Cool Murray, thanks for sharing!

Hopefully I can post a lot more soon.....it really is quite special.

Well I do have information on it but it's 100% not for sale jezzaboy.  I'll post more details and pictures once I get permission.

I can say that I believe it to be made in 1961 and was refinished in the long distant past....possibly originally red, as so many were back then thanks to Jet Harris.  It has some incredible play wear, has had many parts replaced over the years, has a Fender hipshot tuner as mentioned in the thread, and plays beautifully.  The neck is to die for.

I have this bass and Dave's spare in for a couple of very minor repairs so hopefully he won't mind me posting more close up pics of the bass soon.

The thread metions Dave giving away a P Bass on the TV show Swap Shop.  I'm reliably informed that the bass he gave away was one he made himself. Talented man.

I know this is a really old thread but are any of you fellas still interested in Dave Peacock's Precision Bass?
