ash Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) This is a Fender USA 1977 Precision, it features a maple fingerboard & original natural finish ash body. The bass weighs in at around 9.9lbs so not too hefty for a 70s era bass. Gone Edited July 9, 2012 by ash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linus27 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 That so looks like my old bass. May I ask where you got it from and how long you have had it. I think I sold mine around 2001/2002 on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3below Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Absolutely super, takes me back to my first P bass 1977, grant cheque and 58 EB2 traded in. Best of luck with sale, I would be divorced if I bought this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 It's a fabulous example, I've seen it in the wood so to speak. Bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Cheers Russ yes it's a beauty and I think the price is fair for what is a very playable and well constructed 70s era bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcater Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I have a 1977 Precision exactly the same as this which i bought new - £300 in Denmark street back in the summer of 77. Although i have retired it from gigs it is still my first choice for any studio trips. I think the price for this is really good value. I cannot believe that it has not already gone. jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
