ash Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) Fretless Fender Precision USA from 1976. I bought this recently and it needed some TLC - the last owner told me that they bought it as a 75/76 Fender fretless with a refinish and PJ pickup set however I believe it’s a bitsa as the body looks like a copy and though routed pre 76 it appears later. There is a small repair on the headstock near the E string it doesn’t effect the playability or stability of the neck. The pickups are Schaller as is the bridge. The fretless board has an old repair toward the body end that is stable. The nut has been replaced - the bass has more of a Jazz nut width compared to my ‘78 see last pic. It’s light at under 4kgs and has been strung with Roto black nylons. The skunk stripe can be felt slightly near the neck joint as if it is not flush however the neck is solid enough. The serial plate is original as are the neck, tuners and string tree. Truss rod works. It plays really well and sounds nice although the pickups are punchy they are a bit buzzy so I was going to add more shielding. I’m selling it as is and for what it owes me. It’s a play as is or one for modding. Cheap and cheerful fretless vintage Fender (at least in part). No trades. More pics to follow. UK only I’m willing to post boxed in a cheap gigbag at your expense. Edited September 12, 2020 by ash Withdrawn for sale elsewhere 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
