chrisanthony1211 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) I appear to have accidentally bought another 1964 Precision, this is a late 64 model and so has the pearloid fret inlays but clay dot markers! Obviously this has been stripped and is a lovely natural colour. It has SB burnt into the wood under the pickguard with a soldering iron so my understanding is that this would have left the factory as a sunburst, then gone back to get a custom Sonic Blue over the top! It has a reissue pickguard but everything else is original, pots 3046421 and neck December 64, black bottom pickups. I have thought about getting it back to its previous original condition, Sonic Blue over sunburst, but I quite like it as it is! Not sure how long I can justify having the two 64s so don't be surprised if one of them are in the for sale forum at some point in the future!

It also has the original case which is a little battered, but it is over 50 years old.. One of the fret clay dot markers has fallen out, not sure whether to leave it as it is or to replace it with something! Any thoughts on this?

stingrayPete1977 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I like the finish as is, an old pickguard would look good as you say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisanthony1211 Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 The necks Dec 64, the pots are June 64, and I can't quite make out the scribble in the pick up cavity, could be June 63.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
largo Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Out of curiosity, is a "stripped" vintage bass worth more than a "refinished" vintage bass? Personally, I would get it finished in SB & then Sonic Blue as you said. Bring the old lady back to her former glory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
