bass has a great sound, and it's made even better by the Kent Armstrong humbucker added in the bridge.

The finish can be described as a metallic blue, but it can look slightly green in some lights. Not seen another one like it.
Has a rosewood fretboard, and a red 3 ply torty scratchplate.

The controls have been modded to suit the pickup config. It has a master volume, a blend, a master tone, and a coil select switch for the humbucker. The blend knob and coil switch provide a huge range of tones, and is a good alternative to a standard PJ setup, but it can of course provide the classic p bass sound when needed.

Serial is MZ3 so its around 2003-2004 and is MIM.

Ahh really? do you have any info on what colour it is then? I've never seen one like it before.

Did i buy it off of you on ebay? or was that someone else?

Seeing as the postage will be about 20 quid i would meet you half way and go for 250 posted?

EDIT: I would let it go for 240 posted, but a local shop is offering 220 for it, so that would work out pretty much the same minus the hassle of shipping.

No worries mate - I've got far too many basses as it is! I believe it was called Daphne Blue and was a common colour for MIM's. I was always amazed at the power of the original P split pickup in this bass. You didn't buy it off me - I traded it to basschatter AlfieNoakes for far too less than I should have done. Good luck with the sale - she's a beautiful player!

Ahh right thanks for that. Yeah the p pup is really strong, with a nice low mid grunt. When i got the bass it had really quite bad fret buzz, but i've sorted that now and every note rings out clearly.

I feel harsh asking for 250 posted now so if you change your mind you can have it for 240 posted.
