SOLD: 1973 P Fender Bass Sunburst/Maple- Superb £1,750 £1850

[Old Horse Murphy]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]For trade is a transitional period 73/4 P bass that looks like it has hardly been played - with a dead straight neck that plays with a low action right the way up the neck - and growls like only a P bass can.[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Weighing in at just over 8.1lbs and with just one or two dings and dongs, this is a terrific bass. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]A couple of pieces of wiring have been changed and the original pickups have been given additional copper shielding for better noise cancellation when playing live and it has a Brass nut fitted too (currently strung with DR Sunbeams) and includes the bridge and pickup covers. There is no case though.[/font][/color]

This was sourced through a very reliable and highly regarded Basschatter. Given his expertise on all things Fender, I am as confident of the provenance and description of this bass as I can be.

I'm looking for £1,750 and don't think you'd find a cleaner version of this vintage. I'm willing to post for cost but the Bass can also be picked up from Woking (weekends) or Bristol (weekdays).

Is it a 1.75" or 1.5" nut?

Generally 1.75" but I had a lovely '72 with a 1.5" for a while

[Old Horse Murphy]

Hi Barrie. Hope you're well

It's 1.75"

That is a very nice Precision Nick. I hope you find your rosewood board.

I think I just saw a rosewood version on here.

@Old Horse Murphy - what sort of trades are you looking for?

Thanks!

Would consider trades for a Stingray 5 in good condition and lightweight but would need £900 cash too
