FSO - 1981 Fender Precision Special Beater $600

MaddAnthony_59 · #1 10-23-2011, 04:05 PM

I have a Beater / Player that I bought to "Part Out", but she's a Decent Player, and kinda hate to go down that road. $600 shipped (These necks routinely go for $500+ alone on Ebay)
Here's some pics:

Full Frontal

The pickup & Electronics have been "Upgraded" with an EMG pickup and 2 band preamp, and the White PickGuard have been swaped out for a Black one. The body was respreayed in RattleCan-dyApple Red.

Closeup of the controls. Not a lot of "Shine" left on the bridge.

Maple Boards...

Headstock...

Full Rear...

Body is...yeah!

SkunkStripe neck

The Keys...

This bass is Heavy (10.5 Lbs), it is Ugly, and has a slight odor about it from being in so many bars. (And maybe even a few Bar Fights!) But it is an Early 80's P-Bass with an EMG pickup & Preamp that plays pretty Damned Fine! Your friends will be Envious for Cheap.

I'm also interested in Aria Pro II NT Trades. SB's, TSB's, Elite's, B&G's. Anything else interesting as well would be considered.

I assume none of the original parts are left? Pups, knobs etc?

WYSIWYG!

I have an "All Original" special as well. IMHO this thing kicks it's @$$ in the Sound / Tone Dept....

Still plenty of Interest.

Still no Firm Offers.

I'll let this ride a couple of weeks and revisit parting this out if it doesn't sell.

Also NT Aria Pro II's might be of Trade Interest.

Interest is slowing.

But I've heard "If this is available in Mid-November..."

So I'll let it ride before I part her out on Ebay.

Jaymi · #14 10-29-2011, 06:10 AM

still cool...I am thinking

MaddAnthony_59 · #15 10-30-2011, 03:06 AM

There's a been a few inquiries as to the Weight of this instrument.

On the B-Room Scale it comes off at a Svelt 10.5 Lbs. Maybe "Lighter Gauge" Strings would help!

3 Promises of "By this weekend".

May the Fastest PayCheck Win!

PM'ed!

All PM's Answered...

Thanks for all the interest. I do have another ALL Original P-bass Special, same color/boards including OHSC. PM me if you are interested at $900.

I'll be posting it in a day or 2 otherwise.
