lozbass Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 The Precision really is lovely - not many of these around and the active circuit, although an early one, is excellent (I had one cloned around '83 and put into my Ripper). I had a Precision Special a couple of years ago - excellent condition LPB - but knackered the circuit as I clumsily tried to replace a non-original knob. There's something about the Specials - a serious upgrade with respect to the standard Ps of the time - indeed, I've never played a bad one (not to say they don't exist). I'm tempted... Is this Special entirely stock, and what's the condition like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Love that Fender. I've been gassing for a seventies one, but this soo tempting. Particularly interested if it's not overly heavy. Cheers, Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostromo Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Hi, Whats the condition of the lovely Walnut P close up ? . . . . the photos show it up nicely, but, has if got any body /neck dents of dinks (other than belt rash which is fine) or other damage that is there but not visible on the photo's ? . . . . . . (It sort of looks mint to me on the photo's - but the photos are not really hi-res I guess ?) I've got a telecaster in Black Walnut from the same era (mine is 83 I think ?) . . and they would sure look nice together ! . . My tele is top quality, really well put together, but weighs a ton - is this P particularly heavy ? Finally, could you confirm what letters the serial number starts with ? Cheers and good luck with the sales. Edited October 26, 2009 by Nostromo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd_david Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 All PM's responded to. Sorry for lateness of replies but have been away for a few days and had limited access to internet. This is a complex deal, I need to sell ALL 3 basses to make another deal to happen and im not keen on letting them go by themselves cos i cant afford to make a short fall in cash and im not disciplined enough to save the money . I currently have buyers lined up for both the Vigier and Overwater so if i can move the Walnut i can move on my deal and let them all go.
