Fender 2011 American Special Precision P-Bass 8.13 Lbs! Red CAR 60th Anni 09031
Description (see more pics below)
This is a beautiful 60th Anniversary 2010 Fender American Special Precision Bass in metallic Candy Apple Red finish. Weight is a very comfortable 8lbs, 13oz.
Condition
Cosmetically the bass is very clean. No big dings or scratches. Some very faint scuff from playing, too light to catch on camera. You'll see a picture with a guitar pick on back of bass but you can't really see the scuffs next to it. Frets are in very good condition. Nice addition of a bridge ashtray cover.
Features
— Alder body, all maple neck
— 9.5" radius, slim C neck w/ med-jumbo frets
— Alnico P pickups with Greasebucket tone circuit
Sound & Playability
These American Special P basses have “goldilocks” specs with modern C neck with satin back that really make them a joy to play. The Greasebucket circuit lets you roll of highs without becoming overly boomy. They are also easy on the back at sub-9-pound weight, so they’re easy to handle. Candy Apple Red with black guard and ashtray cover makes for a classic look. NO case. I do a full setup and expert packing: details below. FREE FedEx Ground in USA. Int’l contact for quote.

About Me
My store is a one-person small business that has been selling used guitars and basses for 15 years now. I do a basic setup and cleaning on every instrument I sell, so depending on workload it may be 1-2 business days before your guitar ships. When it arrives you can depend on it being, clean, set up, and securely packed. Check my feedback for confirmation. Thanks!
Guitar Setup
All our setups are done by our in-house luthier. Setup 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. We spray out any pots that are noisy, 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. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. 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
Here's a new take on a classic bass. Fender's American Special Precision Bass kicks off a new decade of Fender basses with the latest in U.S.-made quality and value. An ultra-fast and comfortable Slim C-shape maple neck and lightweight alder body make the American Special Precision Bass one of the most playable basses out there. A traditional split single-coil P Bass pickup puts out plenty of tone, and Fender's amazing Greasebucket tone circuit lets you ease off the highs and still get punchy and powerful lows. Top it all off with Fender's high-gloss finish, and the American Special Precision Bass looks just as good as it sounds.
