Fender '51 RI Precision - $425 shipped

patrickshofner · #1 09-22-2010, 04:03 PM

Like the title says, letting go of my '51 Precision RI. Does have it's share of minor dings, but nothing major. The hardware is beginning to pit/show a hint of rust. Also has a bit of discoloration/wear along bottom edge of fretboard. Plays very well and has a tone that I haven't been able to replicate. I was planning on keeping this one around, but my truck broke down and I need to recoup some of the costs. Need to get $425 shipped, $400 if you can swing a local deal (42743). Will come with a cheap gigbag.

Aw man, Patrick, why do you have to do this to me?! Here I am trying to reduce my inventory and you tempt me with this. I've always kind of GAS'd for one of these, but never got one. But since I already have 3 great P's, I'm gonna' try to resist this one. Don't worry though, it'll go quick!

It should, these are great basses.... I have a 2T burst version and love the playability and thump. I think its the most resonating of my basses from the unplugged tone on her...

thanks for the words guys, you're making me rethink my sale!! I should mention that i'm not really looking for trades, but may be tempted by a nice turntable (vintage or modern).

bump for a great price and great bass. i'd buy this as a backup for mine if i weren't so damn broke.

Never played one of these and have always wondered what the tone is....is this what Sting plays?

Sting reissue is a '53 IIRC. It has a contour, this has a slab body.

This bass has been sold.
