*SOLD Fender Precision Bass 1971 £2500 West Midlands WV149PU

[geoff90guitar]

 

Original sunburst r/w.  Feels and plays great. Nice warm evenly balanced sound.
Gigged with this bass for many years all over the country. 
The neck shape is not chunky but not modern standard, probably D shape. The back of the neck was lightly lacquered many years ago before I bought it, but is nice. Frets are still good. Body needs a clean if you're fussy.
Pots date 16th week of 1971
Light, around 3.4kg
Comes with Black Rat ABS case.
Any further pics/Q’s please request.

You are welcome to collect personally, if driving is permissible. You can plug in and trial if you wish and I’ll observe the ‘distances’

If shipping/posting is required, I’d rather you arrange your own as you may want to price to fully insure, whatever. Printer available. It would be bubble wrapped/heavy duty cardboard etc and I will be available here almost anytime to suit you.

Cheers

Geoff

Coseley, West Midlands

This is giving me the vapours - the coolest bass I’ve seen in ages.  About as rock’n’roll as it gets. One of BC’s most upstanding members too. Truly lovely

Yeah it’s a beauty. Mojo for days!!

Is it me or there is a difference between sunbursts on top and back of the body (2tone vs 3tone)?

The photo of the front with pickguard removed shows some red but the rest has been bleached by UV exposure. It's not unusual for the main body under the pickguard not to have red.

I actually like those discoloured sunbursts... 

Lovely bass in all aspects!
