Hi,

Here is my 2018 American Original 60s precision, begrudgingly up for sale.

I don’t play in a band anymore and unlikely to in the future,so,alas, it has to go.

I have owned plenty guitars over the years, this has been the best sounding, most playable, best feeling, gives most pleasure.

It has served me well at gigs , forever receiving compliments on its sound.

Comes with Fender tweed case, the original was black, I believe.

In Lake Placid Blue, it has been fitted with white pick up covers, although the original black ones are supplied, I quite like the white ones, so left them on.

It has a few dings here and there in the nitro finish, but isn’t that why we like it so much?

Neck is straight and apparently the shape,and wood, is the best on any bass at this level.

Comes with all case candy, pick up and bridge covers, certificate of authenticity etc.

Weighs 3.9kg

I think the price is right, look at the price of new ones nowadays, I really will be sad to see this go, no silly offers please and is sale only, I have no need for any trades.

Collection from Warrington would be best, but open to discuss other options to meet up, I’m sorry but won’t courier this.

Thanks for looking, any more info you need, send me a pm and I’ll do my best for you,

Cheers

Lloyd.

Here’s some blurb from Fender:

By the 1960s, the Precision Bass was the workhorse electric bass; from the clubs of Detroit to the beaches of Southern California, its tone laid the foundation for modern music. The American Original ‘60s Precision Bass has all of the features with which the P Bass conquered the world of music—elegantly simple, its sound, style and comfort are joined by modern playability.

The nitrocellulose lacquer finish not only lets the body breathe with its true tonal character, it also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way.

American Original instruments feature specially voiced pickups crafted to reproduce authentic Fender sound.

This Precision Bass features a “C”-shaped neck profile delivered straight from 1963 to your hands. Remarkably comfortable, it suits any playing style.

Original-era fans can rest assured every curve and line of the body and neck are accurate to the historic originals.

From the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of hardware is just like the original.

This 9.5”-radius fingerboard is slightly flatter than a vintage-style 7.25” radius, providing a comfortable fret-hand feel. Vintage-tall frets make it easier to add vibrato to your basslines.
