Chewie Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) 1972 Fender precision in natural finish Nut width, 42mm. B profile neck. 4.2kg including the covers. 100% original. Original scratchplate shown in the final images. I think this was a studio bass. It's in lovely condition. There are a couple of little dings and the faintest beginning of buckle rash but they're difficult to photograph. There is a typical crack on the scratchplate next to the imput jack. The case is absolutely time warp condition. It's dazzling inside. Quite amazing really. No keys though. The neck is stamped 1972 as are the pickups and pots. Truss rod works perfectly. Neck pocket is nice and snug too. Beautiful sounding bass. Tons of tone. Located in sunny Swindon. Anybody is welcome to visit and spend a few hours inspecting and playing this lovely bass. Trades-wise, I could be interested in anything 1969, which is my YOB. Edited June 12, 2020 by Chewie 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soledad Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) An absolute stonker. Natural with white plate suits the early 70s very well, dead right. And the paler original tone under the covers, nice. The nut's immaculate - it's a timewarp 👍 p.s. anyone know when they stopped the foam damper strip under the bridge cover? I'm assuming around CBS transition, maybe '66 or so? Edited January 2, 2020 by Soledad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming around CBS transition, maybe '66 or so? I’ve just had a closer look & you can see where it once was. Also, unless I dreamt it, my ‘78 Antigua has them. I’ll check later and report in... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
