Very nice. I like that Dakota red finish on these basses. The mods seem to have been done with love and care too, that's not always the case with mods on "student level" Fenders from that era. A few weeks ago I almost bought an unmodded one that was for sale in Italy at a vintage shop. Unfortunately the seller turned out kind of a rude *sshole in the first communication already, so I'll be waiting with patience for the right one that deserves my cash Enjoy 🙂

It has a set neck instead of neck-through construction. -

I've listened to the Unlimited Love quite a few times now and really like most of it. I think it's the best album since Californication. So I'm actually pretty excited that more is coming 🙂

Superb, what is it?

That's correct!

The guard is a modern replacement. Also I doubt the neck is original.. the logo positioning seems a bit weird, and I don't think these are supposed to have a skunk stripe. String tree appears to be lower than usual..

I wouldn't think much of it, other than that it's probably helpfull to get a low action with correct break angle over the bridge saddles. Many old Fenders even came with shims from the factory.

Fender '75 Precision Bass Cool Mocha precision from the '70s. The pickups are dated to 1975, the pots are dated 1974. It's a well playing and good sounding P bass. The neck is straight and adjustable, and allows low action. It's a pretty light instrument too, just a bit below 4kg! with covers unmounted. The neck is pretty small at the nut for a precision at 39/40mm As you can see, the bass has a lot of small damages and honest playwear. The tuners and pots have been replaced, but the original 1974 pots are included in the sale. The chrome covers and thumb rest are not original to this bass. Asking €2700 Ideally I'd offer this bass in a partial trade for a player grade <65 Fender Jazz with Brazil fretboard, max 4kg, and a refinish (as it keeps te value a lot lower). I've got more stuff to add in a trade! Otherwise I'd might be interested in (partial) trades for; old Music Man Sabre with rosewood fretboard, Modulus Flea in fancy finish. And maybe a nice vintage Mustang Bass. The bass is located in the Netherlands. Local pickup is preferred, but I am also happy to ship at buyers risk and expense. Payment wise I accept cash on collection or PayPal friends.

Vintage character or just knackered?
SurroundedByManatees replied to uk_lefty's topic in Bass Guitars
Today even basses from the late 90s get offered as being "vintage" more than once... I've owned a '79 Fender that had soft areas in the dark part of the sunburst. In some places fibres from the case interior were stuck in it. It were just a few little places though, not as bad as the lefty from the reverb listing. -
Classic head from SWR: Its a nice amp with a good sound. I think it works specially well with active basses. I haven't used it for a few months now as I've purchased a louder amp to go with my standalone 8 ohm cab (this head goes as low as 2ohm). Asking €250 I am located in the Netherlands. Its available for local pickup or I can ship at buyers risk and expense.
