Roger2611 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FENDER-PRECISION-79-/162244145811?hash=item25c6813293:g:1wgAAOSw8w1X7PsO This one looks an oddity to me, no serial number on the headstock which a 1979 bass would have, nitro type checking on the rear of the body which I think has had a poor quality repair done as the rest of the body looks period correct thick poly finish, the colour looks right for a bass of this age, I wonder if it is an earlier bass than the seller reckons? Seems a bit pricey to me considering the mods / repair and lack of serial number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_c2 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Is the serial number not on the back? If not, then I'd never buy it - I'd never buy a Fender without a serial number, when there's plenty around WITH their serial number, which are much more likely to be genuine.

wateroftyne Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 If you zoom in, it looks like the S/N has been photoshopped out..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangur Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The decal says "Precision" the nut width looks jazz to me? I know nowt about Fenders. That might be nothing. Am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsmedunc Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I asked him if the neck had been refurbed. Message from the seller - [color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Hi, Thanks for the question and yes your correct.[/font][/color] [color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Some years ago I part refinished the neck, stopped at the main decal though - thought I was out of my depth. The bass has all the period mod's that became available and were the thing at the time, bridge, pickups extra string retainer and a hipshot. It was the thing to do and options were very limited its a great bass though. If your able too you should come and check it out.[/font][/color] [color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Best regards[/font][/color] [color=#231F20][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Wayne[/font][/color] Edited October 18, 2016 by itsmedunc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
