I've got one of these, had it since the early 1980s. No comparison with Fender Precision from the same period and a fraction of the price. Someone snap this up so I don't have to.

Saved it to watched, I'll see tomorrow how the bidding goes.

This could be a bargain for someone. Me, I hope!

Amazing condition for its age. Wonder if it's a respray.

Yes, I see what you mean - it does have a slightly un-polished appearance, like it needs an application to t-cut to take off the bloom, though it's hard to say whether that's just the way it was photographed. The paint on my one is pretty glossy by comparison. Original colour would have been either black or what was euphemistically described as chocolate brown.
