1974 Fender Precision Bass, great sounding, great weight (8.6lbs) with a nice rosewood board, frets good, original pickups sound superb, original dated pots with original 0.05 ceramic disk capacitor, comes with original hardshell case all latches work. Comes with original ashtrays and thumbrest. The original factory walnut finish (commonly referred to as Mocha) is well-worn and the bass displays patina and checking all over, clearly was loved by a previous owner as it has had plenty of paint played off of it. The neck is a B width, 1 5/8" at the nut. Tuners all work perfectly, none are bent, bridge is in good shape, truss rod works fine - when I got it the bass had La Bella flats on it and the truss rod was adjusted accordingly to cope with the extra tension. It now has rounds on it and I re-adjusted the rod and it adjusted up easily and is playing buzz-free with a low action. The flats will be in the case compartment - they still have tons of life left in them. £2300 plus shipping UK wide. (Insured usually ends up being around £90)

Price Drop: Now £1800. £1700 final price drop. In a moment of sheer Lockdown Madness I bought this new only a few weeks ago from a music shop in Germany. I was convinced that it was exactly what I wanted! Unfortuately to get the natural finish that I wanted I had to buy from overseas and that has meant additional costs ... but having received it I quickly realised that I am definitely a jazz type bass kind of player. I just much prefer the ability to be able to pan the pickups. Anyway I am based in Cambridge and can ship anywhere in the UK. No trades thanks. The bass itself is a fantastic instrument with a lovely smooth roasted maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. I have set it up with a low action and it is honestly one of the easiest and most comfortable basses I have ever played. I live in Cambridge and would be happy to talk about meeting up. Have kept the box it was delivered in so can use that for a courier as well. Here is the spec and a few photos.

Hi everyone, I’ve decided to list my old P Bass in favour of something a little more traditional, perhaps with a sunburst and rosewood flavour. Not a desperate sale by any means, but I have a strict 1 in 1 out policy. As you can see, it’s a great example of an old school ash-body, maple-board P Bass. Ready for punk and indie, but can handle soulful RnB all the same. A player’s instrument with the following mods: Nordstrand NP4 pickup - Arguably the best pickup for a P Bass.. BadassII bridge installed at some point - Just the badass-est bridge ever! CTS pots - The originals probably wore out. For me, this just ensures the bass works. In 2020 (amidst all the chaos) I had the bass refretted, and as a result it plays like a dream. I have used Daddario Chromes solidly, meaning there is no wear whatsoever. The body has some wear where a previous owner had fitted and removed a thumb rest, and the neck has some areas where the finish has come away, but this is no way affects playability. I know the important question with basses from the era is the weight, which in this case is a healthy 5.3Kg. I am looking for a sale at this point, but if there is a nice sunburst P Bass out there, I am prepared to exchange with cash your way if needed. And I'm sure it goes without saying, please feel free to get in touch for more pics or info. All the best, Ad

I inherited this a few years ago from my late Father. The time has come to be realistic and let it go. It is wasted sitting in it's case from one year to the next and just getting occasional use. Pretty rare & fantastic Burnt Apple Burst metallic finish which is really hard to do justice to in the pictures. It looks quite reserved from a distance and in dull light but up close and lit well it has a great pinky red shimmer to it. Original case & key. Case is in excellent condition but have just noticed a small crack on one corner. Made in 2002 and all original as confirmed by the Ernie Ball serial number check website. It's in pretty much immaculate condition with just some light tarnishing to the machine head buttons to mention. Never been used outside of the house to my knowledge as my Dad always gigged with a Stingray 5. Collection only from Bristol at the moment as I'm not prepared to post it. However when we are able to travel again I would be prepared to travel to meet and handover.
