Here I have for sale a 1974 Fender P in sunburst

When I got this bass it had been sprayed in red some years ago which happened quite a lot back in the 70's/80's

Luckily I managed to remove the paint without damaging the beautiful burst underneath, this took a long time and was a very slow process

Funnily that he only removed the pickguard and taped over the pickups when it was sprayed and the cavities were intact, the red you see now was

my doing when I rubbed down the paint and it ran into the cavities

I applied a coat of clear nitro to protect the colour

The pickguard was shipped from the USA as the one on it was a cheap aftermarket one, this one is a vintage RI aged which cost £100

Previous owner was a thumb digger judging by the divot he left 

Some of the screws may or may not be original

Truss rod is working fine

Plenty of life in the frets

I snapped the G string in case you were wondering, if I get a new set this week I will install them

Pots are original and dated 73 and the pickups are dated 74

Nut Width is 40mm

Weight is 4.00Kg's which is quite good for this era

I am not playing bass anymore but I still like to dabble in fixing up and restoring guitars to keep me busy

Any question please fire away

I’m kind of along those dates too , I don’t think of anything over 79 as being vintage, we’ve chatted about this before and I think people of different ages have different ideas 

Then are we ourselves classed as Vintage people 🙄

Have you still got the other set David

Here we have a lovely 3 tone sunburst Marcus Miller in beautiful condition bar 2 very small dings which you have to look hard to find

Virtually no fret wear

Some scuffing to the scratchplate

Truss rod working fine and electrics all good

Weight is 4.2 Kg's

Currently strund with a nice set of fresh flats

Postage to the UK is included in the price, if you require a case for it then let me know and I will see what I can do

Thanks for looking and any questions please fire away

wow the person backed out. Shocking. I was watching it as thought it would go for around 900. Just under 800 is a bargain. I was wondering if you had a reserve on it

I didnt put a reserve on it, I paid £1250 for it so was hoping for clsoe to that given what they go for

That is out of order. 

Totally, wasted my time 😒

Open to offers guys as I need this gone and you wont find another one of these at this price 😉

Someone got a bargain then! 😮

Unfortunately the buyer backed out this morning so still available..

Why is this still here 🤫

Quick question guys, is a Herbie Gastelum neck more desirable than other Fender necks

Bass direct have got a 78 P in, it says the nut is 44mm , I’ve never seen this on a 78 or maybe a miss measure 

https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/product/fender-precision-bass-white-1978-pre-owned/

My 77P is 42mm so possibly a mistake on the listing

Last price drop for this week, great price for a Yamaha 2000

Regarding the ‘62 Jazz, it might be the angle the pic was taken but to my eyes some of the fretwork looks a little off at the dusty end.

 

It may be my eyes, so more than happy for someone to hurl Mr Magoo references my way!

Im with you on that one Mick, looks like the tang is out of the groove...

Nice straight neck and the frets are in good condition with minimal wear, neck is a slim C shape and not chunky

Nut width is 40mm

Truss rod works fine both ways, all electrics working

 A great vintage Fender Precision which I hope will make someone happy as I no longer play, price is firm and will include postageto UK addresses
