mart3442 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) ON HOLD WHILST THE BASS IS AWAY FOR FINGERBOARD MAINTENANCE. Breaks my heart letting this one go, but it doesn't get used and I have a new kitchen to fit. Bought from a fellow basschatter a couple of years ago. A very late '77/early 1978 (Serial no says 1977, neck and pickup dates say 1978) factory fretless Fender Precision. In great condition for a 42 year old Bass, the finish has sunk into the grain in parts on the body, a few little marks here and there,and some lacquer chips on the headstock, but no major dings anywhere. Judging by the crazing in the headstock lacquer, I'd say it's been finished in nitro cellulose. The scratchplate has a slight warp in it, which isn't unusal for this era. The nut has been changed to brass, a long time ago from the looks of it, and likewise, the bridge barrels have also been replaced with brass items. Other than those, and some of the scratchplate and pickup screws, this is a very original instrument. Weight is typical Fender fretless fare, I'd say between 9 and 10 pounds. Not as heavy as the maple necked one I sold on here a few years ago, but meaty enough. A semi rigid case is included with the Bass, but for an extra £60, I'll throw in a Hiscox instead. Happy to courier, (I estimate £30-35 with insurance extra), or any buyer may collect. Any questions, please ask. Cheers.
