ash Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) This is a Fender USA 1977 Precision, it features a maple fingerboard & original natural finish ash body. The bass weighs in at around 9.9lbs so not too hefty for a 70s era bass. Gone Edited July 9, 2012 by ash
Bigwan Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Birth year precision... Not half tempted, but alas I'm brassic...

ash Posted July 3, 2012 Author Posted July 3, 2012 [quote name='Jimelliottbassist' timestamp='1341347408' post='1717590'] Me too. Serious gasssss. [/quote] Seriously good bass!
Linus27 Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 That so looks like my old bass. May I ask where you got it from and how long you have had it. I think I sold mine around 2001/2002 on Ebay.
3below Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Absolutely super, takes me back to my first P bass 1977, grant cheque and 58 EB2 traded in. Best of luck with sale, I would be divorced if I bought this...

Rayman Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 It's a fabulous example, I've seen it in the wood so to speak. Bargain.

[/quote] Cheers Russ yes it's a beauty and I think the price is fair for what is a very playable and well constructed 70s era bass.
jcater Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I have a 1977 Precision exactly the same as this which i bought new - £300 in Denmark street back in the summer of 77. Although i have retired it from gigs it is still my first choice for any studio trips. I think the price for this is really good value. I cannot believe that it has not already gone. jeff
