Owen Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 3 days off my birthday. Just as well I do not get on with P nuts.
dodgnofski Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) You need the B profile neck, which I think measures 1 & 5/8ths" at the nut as opposed to the wider C profile neck found on early / mid 60's P basses ! Having played only Jazzers for years in the early days, this width of neck doesn't feel too much different to the A Profile neck of a Jazz to me. ps - I think the '5' on the Fender neck stamp denotes that it's a Precision, not the actual day of the month, otherwise from experience, all P basses were only made on the 5th of each month !

[/quote] Yes , you're quite correct sir . The digit before the month indicates the model . . . . not the day of the month !
Belka Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Is that bass on consignment at the Gallery by any chance? If it is then I've played it - and it's lovely. It is also ridiculously light - lightest bass I think I've ever picked up!

Probably about the lightest Fender I've ever owned and I've owned quite a few over the years . Really beautiful bass man .

It's probably my favourite ever P Bass and I've been lusting after it ever since. If I wasn't currently in the process of having a '68 Ric restored - which is the 2nd thing to interfere with my projected Limelight purchase (I will get there!) - I would've been very interested in this. I was having some nerve problems with the P body contour but they seem to have settled down for now. Best of luck with the sale, it really is an awesome bass, one of the nicest I've ever played.

steerpike65 Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Hi...I would love to give this a play..am after a preCBS precision, but looking for the right one!
4000 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 How is this still here? I know it's a fair wad of cash but this is a glorious bass.
Squib Posted May 16, 2015 Author Posted May 16, 2015 Pretty big price drop and I'm now losing money on a vintage Fender ??????????? What strange times these are ? Now £ 3150 .00 .
