Only he could outbid Sting on that beauty 😍

Suspiciously good ?

[SICbass]

Did they have string-through bridges back then? I honestly didn’t know.

String through body until 1957 I believe

It actually still has the mute under the back cover,gigged( very gently) yesterday with it,kept the pup cover on as the earth wire sits under it.

[AndyTravis]

Well…that’s a beauty.

 

Had a Fender CS55 relic (just like stings bass) and I regret selling it daily. 
 

Congratulations - if you ever need a babysitter for it…🥸

Agreed that the condition is almost worryingly good, but the finish on those very early Precisions does seem to have been less prone to checking. Here's my very early 1957:

 

 

Now compare that to my 1966:
