4 candles Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Howdy edit* Im going to see if its true that anything will sell for the "right price" Continuing my clear out, I brought this last year solely as an investment as my fretless playing is dreadful. This has sat under a bed now since I brought it but now I could do with some cash so its up for grabs. All original 3 tone sunburst 1976 fretless precision bass and in "very good" condition for a 35yr old bass and confirmed by Vintage and rare guitars in London. In full working order. original black pickguard is not currently fitted but will be included in sale, the bass is sporting a custom made tortoise shell guard that was fitted when I brought the bass. It gives it a nice 60's look. This additional guard will also be included in the sale. Bass comes complete with original fender black tolex hard case, original hang tags and owners guide, chrome plates. A certificate of authenticity from Vintage and rare will be included in the sale. The bass needs to be seen to be fully appreciated.

Clarky Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I previously owned this (as did Happy Jack) and can confirm that it's a quite lovely bass that appeared to have been kept in it's case for most of it's life as the sunburst was so vivid still. Very nice and recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 btw, the tort guard was made for me by Howard the Bass Doc as I preferred the look to a black guard. But the latter was in superb shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4 candles Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 so thats where the tort guard came from, many thanks for the additional info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 this looks lovely - do you know the nut width (looks like it could be a 'B' neck but I can't be sure)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I recall it being B width, loz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozbass Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) [quote name='Clarky' timestamp='1326621251' post='1499500'] I recall it being B width, loz [/quote] Hi Clarky and thanks - I shouldn't be allowed on here on Sunday mornings! I don't play fretless, I don't play long-scale, but if this bass had a TV logo I'd be in serious trouble. B width is just perfect on this bass IMO. Off for a biscuit and a coffee and a calm down...
