Good price for a '62, even a refin. But not many pics and zilch description... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know much more than that though. Ran it through DVLA out of curiosity and it’s not had an MoT recently. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) I tend to follow jazzes and I don’t do fb, but I would ask the seller for more pics, especially, the neck heel and pocket, the pot stamps and the pickups and as much info as possible 🙂,it’s a cool looking Precision Edited June 10, 2021 by Reggaebass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverBlackman Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 If you’re truly interested you would ask for a phone number, talk to them, arrange a visit ect. Price is a bit steep for a private seller though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Whatever the details are, calling it mint isn't exactly accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the word ‘mint’ is now used as urban slang to mean nice, which indeed the bass may possibly be 😀. I do agree though that it doesn’t fall within the traditional definition of mint, especially since it has been refinished, albeit some years ago.

Doctor J Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Just as well he didn't call it 'bad', I suppose 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowf Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 I messaged the seller asking for more details on originality etc., and was overwhelmed by the deluge of information he responded with: "Original covers but no original case " That's cleared everything up then. Now where did I put my chequebook? 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggaebass Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Vintage fenders are always a minefield, there are some really nice ones out there that have good authentication, but they are highly priced, I’m always sceptical about low priced ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Just asked for some more photos (pots/pick-ups etc). He’s ‘digging them out’ for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
