rickybrandrett Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Hi, i have recently been given a fender precision fretless which according to the id number is from 1979. As much as i would love to keep the bass i need money more than a second bass. So i was wondering if anyone who knew anything about this bass could kindly pass the infomation on to me and if anyone knew what price i should be looking for that would help out a lot. the bass has been sat and not played for a good few years but is in full working order i have taken it appart and cleaned all i could off it but it still has a few scuffs and what not. it has a crack in the finnish but it is not all the way around the body so i guess it is just the finnish thats cracked. i have uploaded a pic of the bass and a close up of the crack, they should be bellow. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks Ricky. [attachment=70270:DSC00259.JPG] [attachment=70271:DSC00257.JPG] [attachment=70272:DSC00260.JPG] Edited February 5, 2011 by rickybrandrett

rickybrandrett Posted January 28, 2011 Author Posted January 28, 2011 (edited) Hi mate I am looking for around 900ish i have the original case with the bass but that needs quite a bit of TLC so to speak i didnt get many pics i think i have a few more i will have a look for some more or i can take more tomorrow if you need them. [attachment=70277:DSC00261.JPG] [attachment=70278:DSC00262.JPG] They are all i have at the moment but as i say if you want more of any part i can have them on late on tomorrow. Ricky.

gub Posted January 29, 2011 Posted January 29, 2011 Cheers for the info but decided to give the fretless route a miss for the moment unless one lands in my lap at the right price ,i really need to sort my main bass out first good luck with the sale though ,gav
rickybrandrett Posted January 29, 2011 Author Posted January 29, 2011 Ok mate, no worries. I will get some pics of the serial number and the dated number behind the pickups and a few more in depth pictures later today. Ricky.
rickybrandrett Posted January 30, 2011 Author Posted January 30, 2011 Ok so took the bass to pieces to take more pictures, and re-checked the serial number to find it is a 1980. So for whoever it concerns here are some more clearer pics for you. It will be going up on ebay tomorrow but i will take it off if someone makes me a reasonable offer. the serial number on the body is S899542 and the same on the neck as you can see from the pics.
