The Precision has now sold as a year of birth bass to someone the same age as me :)

Due to this newly built clone :

And in view of that :

I am selling my Fender Precision made in 1978

- Nut 41mm
- Maple neck and fretboard

- Trans wine red ash body (lacquer check on the sides, but very stable and does not fall apart. A layer of some sort can be scratched off from part of the back and the finish looks fine underneath, I did not bother scratch it off, it looks far better in real life than on the pics)

Frets are in very good condition. It was well taken care of throughout its career.
Black pickguard

All original apart from the bridge cover and 2 screws, all new Fender parts.

Pics of the guts available on request

4,5 / 4,6kg

 

It sounds really good, as one should expect from a fine example of a 70s P bass with added sustain and overtones.
Great dynamics and sensitivity to the way you play. 

Asking for £1300 / 1450€
(and oh la la, it is worth every penny)

 

The bass can be securely shipped in a good Tobago hardshell case. 
Options and cost to be discussed.

I also happen to be in London once in a while.

Buy with confidence.
My feedback can be checked here


Cheers,

Was it really April 2013 when you bought the Overwater??? For those who don't know, I bought it back from Benoit when he put it back up for sale last year (I think). He is a pure gentleman and a credit to this forum, even though he takes some great instrument out of the country..😁😁

I'm well known for not being a big Fender fan, however this does look like a nice example of that brand from the period when the build quality was far from it's best. I'm sure that there will be many BCers who would love to own it.

Trade in confidence, as I said Benoit is a credit to this forum.

GLWTS sir....

Thanks @TheGreek.
2013 it was (I thought 2012...)
You might fancy a trade with the Overwater again ? I sold it to fund this very P-Bass.

I've read that there were some crappy Fenders from the 70s, and this one is not one of them.
I've had a 2010 Fender Deluxe P that was crappy and can tell the difference.
