SOLD - 1964 Fender Precision - Sunburst

1964 Fender Precision in Sunburst All original, no modifications, no swap outs and no refrets. I purchased this from Andy Baxter Basses - I still have the original invoice in the case if you want to check it out for provenance etc. Neck date is showing October 1964 - this was likely assembled and finished late 1964. Showing an L-Series Serial Number. Brazilian Rosewood board, clay dots, reverse tuners. I'd say the pickup is a mid-range output for a bass of this date. Currently strung with Chromes. Action is low - just under 1.8mm top end to just over 2mm lower end. As with any bass of this vintage, it's the pictures that count.. I can take more if you want to see anything specifically. Comes with original case, and original bridge/pickup covers with screws. No Trades. No overseas shipments at all. As I'm out and about with work all over the place anyway (despite the current situation!) I will most likely hand deliver myself given the cost - but we can discuss. £5500

ACG RetroB P5 Bought directly from Alan end of 2018. Has had very little use since then. Number 0282 - details on the site are here: http://www.acguitars.co.uk/project/0282-retrob-5-2/ Body is Alder with a Figured Maple top, Neck is 1 piece Birdseye Maple with an Acrylic Impregnated Maple board. Satin finish. Electronics: ACG PB Split Coil with an East P-Retro preamp - gives Stack1: Volume, Tone (active or passive), Stack2: Dual Boost, Frequency (active only), Switches for parallel/serial and active/passive. Pretty much unmarked - there's the odd tiny mark here and there if you go looking for it, but nothing substantial at all. Comes with a Hiscox hard case. No Trades. No posting outside the UK £1100

ACG Finn 4 Natural Finish. This is a special number which was originally built for a charity Cricket event (I am led to believe). I acquired it from @Bigwan a couple of years ago. Lockdown clearout and a move to pretty much only playing Fretless (a la Shuker Uberhorn) means it's up for sale. It doesn't have a hard case, but there is a gig bag that came with it. Stack 1: Volume, Tone (Active and Passive), Stack 2: Dual Boost, Frequency (Active only) , Parallel/Serial switching and Active/Passive switching. Simple, good, solid, reliable handmade 4 string! No Trades. No Posting outside the UK. £600

There is a bit of me that would actually let the 64P go and use the money to get a stupidly expensive fretless - something like a Fodera or a Wal or summit. It's just sitting here on the wall at the moment not getting played. Which is actually pretty bloody tragic.
-
You got eyes for the green 51P huh? It's currently got a one off ric-o-like single coil in it which is properly rude and naughty.. but suits it very well
-
Heh - yeah he is.. It's a great bass - lightweight, and has a unique tone being hollow. It cost very little actually - I'd say probably about £300 all in including some custom hardware and a hand wound pickup. It does sorely need de fretting tho....

I reckon it had about 6 coats on. Cut back in between and buffed. Nice and satin. It's actually a great bass. Got Grainger hardware on it and a custom wound split coil 51P pickup. Funnily enough it would be No.1 candidate for a fretless conversion.. hmm...

If you leave plenty of drying time between coats and let it build then it does a good satin finish. You could go gloss, but it would take a helluva time!

The truss rod was of an older rather odd two way design. It decided to dump its weld and split - the tension in it kicked out and cracked the back of the neck. The new rod can’t do this, and it actually keeps the neck a lot straighter anyway - pretty much transformed it’s playability
-
I hate to admit it but that does look really good mate. You’ve learned some valuable lessons on spraying and next time you do a build you’ll use tru oil 😂

Really interested in how you approached it and what you did mate.. I am quite tempted to try a de fret and see how it works out!
-
Yes, agreed. I think I'd have gone for anything other than a white pickup cover tho!
-
That's not a looker, to be honest...
