FENDER Ltd Lacquer CLASSIC SERIES 50s PRECISION BASS Black Nitro Clean! 99470
Description
You're looking at a 2016 Fender Classic Series 50s Precision Bass Lacquer, made in Mexico. It is in very clean condition. This is the special edition made only in white and black with a nitrocellulose lacquer finish. Considered superior in tone and appearance to the poly finish that most of these basses have. Fender no longer makes these in black or nitro finish. They have been re-branded "Vintera" and are only available in red, green and blonde poly.
These 50s basses really have the vintage vibe with their chunky maple neck, vintage frets, gold anodized pickguard, and the tulip reverse wind tuners. Plays great. No issues. Frets and neck are nice. There are no dings or scratches, only mild playing scuffs too light to show in photos. Solid 9/10 condition. Weight is 9 pounds, 2 ounces. No case. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing—as well as full specs.) Thanks for looking.

Guitar Setup
My setup on guitars includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. I spray out any pots that are noisy. I turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. I don't claim to be a trained luthier, but I'm able to set guitars/basses for a reasonable out-of-box experience and have had very few complaints. If you're looking for the perfect setup on a used guitar, please expect to take it to a trained luthier who is familiar with your individual playing style and preferences. ps: basses get the same setup minus the new strings. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
