0353203 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) Hi All, Up for sale is my 1964 Fender Precision Bass, pro-refinished in aged OW. Apart from the refin and a replaced guard, she is all original. I recently sourced one of these for Clarky (although a 1963) and was so impressed with the end-result that I commissioned this one. However, more recent additions to the corner of the loft marked 'do not sell under any circumstances' mean that she has to find a new home. Includes correct period Fender no-logo case in great condition. Cheers, Si Edited June 3, 2011 by 353203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 My '63 is gorgeous and this is a looker too - another one from Si's vintage loft of dreams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutton Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 (edited) 5th November is my birthday. Why did you have to post this! Now if it had been 5th November 1957 that would have been my date of birth and I would have had to do something drastic to acquire this bass. All the best with the sale.

Lozz196 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Another great bass there Si. I think you`ve got the Time Tunnell in that loft of yours, and it`s got a direct link to the Fender factory in the 1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Just to ease your GAS a little bit... The '5' in the date code doesn't mean the 5th of November - '5' is the model code for a Precision. So that neck code translates as: Precision Bass - made in November of 1964 - C width. Mmmm...Lovely bass! Have a bump!

Beedster Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Crikey mate, you do get some stunners. I might start waiting outside your place and jumping the couriers as they arrive (whilst 'jumping' might sound dubious, I was actually about to write 'interfering with..'. I'm off to see my therapist) C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krispn Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I'd love to play one of these old basses just to see if my hand would fit around the neck The GAS to have one might be beaten by the sheer impracticality of not being able to physically play it Still though something alluring about a bass thats been played in for 50 years or so!
