Yes this would be wrong
Ive has loads of 70’s precision basses and have kept just two that both happen to be early 70’s sunburst basses - a rosewood and a maple
I sold most of the others to Martin Petersen at the Bass Gallery
My observations based on these precisions is that on average there is a deterioration through this decade and in to the early 80’s in the following areas:-
1. Weight increases from the ideal 8 to 8 1/2 lbs to over 10lbs
2. The tightness of the neck pocket diminishes
3. The natural resonance when played acoustically diminishes
4. Cost cutting measures increase - single ply guides, three hole bridges, less substantial tuners, etc
5. Problems with body finishes especially black
6. Decreasing attention to body contours so that bodies become more angular
Its against this background that I find the early vintage reissue series started in 1982 such a breath of fresh air and a return to form at fender
For anyone interested in AVRIs I started this gear thread here
