FENDER ROAD WORN 50s PRECISION BASS Fiesta Red 2015 + Ashtray Cover & Case 03884
Description
This is a really amazing looking 2015 Fender Road Worn 50s Precision Bass in Fiesta Red. The relic job on these is top notch. Looks like something from Fender's Custom Shop. Appropriate wear marks in all the right places like armrest, around edges and belt buckle area. Back of neck is satin smooth with the finish worn off allowing your hand to glide easily up and down the fretboard.
Has a gold anodized pickguard and a nice Fender ashtray bridge cover added by previous owner. Look closely at the pictures below. These Road Worn basses are NOT all created equal. This one got an awesome relic job at the factory. Beyond that it plays and sounds great. Frets are in good condition. Comes with black aftermarket case. Weight is approximately 8.5 pounds. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) 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.
Manufacturer Info
Those who prize older instruments with the battered look of years on the road and the scars of countless gigs can still have that authentically aged vibe without spending decades on the road themselves. The irresistibly cool look of finish worn through to the wood, rusted hardware, a bruised neck and yellowing plastic parts are yours right away with Road Worn instruments.The Road Worn '50s Precision Bass sounds, looks and feels like it's been there and back, has more than a few miles on it, and then some. With authentic 1950s styling aged to impart a lifetime of wear and tear that has somehow made it get even better, it's a must-have for the bassist who appreciates broken-in look and vibe.
