gary mac Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) [center]PRICE NOW REDUCED TO £1950.00[/center] [center]1975 USA Fender Precision Bass.[/center] [center]Complete with the original hard case and the Fender strap supplied from new.[/center] [center]This instrument is in exceptionally good condition.[/center] [center]The lovely original sunburst finish has only a few slight marks/blemishes.[/center] [center]Virtually no buckle rash.[/center] [center]All of the hardware and fittings are in great condition.[/center] [center]Truss rod functions perfectly.[/center] [center]Lovely chunky neck with maple fret board.[/center] [center]The vintage jumbo frets are good with very little wear.[/center] [center]It came to me with flat wounds and since then I’ve only used flats, currently D’addario chromes.[/center] [center]Width at nut is 41mm.[/center] [center]Weighs in at a very should friendly 9lb.[/center] [center]Chrome covers were missing when it came to me.[/center] [center]The input socket developed an intermittent crackle sometime back. I didn’t want to replace it due to the electrics being all original. However, I decided that functionality should come first and so replaced it with a quality Switchcraft unit. I still have the original, which can be supplied with the sale.[/center] [center]The volume pot also developed a crackle and occasionally would cut out. Once again, although I didn’t particularly want to change it, I decided that a replacement control would be worthwhile and ensure that the bass was reliable if I wanted to gig with it. The Bass Doc sent me down an original 250 CTS pot. I will supply the original, which could be refurbished. The original pot dated 38th week of 1974 can be seen in one of the photos[/center] [center] All the other electrics are sound. The pups are great. Tone control works perfectly.[/center] [center]Asking Price [s]£2,10[/s] price dropped to £1,950. It won't be going any lower, it's such a nice one, I'll just hang on to it a while longer.[/center] [center]Dealer prices for P basses of this age and condition are a lot higher.[/center] [center]Collection preferred and therefore I’m not at this stage quoting a postage price.[/center] [center]I’m in Hertfordshire and I’m happy for BC’ers to visit and try out, prior to buying.[/center] [center]I’m not in any hurry to sell this bass, so please, no silly offers.[/center] [center]Not after any trades at the moment.[/center] [center]If any more details or additional photos are required let me know, thanks.[/center] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6081068370/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6080533653/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6080533781/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/6081068922/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510861043/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510662806/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510704474/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510688255/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510900963/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510917943/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510759244/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510767114/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510776554/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/httpwwwflickrcomphotosgmac190/10510967093/"][/url] Edited April 16, 2014 by gary mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biaeothanata-Bassist Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Good god Gary, that bass is stunning! I've never seen a near 40 year old bass in such mint condition. You should be proud you've managed to keep it looking so good. This should have no problem shifting fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 Thanks once again, if you all keep telling me how lovely it is I might talk myself out of selling it.

adamlunt Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I don't suppose you require any additional body parts? I'll send some cash your way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 Ta, but I have a full compliment of body parts, although they could mostly be described as road worn. Cash always welcome though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
