Peavey Fury Precision MIA- CHEAP

parsons · #1 05-30-2011, 10:02 AM

Here's a nice beater backup or project for you Peavey/Precision guys out there. She has some serious mellow warm tone. The strings on it are some dead roundwounds that were there when I got it. When plugged in as it sits, the tone reminds me of "Whipping Post" by the Allman Bros.

The Bad:
- Battle scars aplenty, dings in the body, neck, scuffs and scratches on the headstock, etc.
- The white pickguard seems to be warped a bit below the pickup. Its basically raised about an 1/8th of inch. I dont know if this guard is original or if its just an ill fitting replacement.
- The D string tuning machine has a loose "clover". The clover part shakes a bit. The previous owner had duct tape on it. I took it off but the residue is still on it.
- May need a new input jack. Some of my cable seem to crackle in it while others don't. I have a new input jack in my shop that I can solder in for you if you want it. Its not SwitchCraft, but it'll work.
The Good-
Made in the USA
1.5" nut, comfy neck
would make an awesome resto or refin project.
You'll be pressed to find a MIA bass this cheap!

I'd like ~~$150~~ $135 shipped to lower 48. No case but I might be able to find a gig bag if you want it.

Where are you located in MD, and what would the cost for a local pickup be? I've been gassing for a P bass.

Thanks, if you take the ~50 bucks in shipping out of this, you're getting a US made Precision for $85. She isn't the prettiest girl at the dance but no one ever got lucky taking the prettiest girl out!

I just picked one of these up, very kick a$$ bass, amazing sound pu, very mid forward and super fast neck. Great price bump!

Arrrrrrgh I made the mistake of reading this in front of my better half. This has been veto'd. Sorry Parsons. Bump and good luck for a good deal.

wow, talk about a screaming deal

Any interest in trades? I got a Patriot in similar condition and price.

I'm looking for something with a P p'up.

Patriots are cool but I just picked up a new MIA Fender P today as well as two EBMM Sterlings this month. I've gotta get rid of some inventory because my instrument room in my house has more stock than some Guitar Centers at the moment.

Shut down?! Gotta keep your pimp hand strong, brother!

Thanks for the bump.

Thanks for the bump.

I can't use my pimp hand when she points out I have too many basses as is, and a dissasembled P bass lying around that needs work.

Bump nonetheless. Keep your pimp hand strong!
