gary mac Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) [center]1974 Fender Precision and original Fender case.[/center] [center]There’s something else I fancy buying so time to put another of my rather lovely 70’s P basses up for sale.[/center] [center]Black body with maple board/neck.[/center] [center]All original pups, electrics and chrome covers.[/center] [center]Lovely clean maple board and neck.[/center] [center]40 mm. at the nut.[/center] [center]Chunky, vintage fretwork in excellent condition.[/center] [center]Weighing in at a very shoulder friendly 8.2lbs.[/center] [center]The case is generally good, although one corner looks a bit ropey as can be seen in the photo.[/center] [center]Catches all work and there is even a key.[/center] [center]This is a cool looking vintage instrument and very resonant, even unplugged it’s loud and growly.[/center] [center]Very good condition but not immaculate, there are a few blemishes and general signs of use.[/center] [center]Hopefully as can be seen in the pics, it is really very clean, given its age.[/center] [center]The pots are dated 1974 but the serial number on the neck plate indicates 1975, although the previous owner is convinced that it is a 74. Fender could be a bit haphazard with dating back then of course, anyway it is a very decent 70’s example.[/center] [center]The band I am with, mostly play sweaty, crowded pubs, where I regularly seem to find myself and my gear in the firing line of inebriated punters. I’m therefore wary of using vintage instruments. If we played venues with stages this would be a keeper, as I find it very comfortable to play and it packs a good old P bass punch.[/center] [center]Collection preferred and therefore I’m not at this stage quoting a postage price.[/center] [center]We can discuss postage costs etc if necessary.[/center] [center]. I’m in Hertfordshire and happy for BC’ers to visit and try out, prior to buying.[/center] [center]Priced at £ 1,950[/center] [center]Not after any trades at the moment, thanks.[/center] [center]Cash or bank transfer preferred, I can accept Pay Pal but the buyer will have to pay the fees.[/center] [center]I’ve also still got the sunburst 75 P and although Iit hasn't been bumped of late, it is still for sale.

Lozz196 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 You`ll regret letting her go Gary, I did with my 78 black/black/maple Precision, luckily managed to get her back recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrammeFriday Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 There's not much more classic in the bass world than a black/black/maple US Fender ... My first bass was one of these - albeit minus the chrome covers, and a bit later - bought new in 1981, heavily influenced by JJ Burnel and Algy Ward (The Damned). Fond memories!
