On hold!

PM’d you

Front and back, full length, as requested!

Thanks for the interest! All I know is what they told me regarding the refinish, other than that, I don’t know anymore unfortunately! Truss rod turns both ways and works as it should. Tuners smooth, pots all good, no crackling. Bridge is original. The bass is setup with nice low action and Elixir 45-100 nickel strings. Weight comes in between 4.2 and 4.3kg on my luggage scales. I’ll take a couple more photos later today. Hope that helps! Thanks

Price drop to £2995

And sold!!

For anyone interested, the hip shot detuner has now been removed and replaced with the original 70s Fender stamped machine head!

Now £2995 Hi all Reluctant sale of this beautiful bass as it deserves to be played much more than it is by me. It sounds absolutely stunning, all pots and pickups work great. Loads of zing and top end but also lots of vintage grunt and growl. I bought this from the bass gallery in 2019. The bass was refinished before I owned it and has aged beautifully, whether it was reliced or gigged hard I’m not sure, probably the former. There’s also a slight enlargement of the cavity where it may once have had a preamp, that’s fully covered by the control plate anyway. One pickguard screw hole has been slightly enlarged. This is covered by a metal washer so isn’t noticeable. There is general wear and marks pictured and you’re welcome to view the bass in person in Chessington, Surrey. The neck plate dates the body to 1970 (or late 1969 according to some serial number lookups). I believe the pickups and pick guard are original. Thumb rest is most likely non original and the pots were replaced early on - they date to 1974. The pickups are 60s spacing which is consistent with the earlier date. Fender switched to the 70s spacing during 1970. The neck stamp is no longer legible but you can see on the rear the stamp of 'H Torres' who's necks of this era are well respected.It currently has a Hipshot D Tuner fitted but this will be returned to the original Fender stamped tuner for the sale. The neck is solid maple with a walnut insert and walnut headstock plug which fits the date, as Fender moved to the bullet truss rod in 1974. The neck has black blocks and binding only offered from 1970-73. Any questions, let me know and I will do my best to answer them. I am in no rush to sell and will happily keep it if the right buyer doesn't come along. Pickup or meet up available in and around Surrey. I can also meet a buyer in central London. I would rather not post, given the value of this but please get in touch if you’re interested and we can discuss options. Many thanks Dan
