bumnote Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) Back up for sale again 50s classic vibe precision bass in blue. Pic is from the web but the actual bass is as the pics, Ive just looked at this and there is not a mark on it that I can see, no dents or dings. it looks as if it has come straight from the shop Well reviewed and a great bass. Sadly no case, £210 plus shipping at cost. Edited January 26, 2010 by bumnote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philw Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm very interested but can you confirm the nut width please. The only one of these I've played had a neck like a baseball bat. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The published spec says it's nut width is 1.65 so either you have a bendy ruler or they vary a lot. I suspect I won't like 1.67 if I didn't like 1.65. 1.75 on any four string bass is very wide. Are you sure? Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure? Phil[/quote] For the classic vibe I used a vernier so that measurement is accurate. Current us standard precisions are specced at 1.625, but 62 and 57 re issues in US and the mexican classic and road worn are1.75. I have an old us and 2 japanese precisions and they are all around 1.75 but as you say there is going to be a tolerance so they will vary. I personally prefer the wide necks to the narrower ones, but probably because I have had one of mine since 1969 so ive got used to it. It looks like the blue flower one has gone so i think Im going to withdraw this from sale, but thanks for your interest. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
