paul j h Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) For sale or trade my 1973 Fender Precision in natural ash. The neck was originally a (rare) fretless maple but has since been professionally fretted, the side dots are on the fret lines. The ash body has precision and jazz Bartolini pick ups and has been routed with a larger cavity for the Bartolini NTMB 918F preamp. As can be seen from the photos the bass has Precision version of the Marcus Miller bass type vibe. There is a battery pack cover on the back of the body to house the twin (18v) batteries for the preamp. The bass is in great condition for a 37 year old, the neck is in fabulous condition and the body has natural wear and "crazing" to the finish. Open to trade offers but only 4 stings please, I have cash available if you want to trade down. Will be sold with a hard shell case. Anyone requiring further photos let me.

three Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I like this very much - thoughtful and individual customisation. Was all the custom work undertaken professionally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudburst Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Nice bass! To meet it looks more 1973 than 1978. CB Edited January 12, 2015 by cloudburst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul j h Posted January 12, 2015 Author Share Posted January 12, 2015 All the customisation was done before I got the bass, I really like it, but I have too many basses for my needs. I did post recently about returning this to its original format, but, the concenus was that it was not worth it, hence it and my "spare" Stingray being for sale.

paul j h Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Having checked the serial number on the resource on Basschat it appears that the bass is a 1973 not 1978 as I was told. original ad now updated .
