FS: 1988 Fender 57 Reissue Precision

pbass78 · #1 06-08-2010, 01:22 PM

Two tone burst in decent shape on the front, not so good on the back. This is a players bass, it is all original but missing the bridge, pickup and finger rest. Comes with an old style tweed case.

This has been stored for a while and will need a full setup with strings and some TLC. Neck looks good and frets have plenty of life left.

This bass needs to go, so please make a reasonable offer, all I can say is no.

Sales to USA only, paypal only, no trades.

Asking $925 shipped or $850 cash in person. (Atlanta Metro)

PM with questions.

Thanks,

Mike

It's a little hard to see the s/n is this an AV, or a Vintage reissue?
And do you mean it's just missing the bridge and pickup covers?

thanks

I am curious as to what caused the wear on the back?

To be honest I don't know, it was given to me to offset a debit. I'm trying to sell it fast to recoup the funds owed to me.

It looks like it took a bump on the left side and the right side is just worn through the finish. There is quite a bit of buckle rash as well.

The black stuff appears to be tape residue as if someone covered it up for some reason.

If it was cleaned up good it'd look great as the wear makes it look cool IMO. I'd keep it but not playing anymore.

Might wanna try some goo be gone or similar so we can see what the back looks like better. Hows the frets?

pbass78 · #9 06-09-2010, 03:42 PM

Frets look good, I'll shoot a picture of those soon.

I'll try to clean up the back and repost as soon as possible.

Was hoping to "blow it out" as is, but will put some time in it tomorrow night.

I'm pretty interested in this as a backup to my 57 RI. Does this one have the raised A pole pieces? Weight?

pbass78 · #11 06-10-2010, 05:59 AM

It does have the raised pole pieces on the pickup.

I don't have a scale but it is quite light, maybe 9 probably less.

I'm going to try and clean up the tape residue tonight and shoot new pictures.

If you have some lighter fluid, it'll clean that stuff in a heartbeat............safely. All you need is a drop on a cloth.

Good idea, was going to try goo gone.

Thanks for the tip.

Sorry for this, but something is up with Photobucket, so I'll place these in here for now and try again later.

A bit of goo gone and the black stuff is gone. I cleaned up the pickup as well.

I'm in Egypt until the 19th, but I'd love to check this bass out when I get stateside.
