Sibob Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 So after recently selling my 1983 US Fender Jazz, last night I went over to 99sters and picked up a 1971 Precision All original, with it's case, both covers (although only bridge fitted). [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/848/22622810150185321817091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/62/22696810150185321972091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/23072610150185322072091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/861/23094810150185322342091.jpg/"][/url] I can't wait to gig this bad boy, nice and light, setup beautifully by Andy Viccars. Whilst I had it out, thought I'd take some 'family' photos: 1973 Jazz Bass [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/156/23052310150185322507091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/828/23080210150185322797091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/16/22624310150185322647091.jpg/"][/url] [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/543/24850010150185325872091.jpg/"][/url] Uploaded with [url="http://imageshack.us"]ImageShack.us[/url] cont. below Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarethFlatlands Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 It's the '73 Jazz for me. Always had a hankering for a 'busrt Jazzmaster with block inlays and the corresponding bass looks as good, if not better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary mac Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Oh lordy. I want. Congrats on scoring yourself a truly lovely looker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 Cheers guys, really looking forward to gigging the Precision tonight and tomorrow! One thing I've noticed about the others, is that the 5 string has a much more 'vintage burst' than the 2003, I know that red is the first to go from a burst, but the middle is also much more yellow. The 2003 is almost two-tone, orange to black. I keep thinking one day I'll have it refinished to two-tone.....it'll never be worth anything.......right!?

[/quote] Haha, thanks?! The white bits look mucky, they're not, but it's that rug material that has a different shade depending on the direction of the pile.....I have no idea what I'm talking about! I've gigged the precision 4 times since I picked it up (5th and 6th time tonight and tomorrow), and it's fantastic. Raised the action a tad and it just feels completely natural to play!. My '73 Jazz is perfect too, but there's something about the P that just completes a band . I'm sold! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
