1974 Fender Precision Bass - Sunburst.

Ā 

Another reluctant sale due to some building work I have to get done at home.

This is a great player, lovely tone with some typical looks from the era.Ā  The finish is so thin on top of a finished natural body.Ā  I played this as my main bass for a very long time, lovely feel and a very typical tone for the 70ā€™s Fenders.

Ā 

4KG. On the nose. (According to my Amazon Basics luggage scale)

Pickups - Rewound by Iainā€™s Guitar Repairs in Glasgow, about 5 years ago.Ā  The old windings completely gave up on one side so this had to be done.

Paint - Tired?Ā  Itā€™s a very thin finish.

Frets - Good.Ā  Original.

Neck - Lacquered and in good straight condition, truss rod works fine.

Pots - I replaced the tone pot when I first bought the bass, it was far too noisy, I kept the old one in case.

Scratchplate - I donā€™t think this is the original, unless Fender sourced them from somewhere else in the 70ā€™s??Ā  Itā€™s correct as black but not badged as a Fender product.Ā  Looks the part though.Ā  Thereā€™s also a Fender original replacement included, in 60ā€™s tortoise shell.

Tuners - Original.

Pickup and Bridge covers, original and all present and correct, including the thumb rest.Ā  I donā€™t have screws for the pickup cover, but these can be sourced easily enough.

Case - Pretty poor quality item, not original but will suffice.

Ā 

Shipping - Arrange it yourself, I can get good guitar boxes through my job so the bass will be well packed but Iā€™d rather collect, drop off, meet up etc, just for safety.

Ā 

No trades please, I need the money.

Ā 

These basses are becoming so much more collectable and expensive these days, this one is very playable and LIGHT, some of them, (Iā€™ve had a few) are very heavy and numb, this one not so.Ā  Itā€™s a good one.Ā  Nearly 50 years old.Ā  Like Me. (Iā€™m a 74 too)
