fretless bob Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 (edited) I am letting go of my beloved precision, i've had the bass for a couple of years now and loved every minute of it. It's a great player at a great weight and sits beautifully in mix, there are a few spots of wear on the bass but this further adds to the look of the bass.

I will ship the bass worldwide at the Buyers expense or am happy for collection.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]No Trades Please.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Dave[/font][/color] Edited August 11, 2013 by fretless bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gareth Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 [quote name='fretless bob' timestamp='1375882823' post='2166876'] serial No is V034848 [/quote] thanks for that - this bass used to be mine - it was made in the mid to late 80's - production of these basses did not start until 1982, so I think your 1981 date needs revising and was initially based in fullerton until 1984 when it moved to corona - hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the serial seems very high, a 1982 AVRI serial should start with V00. Check the date on the neck heel. No doubt a good bass, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick's Fine '52 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) Serial number is in-line with '84, based on similar numbers on other instruments.

[/quote] not wishing to contradict rick but here is a post from the fender forum - [b][size="2"]I don't know the exact dates, but I do know the year.

gareth Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 also from web: - "As a broad generality V000001-V004000 denote a 1982 guitar, V004000-V010000 denote a 1983 guitar, and V010000-V016000 denotes a 1984 guitar. If you look at my fullerton inventory, you can see that this is just a broad generality. From my experience, any serial number below V016000 denotes a guitar made at the fullerton plant (1982-1984). Of course, there are exceptions to this generalization. I have come across many guitars with a serial number in the V012000's with a 1982 neckdate. I have also come across guitars with a V012000 serial number with a 1986 neckdate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
