New (old) '71 Precision

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).

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:

I'm a very happy and lucky bunny, and I genuinely feel that I'm not wanting for anything else at the moment! :)

Horrah!

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!? :)

Maybe in the future, but no need for one at the moment....hate having gear that doesn't get used :)

[quote name='BurritoBass' post='1244775' date='May 25 2011, 08:54 PM']My thoughts exactly.... it's all been said on the basses so I thought I'd mention I genuinely like that rug! :)[/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 :lol:. I'm sold!
