gary mac Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) Well, I've now purchased another vintage P bass, so this is definitely up for sale. I'm not looking for trades at present. My all original 1966 Precision, including its original case, which just like the bass, is in great condition. The finish looks great, there is of course some wear and crazing just as you would expect but the colour remains vibrant. All hardware functions perfectly. Electrics work flawlessly. Solder and wiring is all original, nothing has been tampered with. Frets are very good still and the neck is lovely. Weight is about 8lb 12 oz. Width at nut 43 mm. Fretboard radius is 7.25. Plenty of pics down below, can always email more. Price is £4850. Now £4750. For a while, I'm dropping the price to £4,500. For an all original, in this condition, I think it represents very good value, particularly when comparing with dealer prices. Collection much preferred, I'm in Herts. Happy to discuss posting but only if insured and with a trusted courier service. Please note this is NOT included within my price. Payment, cash or bank transfer. Pay Pal if the buyer is willing to cover the fees. Edited April 8, 2018 by gary mac
Roger2611 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Wow my YOB bass.....now where's that spare five grand I left lying about
Normski Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 Gary that is a wonderful looking Precision! It would look great next to the 66 Jazz that I bought from your very self but alas funds won’t stretch at the moment. Great seller. GLWTS

Lozz196 Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 That really is stunning, Gary. Am very glad my Mum & Dad had the sense to bring me into the world in 65 or I would be flogging my very soul to own this cracker. 1
chrisanthony1211 Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Now that would do very nicely indeed.....

Conan Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 YOB for me too. And a stunning example. Unfortunately I need a car and to decorate the house. The mundane intrudes on my dreams once again... Good luck with the sale (not that you'll need it I suspect!).
discreet Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Wow, what a fantastic bass. A really nice example. And that tort..! I could literally look at it all day.
Steve Browning Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 Change your mind and keep it. My pic is me playing my 66 and it's just a brilliant bass. KEEP IT!!!!!!!!!!!
CH161 Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 Fantastic bass Gary, great to see an unmolested 66P. Getting harder to find examples like this these days.
gary mac Posted October 21, 2017 Author Posted October 21, 2017 Time for a bump and a thanks for the all the positive comments.

[/quote] If it doesn't go soon, then I reckon I'll miss the opportunity for the one that I wanted to go for, in which case I will be keeping it. Not much of a hardship though

[/quote] Win-win, really. And if you keep it, we know where it is and there is always the possibility of it being available in future.

TheGreek Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 I think that this is one of those that the price isn't the issue - dropping £100 won't entice anybody who didn't already have the cash and wanted this and the advertised price isn't that expensive for a bass like this - you've only got to look at the Andy Baxter site to see. Eventually somebody born in '66 with the money will be along and snap this up. Till then it'll be eye candy for all the P lovers here. Having said that, GLWTS.

discreet Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 Gary, I'm going to start saving. If it's still available in 238 weeks, please let me know.
