0353203 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) Hi All, Price reduced to £1,600 Up for sale is my 1973 Fender P bass - it has some changes and ships in a brand new Fender C&G case....weighs in at a lightweight 8.2lbs. Changes: - newer (later 70s Fender) machine heads - the lower thumb rest position has been drilled as an after-thought.....under the guard it has the upper position thumb rest holes. - the tort guard is certainly authentic vintage but as it doesn't have the upper thumb rest holes, has been added (replacing a black one, I suspect). - chrome covers and thumb rest are newer replacements Everything else is original to the bass (ie. bridge, pups, knobs, pots etc). Frets have plenty of life left. Neck is dead straight and plays with a low action right up the neck. Has its fair share of dings, dongs and other playwear but overall is in great condition. Cheers, Si [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/73%20Precision%20Bass/IMG_1288_zps498fa63a.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/73%20Precision%20Bass/IMG_1292_zps0e3bc4ab.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/73%20Precision%20Bass/IMG_1281_zps89c35a48.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/73%20Precision%20Bass/IMG_1243_zps9f8c9739.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/73%20Precision%20Bass/IMG_1258_zpsc154a44d.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s1276.photobucket.com/user/0353203/media/73%20Precision%20Bass/IMG_1259_zps8a2b15f0.jpg.html"][/url] Edited April 6, 2014 by 0353203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlfer Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Lovely looking bass. I thought strap pins on the back of the headstock finished in the 60's, wrong again . That bass though, is everything a classic P should be. Very tempting. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
