drums1977 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) For sale my 1960 Fender Precision Bass. Very very old black refinish, very thin nitro. Both body (PU cavity) and neck heel pencil-dated 1960. Stunning Brazilian rosewood [u]slab fingerboard[/u]. Deep preCBS contours. All electronics are original, as is the body, neck, PG, etc. Truss rod works perfectly. The back of the neck seems to have been very lightly sanded a long time ago too. It feels simply amazing. Neck is straight, action is low, tone is perfect. Really, this bass has -as you can expect- THE PBass tone. Comes with a Fender OHSC from the mid 60s and original bridge cover. Light weight at 3,8 Kg. Now 3200 pounds. HD Gallery [url="http://s1314.photobucket.com/user/roquefort2000/library/1960%20Precision%20bass?sort=3&page=1"]HERE[/url].

FEND3R Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) This is going to get me into deep trouble with the Mrs. Will check the budget and get in touch soon. Is everything else original on the bass except for the paintjob (screws, etc.) and are there any repairs? Edited December 30, 2014 by FEND3R
drums1977 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 In complete honesty, i am not able to tell an original screw from just some very old screw, sorry. Everything in this bass looks pretty old to me. No repairs to my knowledge, and none I can spot. I have set it up and put it apart several times and all responds perfectly, it is very solid and well built. And it plays and sounds fantastic.
drums1977 Posted December 31, 2014 Author Posted December 31, 2014 All PBass should sound like this one. But they don't.
drums1977 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 Nibbles, but no deals. Don't be afraid to contact me with your offers... You might end up the owner of sa precbs slab!
alstocko Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 That is ridiculously delicious mate. Wish I had the money for this! Out of curiosity, what is the nut width and neck shape?
drums1977 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Posted January 3, 2015 The nut width is the typical P Bass', can't say the exact figure (I could measure it if requested), like any 60s reissue or a CS Pino. The neck shape is quite flat and confortable, I would say exactly like a Pino. I think that one is called a D shape, but not sure, Hope this helps!
drums1977 Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Open to partial trades with Fender CS.
drums1977 Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 I am considering listing this on the bay, and that would be a real shame in my opinion, this bass is fantastic. Don't be afraid o throwing all kinds of offers, I really hate letting basses like this one get out of the forum.
drums1977 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Posted February 22, 2015 This bass is now for sale at 3000 pounds (4000 EUR). Again, Fender CS price for a real Slab PreCBS. Going on the Bay tonight.
divineinventionband Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 What sort of a deal would you be interested in for my custom shop Jazz relic with stacked knobs.
