FS - Squier Pro-tone V

psus16 · #1 02-10-2010, 03:28 PM

Bought this a month or so ago from tb member fullcircle...strung it up with half-rounds, played it at 2 practices/1 sunday morning church service, and it just wasn't quite my thing.

I LOVED the wide neck, spacing/look, but I'm just a sucker for traditional/oldschool p bass tone. Maybe I'm just a moron, but I can't quite get all the way there with this bass. It has a slightly more modern tone. (IMO) It still sounds good, I just don't play it with my other 2 p-basses around.

I got a great deal on it, so even though a few have sold for a smidge higher than this in the last month, I'm not gonna try to make money on this thing. Same price as it was sold to me - 285 + shipping. (CONUS ONLY)

I attached fullcircle's FS post...I can take new pics if needed, but the condition is literally the same as it started. It's been in a climate controlled environment IN its hardshell case for all but 3 hours since I've got it.

FS: Squier Pro-Tone Precision V bass

There used to be pics in that thread?? You can see the post where the wording refers to the pictures...

Weird. I can sure take more pics...I'll do that today.

Ah, yes- 'swhat I get for skimming. Nice basses though, by reputation.

These are thought of as some of Squier's best basses, free bump!

Still no pics? Was hoping to see the actual bass!

Although i'm pretty sure it looks a lot like the other one...

I bought one of these not long ago. Cleaned it up so the gold tooth pimp quality could shine through and it does. Put some Sadowsky black nickel strings on. I would take it anywhere and play it. Very nice bass with a nicely balanced B string.
These are undervalued. I had a 55-01 Lakland and I would rate this Pro Tone just as good or a little better. The Pro Tone has much better frets and I love the wide neck.

Pick it up! This is priced right.
