Used Fender Precision Bass (Player Plus) asking £729.38. The Precision Bass is the benchmark split-coil electric bass and covers a wide range of production bands.

Why we selected it today

Chosen because it’s a Player Plus Precision Bass offered well below typical asking prices. AG’s model labels this as a Great Price: the listing’s £729.38 sits beneath a current like-for-like median of £1,279.98 (based on the small live pool) and is about 28% below a historical like-for-like benchmark of £1,008.45. These are observed asking-price comparisons, not confirmed sale prices, and the live pool of close matches is thin. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

The model’s pedigree

The Precision Bass is the benchmark split-coil electric bass: simple, powerful and widely recorded. Used examples range from practical Mexican instruments to American and Japanese models that can command different prices.

What a buyer should check

Check neck relief, truss-rod operation, fret wear and pickup output. Confirm whether the neck, body, bridge and electronics are original before treating an older instrument as collectible.
