Description
This is a 2011 Fender Classic Series 50s Precision Bass in black. Features:
— Alder body w/ C-shape maple neck
— Upgraded DiMarzio pickups & Fender hi-mass bridge
— Reverse-wind tulip tuners
These are geat looking and playing 50s style basses. The DiMarzio pickups sound great and the custom tortoise shell pickguard looks cool. Electronics include CTS pots, orange drop capacitor, “Pure Tone” multi-contact jack, and some cloth wire. Cosmetically, it’s very clean with two small marks (see pics) and some light scuffing. Vintage frets are in great shape. Weight is 8 pounds, 12 ounces. No case. Details on my setups and packing, as well as full specs, at bottom. 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.
