1974 Fender Precision *Pricedrop* - *WITHDRAWN* £2950 Edinburgh

[Edenburgh]

Update (22 April) : Price dropped from £2950 to £2750.

 

Ok, I've hummed and hawed about selling this for a while but decided now to move it on.   Was my main gigging bass for a few years but now the (lighter) Deakey P bass is getting all the action.

Ash body with a really vibrant sunburst, nice dark rosewood fingerboard.

Strung with Ernie Ball flats (medium/high tension allowing you to dig in) and the foam strip is fitted under the bridge ashtray.  Lovely low action with no buzz.  It really plays a dream.

There's a small repair to the scratchplate at the jack end - it had cracked at the end, professionally done using a small black washer for a discrete fix.

Has Schaller straplocks fitted, the originals are included.

The bridge pickup cover is a genuine Fender replacement part.

B width neck.   10lbs on the bathroom scales. 

Non original Fender case included.  Happy to field any questions.

Hi all, I've been asked to provide some 'under the hood' photos.

First time I've taken it apart.

Tone pot looks like a replacement.

Goodness knows what the pickup stamps are, same for the neck date.  Anyhoo, here for all to see!

Reminds me of the ‘76 I had that looked the same. Why did I trade it ?

Because GAS is a cruel mistress and clouds judgement. Been there, feel your pain.

Open to sensible offers around the reduced price...bump.

[ossyrocks]

I honestly don’t understand why this bass is still here! 
 

Lovely thing it is.

Bass ( just the neck maybe? ) looks like it was finished in Week 17 of 1974: 22nd - 29th April. Inspection was the week after.

Bumpity bump, still available for sensible offers....
