Fender American Standard Precision Bass Rosewood Fretboard USA 1984 - Sienna Sunburst CLEAN! + OHSC 20179
Description (More pics below)
This is a beautiful vintage American Precision Bass, born on January 3, 1984. Sienna Sunburst finish in super condition with excellent rosewood board and perfect frets. Plays like a dream and comes with original hard case. Weight = 9lbs, 3oz.
Condition
Cosmetically, the bass is in excellent plus condition. No dings on the body. Only marks you find are some indents on the back of the neck which you can feel with you hand (see pics). Frets are great. Pots and pickups replaced. They may be Fender "original 62" or "Custom Shop 62" pickups.
Sound and Playability
The bass plays great all around the neck. Electronics sound amazing. A lot of fun to play. In setting up the bass, with medium gauge strings I have the action at .090" at the 12th fret and very mild relief of .007". To achieve this relief I needed to tighten the truss rod as far as it would go. I did not engage the Micro-Tilt adjustment at all. Perhaps in the future someone may wish to use a spacer to get more out of the truss rod, but it has set up just fine as is. Case is excellent and has Cheney UK locks and case key. Thanks!

Guitar Setup
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. 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 15 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 "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
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!
