gary mac Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) This is a truly superb example of a P bass. Great build quality and weighing in at a very shoulder friendly 8lb 12oz. All original and everything functions perfectly. The finish is lovely, just a few dings and the paint job is still vivid. Pickguard is not buckled, just the very common crack adjacent to the output socket and plenty of pick marks . Nut measures 42mm. Frets are all good and the trussrod works as it should. Neck pocket is nice and tight. Pot codes dated 38th week of 1974. Neck end stamp. 0103-1255. Which is: P bass. Fretted maple. 12th week. Friday. 1975. The case, which I believe has always been with this bass, is an older and rarer one, issued between 1967-71. The condition is exceptionally good and the catches all function properly. It also comes with Fender hang tag and the original owner’s manual. This is one of the best seventies Fender basses that I’ve owned and I’m not really sure about selling it. I might well decide to sell a few others and keep this one to gig with. Anyway, it’s up for sale at the moment. I would much prefer collection from my place in Herts. If this isn’t possible I will be happy to post but only with a courier of my choice and with proper insurance. Let me know and I will get a quote. For sale at £2,450. I’m not looking for trades at the moment and offers by pm only, thanks. Cash or bank transfer. Edited November 5, 2018 by gary mac 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Defintely. Don't sell that, man. You'll regret it. Some numpty will buy it, lose the artwork and smack it into cymbals and never realise what it is. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnTse Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 A friend of mine used to have one of these in his studio. Fantastic instrument, a pleasure to record and a really versatile instrument. One day he decided to sell it. He needed the money. Still regrets it. Actually he can not even bear to hear the word "precision". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that someone shelling out £2.5k might realise what it is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
