VIEW FULL LIVE VERSION : FS or Trade: Fender American Deluxe Precision 4 w/ Maple Board SOLD
justinb515 01-20-2007, 07:18 PM THIS BASS IS SOLD. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO SHOWED INTEREST!
Edit: I have run into some money problems with school, so I am willing to let this one go for $695 shipped, including paypal fees. I will still entertain trade offers and money offers, but don't lowball me, I can't afford it.
No joke, this is the best playing bass I have ever put my hands on. The frets must have been dressed perfectly, because the action is LOW with no buzzing or dead spots. This bass is nearly mint, I tried to photograph the few blemishes. The color is inca silver with a white pearloid pickguard. It is perfectly set up with a new (3 days old) set of Ernie Ball slinkys (105s) on it. I am looking for $695 shipped. As far as trades go, I am interested in passive basses with maple boards, though I will consider all other offers as well. No fretless offers please. The bass will ship in a brand new Musicians Friend Tweed Gigbag.

jsbass 01-20-2007, 07:21 PM Damn that action is LOW.
justinb515 01-20-2007, 11:13 PM Yeah, it's low, and it doesn't buzz. Seriously, this is the best neck I've ever seen on a bass. It was like this when I received it, and it was COLD when I got it. It was shipped from up north with no case, and the neck never moved. All I did to get the action that low is to lower the saddles. If this bass doesn't sell at this price, I will probably just keep it since it is such a good one.
Lorenzini 01-21-2007, 02:38 AM you should keep it.
You'll regret it! Because you can ALWAYs take that neck off and put it on another body, but will have a hard time finding a neck like that again.
Capiche?
EDIT: Also because I'm going to want to buy it, and that's dangerous.
justinb515 01-21-2007, 03:33 AM Yeah, I've thought about that. That neck is PERFECT. I've never played a bass with such low buzz-less action, and the basses I've had recently are Warwick, Lakland, Reverend, and Spector, if that tells you anything. I'm really gassing for that Lakland JO Geddy Lee look-alike for sale on here though, although I guess I could buy a Geddy Lee and put that neck on it... somebody buy this before I decide to keep it!!!
king_biscuit 01-21-2007, 08:10 AM Nice bass. That neck will not fit on a Geddy, though, or most any other Fender (or bass for that matter) without major modification. If you put it on a Geddy, for example, which only has twenty frets, you will effectivly increase the scale length, because the deluxe neck is longer. What I'm getting at is that it is a not standard size neck so I would not count on putting it on another body.
justinb515 01-21-2007, 11:06 AM Good point...you know I didn't realize that, but you are right, it is longer than the traditional neck. And it's a good neck, but I think I mentioned that already.
All pm's replied to, bass still available at this point.
jsbass 01-21-2007, 11:18 AM I can get my action really low on mine without buzz, but thats when I play fingerstyle, and I'm mainly a pick player, so when it's that low, I got some major clackin' going on! :D Kind of sounds cool in the mix though if done right.
justinb515 01-21-2007, 10:31 PM I like the click sound, especially in metal. Anyways, all pms replied to, bass still available.
justinb515 01-22-2007, 08:28 AM bump, all pms replied, bass still here
justinb515 01-22-2007, 09:09 AM bump for a price drop...$785 Shipped
justinb515 01-22-2007, 06:29 PM to the top
Personatech 01-22-2007, 07:07 PM Gorgeous bass - you sure about the Inca Silver?? Sure looks like Shoreline Gold to me...
Does the preamp have a passive bypass? What's its weight? Neck width at nut?
gkbass13 01-22-2007, 07:17 PM yowsers! hot bass.
justinb515 01-23-2007, 03:01 AM Color is definitely inca silver, no bypass/bass is always active, nut width is 1 and 5/8", and I have no way of weighing the bass, although I wouldn't call it light.
justinb515 01-23-2007, 04:09 PM bump for the final price drop, $750 shipped
justinb515 01-23-2007, 10:06 PM bump.
justinb515 01-24-2007, 02:22 AM once again considering all trade offers. I am a sucker for maple boards, jazz designs, just about any Lakland, and I'm not a G&L fan. Willing to trade down for bass + cash, but not up.

MaddAnthony_59 01-29-2007, 09:21 AM PM Sent/Bump. I usually have "Attitude" about Fender basses...I think I like this one.
fatsobasso 01-29-2007, 10:18 AM i have a 60th anniversary edition in cherryburst,amazing low action with no buzz,frets are really perfect on these basses.
justinb515 01-29-2007, 11:03 AM thanks for the bump! Yes the frets really are perfect. It doesn't get any easier to play than this, assuming you like the precision neck profile.
justinb515 01-29-2007, 01:37 PM bump for serious price drop, $695 shipped
Johnny5 01-29-2007, 02:00 PM Aw man, I'd totally hit this if I wasn't up in Canada, or you were. Import fees SUCK.
justinb515 01-29-2007, 04:18 PM Dang. Too bad. I didn't realize Canadian import fees were that bad. I've shipped several basses to Canada in the past. Let me know if there's any way to work it out. You know you want to...:bassist:
BigDawg 01-29-2007, 04:26 PM I am really starting to think long and hard about this one. I missed out on an MIA Jazz that I wanted and this is up there. I wish it were 5 string, but damn it is hot.
BigDawg 01-29-2007, 04:40 PM Ah, to hell with it. PM sent.
justinb515 01-30-2007, 08:25 AM sale pending...
