FS- American Fender Deluxe Precision bass in Candy Apple Red with original gold anodized aluminum pickguard and all the case candy this bass was sold with. This bass has an amazing jazz neck--maybe a little thinner and sleeker than a Geddy Lee. Weight is a little over 8 lbs. Bass is in excellent condition currently strung with a new set of Fender 7250 strings. Bass will ship in a nearly new, heavy duty, deluxe black leather gig bag ($200.00 value) or a Fender hard case. Bass has a Baddass II bridge installed and original bridge will be shipped with bass. Vinyl inlay stickers also installed on neck that can be easily removed if that doesn't suit new owner.

This is a fairly rare model--only made from 1997-1998. This is also known as a "California Series" bass with the AMXN serial number.

$850.00 shipped CONUS

Wilee, are you trying to just take all of the money I earn?

It has the most amazing neck--very low action.

Any trades?

I would consider a Road Worn Precision bass.

Really? Why do you prefer the Road Worn?

I've played a few and really like the feel of the neck and the warmth of the tone that they have. It seems like shaking hands with an old friend for me. And you don't have to be too fussy about the finish either.

I assume this is passive,right? How large is the cavity? Pickups have even output across all 4 strings? Pickup type?
Thanks,
Steve

Yes, the pickups are passive. They are the original Fender pickups. The output sounds even to me when I play the bass, and the Baddass bridge really adds to the sustain. The cavity in the body is the stock, standard route that Fender does. You could probably fit a 9 volt battery under the pickguard if you wanted to.

Thanks for your interest.
