The Bass Doc Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 1983 Fender Precision - black with maple. Be warned this one has man-size string spacing. Price £650.00. [attachment=32513:DCFC0054.JPG] Tokai lined fretless - sorry not the Jazz bass but an 'original series' one. Has volume, treble and bass but on a passive circuit (ideal for adding actives). The centre control has a push-pull facility to switch from dual to single coil. Asking £160.00. [attachment=32514:DCFC0058.JPG] USA Charvel believed late 70s/early 80s - very red - basically a Precision with a pointy headstock. Bargain at £150.00.

Hutton Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I have an 83 Precision which is a tremendous bass. Fullerton made. Lighter weight after the heavy late seventies. What more could a precision fan want? At £650 this is a great bargain for somebody. All the best with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Graeme[/quote] OK - the Charvel is in very good nick for it's age - small ding on the edge close to the jack socket - no real buckle rash and hardly any wear on the frets. I would include a basic gig bag and try to find a carton for it's journey but suggest going halfers on the cost of carriage. Let me know if you want to take things further. Cheers, H.

cd_david Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi Howard The action on the Precision looks almost parallel. What are dimensions at the nut and bridge? Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bass Doc Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi Dave, The neck width at the nut measures 45mm - equivalent to 1 3/4" as per pre-CBS specs. The string to string measurement at the bridge is a whopping 21mm ( could be reduced if the bridge was changed to a 70s repro one). Cheers, H.
