edited December 2022 in Basses £
2016 American Vintage '63 Precision in faded sonic blue with rosewood fingerboard. In immaculate condition, only played indoors, never gigged or rehearsed. There's some minor checking on the heel and upper horn, but in a very fetching and tasteful way (flash coat lacquer). The lacquer has slowly greened - a very vintage vibe and a nice light weight. Note I currently have an official Fender AV torti pick guard both this and the original mint guard will be supplied. Strung with la bella flats. Original case, covers and candy all present. 

  • alder body
  • flash coat lacquer (minor checking which I've tried to show)
  • maple C shaped neck (some nice figuring on the neck)
  • round-laminated rosewood fingerboard, 7.25" radius
  • 1.74" nut width
  • bone nut
  • American Vintage '63 Precision Bass Split Single-Coil
  • 20 vintage style frets (well dressed, 20th fret has some slap wear from the shop not from me)
  • Vintage reverse tuners
  • 3-ply mint green pickguard
  • chrome pickup and bridge covers, lower finger rest, clay-coloured dot inlays, auxiliary strap button on headstock
  • American Vintage Bass bridge with Threaded Steel "Barrel" Saddles
  • Vintage blonde case with red interior
  • Case candy (Fender flats on the bass, the rounds got used)
  • 4.03kg/8.9llbs on my scales

Bassed(sic) in North Yorkshire

£1450

    Thanks guys, truly sad to see it go, but I just don’t have time to do it justice and guitar at the same time. Hope it goes to a good/forever home.

    Thanks @Reggaebass, It deffo has a bit more meat than a jazz but not overly fat. About 19mm at first fret?

    AV63 is wide and shallow. Perfect for your fingers to dance their way around those classic Stax/Volt/Tamla bass lines. 
    Be seeing you.
