SOLD Reason for
selling
Hey guys, just trying to thin the herd, have too many basses and
this one isnt getting as much attention as I hoped. Alembics just
rock too hard.
How much it will
cost
So, this bass was going to cost me 1900sgd. Bought it at roughly
a 10% discount through a friend for 1700sgd. Looking to get
800 sgd out of this, which is less than half of
what I paid for it and half of the discounted store price in US
this does not even including shipping to Singapore (haven't been
able to find this bass locally recently and they wanted to charge
me an exorbidant amount to import it).
Fender's
description.
It's a faithful limited edition reproduction of Sting's trusty
1953 Precision Bass with his signature in a block inlay at the 12th
fret. Contoured lightweight ash body with single-ply pickguard.
Maple neck and fretboard with a 7.25" radius, a vintage 2-saddle
bridge, and a vintage single-coil pickup. Enjoy this re-creation of
the P Bass from the early days and pay homage to a great player at
the same time. Includes Fender gig bag.
My take on the
bass.
It is a great for somebody who wants the vintage tone and look
but with all the modern technology in the bass(so none of that
vintage fuzziness in the tone).
It has a small, visible ding at the neck from
trying to hang it on the wall but is barely noticible due to the
position of it. I have taken a detailed picture of the ding to try
and display the condition of the bass.
Apart from that, the bass is in mint condition. It has the 1950s
"smoker's voice" and its neck plays like butter. It's was made more
for fingerstyle playing but I've been using it for slap because of
the growl. For those who like a clear voice, don't let this throw
you off, the bass maintains it's clarity and its "growl" is in no
way distorted. Like all my basses, it has been babied. Cleaned,
tuned everynight and strings maintained. Strings are not included
because I cannot make too much of a loss from the heavily
discounted price. Took it to the store to make sure its set
up properly, the guy said that everything was already in order
which doesnt surprise me as I played this one less than my other
basses.
Overall, I haven't found a better price for this bass in sg. The
tonal possibilities are endless with this bass and lets not forget
that it looks awesome(To those who like the vintage look!).
You can contact me at 9/6/4/6/2/3/2/3. Please do so only if you
are interested. If you would like pictures sms me your email. You
can I do not want to make useless trips out and want to
protect the integrity of the bass for its future owner.
Thanks,
Glenn
