These are great, added to a CMD121p is the perfect rig..

[quote name='Sibob' timestamp='1483886267' post='3210830'] Thank goodness you're not near me, trying that would be dangerous!! My '71 P would not be happy lol GLWTS, it's a stunner Si [/quote] I could be tempted with late 60's or early 70's Precisions as part payment if anyone is interested...

[quote name='sblueplanet' timestamp='1483903392' post='3211017'] Bass looks great. Im sure a nicely reliced refin of that sonic blue over sunburst would look just as dandy. GLWTS [/quote] I thought about it, but I have an AVRI in Sonic blue so decided to keep it as it is..

Sounds very nice through your old B-15 Chris!!!

[quote name='Macker5' timestamp='1483888435' post='3210851'] I have never seen a Fender Bass case looking like that one though! [/quote] Just read on Guitarhq that Canadian cases were slightly different to European cases in the early 60s as they sourced them locally. Although it looks to be the traditional tweed underneath a black.

This is from the guitarhq page In early 1964, Fender moved to a black tolex case with the (same) dark orange interior. This type of case was basically used till the end of the 1970's, with some minor changes (mostly the exterior logo). Early 1964 to 1965 cases have no exterior "Fender" logo. This bass was actually originally sold in Canada and imported to the U.K.

Photobucket woes overcome and photos finally uploaded. I don't think it helped that my iPad 4 is struggling to keep up with the latest IOS operating systems and is getting slower, and slower, and slower, and slower, and slower. As you can see on the photos, some bloke called Charlie has written his name on the neck heel where there is a R.R stamp, my understanding is that this is again in connection with it going back to Fender for the sonic blue custom colour.

Yep, adverts galore slowing everything down....

Looks like I shall be adding them one at a time, the sodding thing keeps crashing and I keep losing the post....

Price drop to £3300 I have two 1964 Fender Precisions and one of them has to go, it's been a hard decision as they both have different things about them that I love, but I'm going to keep the Fiesta red and sell this one which has been stripped back to its natural wood at some point in its long history. This is a late 64 model and so has the pearloid fret inlays but clay dot markers, but it has the most fantastic neck I've ever played, only 53 years and wear and sweat can make a neck look and feel like this! Original nut and frets which have plenty of life left and a beautiful Brazilian rosewood board. A couple of the clay dots have dropped out of the fret markers which I thought about filling with something but decided against it as they just add to the mojo... It has SB burnt into the wood under the pickguard with a soldering iron, my understanding is that this would have left the factory as a sunburst as all Precisions did back then, and then gone back to the Fender factory to get a custom Sonic Blue over the top following a customer request. It has an AVRI 63 reissue pickguard which I think are pretty good copies. My Fiesta red has an original mint pickguard on and they have the colour match pretty spot on, everything else on this bass is original, pots 3046421 and neck stamp December 64, with original black bottom pickups, most of the wiring looks original too. I have thought about getting it back to its previous original condition, Sonic Blue over sunburst, but I quite like it as it is! I found an article on "Fender bass player" which list the top 10 Fender years and has 1964 as the best! And this old girl just sneaks in.... http://fenderbassplayer.com/top-10-vintage-fender-bass-years It also comes with the original 1964 case which are getting pretty rare these days and often sell on their own for more than a lot of guitars. This has obviously done its job pretty well over the decades of protecting the bass and shows it's battle scares. It has a few repairs and bumps but is still very sturdy and complements this bass very well. I'm not looking to post this so you can either come over to me (North Notts) and give her a blast through my B-15, or we could meet up somewhere. Photos will come, photo bucket and basschat page being a git...
