0353203 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Hi All, Up for sale is my late 73 / early 74 Fender P in its original custom colour Candy Apple Red with its OHSC. Super light at 8.5lbs. Mojo is the watchword here - if you are searching for a terrific relic with a players past.....look no further !! This bass looks as cool as they come and has clearly been lovingly played for many years - just look at the pics below. Dings, dongs, buckle-rash, edge wear, finish loss etc on both neck and body. It has had the pups re-wound (at Gruhn Guitars, Nashville) and plays and sounds enormous with a low action all the way up the twiddly end - the pick guard is a repro and the nut has been replaced. The frets have plenty of life left - difficult to say if its had a refret (the tangs look untouched) but let's assume yes....or at least a decent fret dress. You would imagine so with this level of play wear on the bass itself. The original case is in decent condition (all 3 latches work) - the handle is taped and it has some band name markings on it sprayed by a previous owner. Feel free to PM me with any questions or to arrange to come and view / play with no obligation whatsoever. Cheers, Si Edited January 10, 2018 by 0353203 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0353203 Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 I've had a few questions about the neck width - it is a "B" in Fender terminology (1 5/8 inch at the nut). Cheers, Si Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
