eBay bargain, 1971 Fender Precision all original buy it now for £950, very good condition, I bit his hand off.....

They're expecting it to be in the shop and ready to ship next Wednesday, the biggest problem is that I've had so much time to wish I'd gotten a different colour, or spec, I know I'll love it though once I finally get it!

ETA was May........I think they've been busy, I'd rather have the wait and for them to get the build quality right, but with so many great basses around and 1k in my pocket it's a constant temptation, they said it should be sent out next week :-)

How long is too long to wait for a new bass? Been waiting for my sandberg since January.......a grand burning a hole in my pocket when there are all these basses that want me to buy them!

I have a P bass, I have a J Bass, I don't have a PJ, am I missing out, what's the deal with these, are they worth having? Are they really the best of both?

Sandberg have recently changed the design of their California series, what are basschatters thoughts on this new design, Hit, Miss or Maybe.........

Not got my Sandberg yet, been waiting since January for my custom build California TT tobacco sunburst with ebony fretboard, it should hopefully be ready in the next couple of weeks. Anyone seen or tried the 2015 California's? There are a few differences with the new models and wanted to see what people think?

Thanks, I think that answers my question, they were available in 1960! Really love the way these pickguards age to a mint green, very beautiful ! Im actually eyeing up a 59/60 precision at the moment with three ply white pick guard and wasn't sure it was original as all the ones I could find on the web had the gold aluminium. It could fit quite nicely as the serial number puts it 59/60, slab neck and no date pencilled on the neck which is correct for the period! If they started using these pickguards around this time too.....

Quick question, in the course of researching vintage precisions I found little on pickguards, when did fender start using the three ply WBW on Precisions, could you get them as far back as 1960?
