*SOLD* Fender 1975 Precision Bass All Original £2,400 £2500 Milton Keynes

[Muppet]

I purchased this from GaryMac a few years ago but I’ve barely played it. The text and photos below are his, as they are extremely accurate, but I am happy to provide additional photos on request. 

This is a truly superb example of a P bass. Great build quality and weighing in at a very shoulder friendly 8lb 12oz.

All original and everything functions perfectly. The finish is lovely, just a few dings and the paint job is still vivid.

Pickguard is not buckled, just the very common crack adjacent to the output socket and plenty of pick marks .

Nut measures 42mm. Frets are all good and the trussrod works as it should. Neck pocket is nice and tight. 

Pot codes dated 38th week of 1974.

Neck end stamp. 0103-1255. Which is: P bass. Fretted maple. 12th week. Friday. 1975.

The case, which I believe has always been with this bass, is an older  and rarer one, issued between 1967-71. The condition is exceptionally good and the catches all function properly.

It also comes with Fender hang tag and the original owner’s manual.

 

I don’t want to post. I’m happy to meet halfway or for it to be collected. No trades thanks Revised price £2,400.

The Knoxville sticker is worth the price of entry alone!

Haha good idea, but the rosewood is in ‘players’ condition and nowhere near as nice as this one..

It will end when you stop thinking you want a jazz or a PJ and buy this.  There’s always a simple solution to seemingly complicated scenarios.
