1962 Fender Precision Refinished Big Drop - *SOLD* £6650 N Ireland

[briansbrew]

Need this gone folks so im taking roughly 10% off the asking price, I can also accept a holding deposit to allow the new buyer some time to pay,  Now only £5950, has to be a bargain for this lovely vintage P bass

 

I had no intention of ever selling this for a good few years at least but due to a big domestic change in my life I have no choice as I need to raise the much needed funds....

 

So I acquired this from the owner who had bought it in 1968 and used it up until 2000 or so and in 2014 decided to get it re-fretted and finished in its original colour of Fiesta Red

I have the invoice from Ray Cooper Guitars in Herts outlining the work he carried out

 

Body striped and refinished

Neck striped and refinished and refretted, new logo

Changed out the pots and new pickguard fitted and pickguard screws changed

The original scratchplate is there with the metal plate that was under it but he had his name ( Brian ) properly etched below the thumbrest

I had bought a 60's Plate that I got from walshy and used that instead

 

The new pots have now been replaced with a set of 1966 ones with the proper tone cap, not cheap..

The tuners have now got a set of 1962 Klusons fitted as the previous owner didnt like the reverse ones and installed the later models

 

It has been refinished to a very high standard and the neck is just sublime with a lovely flame at the back, weight is 3.55 Kg's

One of the leads came off the back of the pickup when dismanteled but has now been resoldered on

The previous owner did not play it at all since it was refinished so that is why he decided to sell and enjoy his retirement

This work cost £1080 in total, invoice will be in the case

 

The Fender case is from 1968 and is in a s new condition with the locking key , it was kept in a bag under the bed and never used

 

Just a few pics now but I will upload a lot more tomorrow

I have priced this due to the refinish and the non original pots but I know that the new owner will not be dissapointed, it really is a cracking bass

 

Serious offers will be considered, case can be removed from the sale to help reduce the price if that helps.

 

Any questions guys please fire away

Yes mate the pick guard you bought from me came from a 1962 P bass in Candy Apple Red. 

 

Sorry you're having to sell this one, definitely a keeper in other circumstances I bet. Looks a beauty
