Looks in very good condition for the year , as above some of the mid to late 70s ones can be pretty heavy so you might ask about the weight, I’d try to get the price down too if you’re thinking of getting it, good luck
I don’t take any notice of the weight myself and I don’t mind heavy basses, strangely I don’t really like ones that are too light, but if you’ve had a back problem then standing with it might be uncomfortable after a while, cool bass though
Out of interest what do you make of this, https://reverb.com/uk/item/78434635-fender-precision-bass-1959-body-sunburst
I’m thinking it’s maybe not a 59 body, from what I understand they didn’t have a paint stick mark or a date in the neck pocket?, looks more late 60s-early 70s
I’ve been going through my Matumbi which I do every now and again ,and I’d forgotten how good this Bassline is, might have to brush up on it the weekend
I wouldn’t say I crave it but I’ve always liked the look of the Ida Nielsen signature, I don’t like gold hardware but it looks cool , I’m guessing I’d play it for a while then it would sit in the rack
How about some Tony Tuff from around 1980
and a track I can’t get enough of lately from the album Hi Yo by Keith Foundation, a great Bassline to play by Robbie Shakespeare
When you say ,This bridge is fixed into drilled holes. It ain't moving, do you mean it’s recessed or something or the screws are just really tight, do you have a pic stew
Hi bobby, I normally just call them on 01621 857853 uk , they don’t come on here much these days ,but you could try and send a private message to the tag Spondon has given above and it will go to their email, good luck
My guess would be it been exposed to moisture too, you’d need to check that the truss rod is ok and working, it might be ok , also check the fretboard closely and the join/glue to the neck
