0353203 Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) Hi All, Up for sale is my 1966 Fender Precision Bass with its OHSC. 100% original apart from a replacement pickup ash-tray cover. In terrific condition with a few dings, dongs and rear scratches and light buckle wear. Quite an example - the sunburst is still very vibrant. Lightweight at 8lb 10oz and plays with a low action all the way up the neck. Feel free to arrange to play/view with no obligation. Cheers, Si Edited August 26, 2019 by 0353203 13

Soledad Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 Exactly like Larry Graham played at Woodstock with Sly Stone, through an Acoustic (360? or earlier). Pup cover on, bridge cover off. Saw that pic years later and that pic alone made me get my first Precision.(sunburst). Damn they are just SO good.
bootleg Posted April 2, 2019 Posted April 2, 2019 I've said this before, but I reckon Si is a time traveller. 1

cascanicoff Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 It is extremely beautiful and it looks in superb condition. Man, did you have the axe in the case for the last 50 years? I am younger than the bass and I look worse off...

I know the bass you mean, but it was David Brown with Santana: 1

Santana it was - well spotted. I had a pic lying around years later (from Melody Maker I think) and that sunburst P was just the best thing. Funny, never much liked Santana either. Alan Spenner with the Grease Band doing Little Help, on the other hand (another Precision I recall?) - wow. Sorry thread divergence. Just keeping this 66 P top of list where it belongs

I'm not suggesting that beauty is anything other than original!
