Fender 50s Precision Honey Blonde

jmain · #1 04-22-2011, 07:19 PM

(Price drop) Well, I have my eye on a P5 that will get playing time since I go for a 5-string more these days. I have to sell this to fund the purchase. So with much trepidation, here goes:

Fender 50s Precision Bass in the much sought after Honey Blonde finish. Comes with bridge and pickup covers (Sitting on in pics, but I have the screws.) This is an awesome bass that I hate to part with. One piece maple neck with skunk stripe. Alder body with Honey Blonde trans finish. Strung with flats.

The one piece maple neck is killer with some nice grain. It feels awesome a gives it a good focus, with killer P tone.

Price Drop: $550 shipped to lower 48.

Droid pics in bad lighting don't do it justice. I'll try again tomorrow. (more below)

Jesse, why must you tempt me so?!

Bump for a great TB'er. This shouldn't last long.

Its tough I tell you!!! I love this bass but it gets no play time other than the jam room. Buy it and keep it in the close family.

Thanks for the bump man. Hopefully I feel good about this later.

Man, I love the look of these 50's Ps. Interested in any non-P5 trades? Thanks man!

These are great basses. Often over looked. I wanted one for a while and purchased one last year, can't put the thing down.
My MIA Jazz is jealous.

Thanks! They are great basses

I'll sell outright. For trades I'm pretty much set on Fender American Standard P5 or Jazz V plus cash on my end of course.

No doubt an awesome bass. Twisting me up to sell it, but would love a P5.

Thanks Doug!! If this was a P5 I'd be set. Well, if I had the two you do I'd be set too.

Sweet grain on the one-piece maple neck.

Lacuga · #13 04-23-2011, 05:03 PM

What is the condition? Any blemishes? Also, what is the year? Thanks!

Embrace your inner Nate Mendel and get this looker of a bass!

jmain · #18 04-24-2011, 07:31 PM

Thanks yellowfury.

Price drop to $550 shipped to the lower 48. Come get it before I come to my senses.

Lacuga · #19 04-24-2011, 07:53 PM

PM sent.

jmain · #20 04-24-2011, 08:20 PM

PM replied. Sorry Lacuga, but I have come to my senses. This is my wife's favorite bass that I've ever owned so she doesn't want to see it go. I was just telling her that I was going to sell it to help fund a P5 and she wasn't too thrilled. But she offered to help me fund the P5 for my upcoming birthday. What a lady!

So, my apologies to all who have inquired and especially Lacuga.
