This is just a feeler. I've got a crap load of Precisions and I can't play them all. I guess this is my chance to change things up a little.
I'm interested in:
-Stingrays (H, HH doesn't matter. I don't care if its Ray34 either)
-G&Ls (L2000, L1000, etc)
-Hollowbodies (Jack Cassidy, Artcores, Club basses, etc)
I might consider a trade for a lightweight Road Worn Sunburst or Fiesta Jazz or a Road Worn Sunburst Precision + cash from you.
Feel free to offer anything else interesting.
Trade value is $1100.
This is a great player but she's very heavy for me and I guess heavy in general. I've got a left shoulder injury which makes playing heavy stuff a chore. This is probably 11-12 lbs. Even though it literally pains me I've been bringing her out to nearly every gig I've played since I've gotten her. She sounds awesome too and with the bridge pickup she snarls. Unfortunately I have to be realistic and I know I can't be playing this for a few hours at a time.
The controls are V/V/T and there is a 3 way pickup selector. Original P-bass pickup and I believe a similar vintage jazz pickup. Original pots too I think unless I read the codes wrong. Extra pot is a mini pot. None of them are scratchy.
I generally don't solo the bridge pickup as it sounds a little thin on its own as its in the extreme bridge position. Not anemic but it just doesn't have the volume on its own. Perhaps a set up would alleviate this.
I generally stick to the P-bass pickup and when I want a little more definition and growl I use both pickups.
The strings on here are from when my friend got the bass 15 years ago so they're really dead but I think they sound fantastic. If I keep the bass the strings will stay on it forever. From what he described it had either flats or ground wounds on it before. There isn't really any fret wear despite all the neck wear.
The non-original bits are:
bridge pickup
high mass bridge
strap buttons (has strap locks on it now, I don't have the strap attachments)
Pickguard
Aside from the jazz pup route there is maybe 3/4" route under the pickguard where the control cavity was slightly enlarged to accomodate the extra pot.
