walshy Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Ok so this is possibly the nicest sounding P bass I’ve played, and I’ve had a few. So it’s this or my 66 CAR so I’ll test the water with this first. Fender Precision Bass 1965 PRE CBS Neck Stamped 5 AUG 65C Neck has been refinished with period correct decal now under the lacquer instead of on top. Original tuners Original nut Original frets Body and neck refinished by Clive Brown, THE best in the business Pick ups period correct, can't make out date stamp Screen plate under tort guard. Guard has had some repairs but is still intact and working. Pots dated 50th Week 1964 Correct 0.05 Capacitor - yellow disc Original bridge and saddles CITES certificate present too Weight 3.55KG Super light! Comes with old hard case, non original but very old. No trades and collection welcome, Covid depending. I can courier at buyers expense. In U.K. I have an excellent man with a van courier who will deliver it personally. Edited April 1, 2021 by walshy 29

Phil_T Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 is there a mark on the top horn or does it just appear that way on the photo (second one down)?

Hellzero Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Wow, YOB and MOB for me, but I decided to get back definitely to fretless only. GLWYS. 1 1
Beedster Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 1 hour ago, Beedster said: That bloody map again So, for those of you who do not understand what Walshy's up to, it borrows strongly to the work on classical conditioning of Ivan Pavlov, but is perhaps more in keeping of the methods used by the Soviet block in the 60's and 70's to 'encourage' certain behaviours of their agents. In short, for a few years now Paul has been putting beautiful instruments in front of that map and sofa, which, you will have noticed, are always arranged identically in each listing. The prices, because these are beautiful instruments, are high, but rightly so, many would say below market value. But you watch this space, suddenly there will be Satellites, Columbi, even some of those awful Russian things, and we're all going to be so conditioned by the map and the sofa, that we'll just carry on buying at the same high prices. Do not stare at the map. Repeat, do not stare at the map. 5
Hellzero Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 @Beedster Did you notice that the headstocks are always pointing the Homo valley ? F*ck, I've been staring at the map ! I will call the bank the tomorrow ! 1 2

molan Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Looks very similar to my ‘64 but I think this one must be a fair bit lighter. Great gigging weight 1
