stu_g Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 hi saw this on gumtree today a precision 62 he says with a 70s decal with contour body decal?

obbm Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Well i've got a '73 and the decals don't look like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_g Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 im under the impression only jazzes had the contour body decal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Looks to me like one of those limited edition Encores with the gold hardware. I posted some scans of a review a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixdegrees Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 To me it looks early 80s (only due to tarnished formerly gold hardware), and a dip and strip job on the body. It could be anything though. Do you reckon he's hoping someone will offer more than the asking price?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musky Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/54743-encore-p-bass-natural-finish/"]Link to the thread with the scans[/url]. Looks very much like the one in the ad, bar the logo and string tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu_g Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 i think your spot on musky, because i actually own a encore ltd83 and apart from the string tree it looks exactly like it and they just dont have the same colour as a 70s fender much paler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisions never had the contour body decal. It does look exactly like those limited edition Encores, which were decent basses, by the way. But not worth £500!
