roceci Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 These basses need no introduction as their quality is well documented. Absolutely superb fit & finish & quite simply one of the best P basses out there, plays & sounds like a dream. This is an authentic Japanese model from 2011 before production switched to Mexico. Totally stock & in as-new condition apart from one tiny ding on the underside below the tone control as shown in the pics. Zero buckle rash & nominal pickguard scratching due to only ever being used for recording a handful of times in my smoke-free studio. This really is a pristine specimen of a well regarded, discontinued bass. Strung with D'addario EXL nickels. Includes the original thumbrest that shipped with it (never installed) & Fender gig bag. Would prefer collection from Cardiff or nearby but will ship within UK in gigbag & Fender box at buyer's expense & arrangement. Specs:[list] [*]Alder body [*]Gloss urethane body and neck finish [*]Maple neck [*]"C" Shape neck [*]1-Ply black neck binding [*]Maple fretboard [*]20 Vintage-style frets [*]Synthetic bone string nut [*]Block position inlays [*]Vintage-style truss rods [*]4-Bolt "F" stamped neck plate [*]Vintage-style split single-coil Precision Bass pickup [*]Master Volume and Master Tone controls [*]4-Saddle vintage-style bridge with steel saddles [*]Chrome hardware finish [*]Fender '70s vintage-style stamped open-gear tuning machines [*]3-Ply black pickguard [*]Knurled flat-top control knobs [*]Thumb Rest [*]'70s Style Fender logo [*]Scale Length: 34" (864 mm) [*]Fingerboard Radius: 9.5" (241 mm) [*]Nut Width: 1.625" (41.3 mm) [/list] [indent=1][attachment=253990:1.jpg] [attachment=253991:2.jpg] [attachment=253992:3.jpg] [attachment=253993:4.jpg] [attachment=253995:6.jpg] [attachment=253994:5.jpg] [attachment=253996:headstock.jpg] [attachment=253997:headstockback.jpg] [attachment=253998:7.jpg] ...& the ding: [attachment=253999:ding.jpg][/indent] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I think they did indeed. Squier have done a Classic Vibe 70's bass, all in black, with maple board, blocks & bindings I'm sure someone will be here any minute now, with a photo of one, or a catalogue with one in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Yep and Fender did do a Classic 70s Precision, available in white or sunburst, with maple neck/blocks & bindings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deedee Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Gorgeous bass, I have the Olympic White version. Best Fender P I've ever played. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Indeed a lovely looking bass but I think the p basses made in the 70s were dots unless it was a neck swap or maybe a custom build. I don't believe they were a standard product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
