Fender Custom Shop Masterbuilt Precision

[KingOfAmps]

As some of you may remember I've been itching for the impossible vintage Fender for over 12 years. And it's finally about to happen! However, it's just stupid crazy expensive. So I must sacrifice my CS P-bass to justify it.

This is just a heads up post to which I'll add more detail later. When I have time I'll list it on ebay (maybe over the weekend hopefully). Everyone here is getting a heads up.

Some basics for now:

I'm asking $2750.
All original stock
Excellent condition
Masterbuilt in '97 by Masterbuilder Gene Baker in the John Page era CS
Sunburst/Tort
Birdseye Maple
Rosewood fretboard
Alder
original Fender case black tolex
4-string
string-thru bridge (all original Fender hardware; nickel everywhere)
lefty of course!!!

In the process of locating my pics. They may already be here someplace in a different forum, can't remember right now. Feel free to request more info. Bass is located in Nashville.

More later...

Any chance this bass is still for sale?

BUMP !

what happened here ?

I would love to know if the Bass is still available !

I exchanged emails with KOA about a year ago just to say hi and see how he's doing. I believe his life shifted to other priorities besides music and online music forums so I don't think he's participated here in a while. Good guy though.

I recall him wanting to sell his CS P-Bass because he had his eye on a jazz bass. Either he sold the P and got the jazz or decided to stick with the P.

I'm going to move this thread to FS:Sold to avoid further confusion.

[Jules1]

ok

could you maybe PM me his email that I could maybe ask him ?

[andrew]

No, because the email attached to his account no longer works. All the PM notifications he's been getting sent to the email on his account are bouncing back to me. Best I can say is see if the PM you sent him gets read and responded to at some point.

[Jules1]

that's what I did

let's see what happens

[KingOfAmps]

I'm back.

Sorry for the delay.

Life happens!

It is what it is!

The dog (actually I have a cat) ate my homework & I lost my p/w (true)

I will return very soon to bring closure to this thread. Right now I'm simply thrilled there's functioning memory cells to recall the p/w. I was *thiiiiiis* close to registering again under the cryptic name "KingOfAmps2". I hesitated because maybe it should be "KingOfAmps II" to better match my crown and royal persona

Once a Lefty always a Lefty!

Here's the short story:

Not long after I posted in a few places about this bass being for sale I was overwhelmed with interest. By lefty standards that is, so like 3 or 4 serious offers as I recall.

It ended up going to a very cool dude up in Canada who flew in to tennessee to pick it up in person which was great and a HUGE stress reliever.

buyer & seller very happy.

so yes it sold and sorry to leave everyone hanging for so long. I hate it when that happens it's lame. Apologies.
