dafonky Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Hi everybody Selling some vintage Fender parts for a nice P-bass project : true 1960' ies naked feather light ash body , wonderfull wood grain the body was originally blonde, cleaned after a spray job and refinished in natural comes with the original bridge .Weight is 2 kg its fretted 1971 Fender Precision neck with original tuners, beautifull rosewood fretboard the truss rod has been professionally repaired and fixed i can split and sell body and neck separately ! the action of the bass is max 2,5 -3 mm on the 12th fret , which is not too bad for a vintage Fender simply fit it with a good pickup ( Lundgren, Seymour, Lindy Fralins which work all very well on this ash body) and a nice Emerson kit ( or other ) and you have immediately a very good vintage Fender Precision player for a decent price ! I can throw in , for some additional money of course, its original pickups which are dated 1970 , but these other brands do a very good job too , really ! for additional infos and pics, please send me a PM thanks for looking Edited August 17, 2020 by dafonky 2

dafonky Posted July 27, 2020 Author Posted July 27, 2020 Yes, of course! the names escaped me for moment, that was the only one i remembered 🙂 .....perhaps just because i tried it and it worked very , very good in some of my P basses

tomthebass Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 Thanks Dafonky... will sit down and breathe for a while...
Aero71 Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 What can you tell about the body? You mention "true 1960's", but what year exactly? The bridge belongs to the body? What's the neck plate serial number? And do you have a picture without the bridge installed? Weight of the body? Thanks.
dafonky Posted July 29, 2020 Author Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) Hi , pickups are dated 1970, neck 1971, pots 1966 neck plate is 280 xxx and yes, it is the original late 60'ies early 70'ies bridge the bass belonged to a luthier before who was repairing a lot of vintage Fender guitars and basses. He was cleaning it and refinished the body in natural, because he liked the wood grain. He said that the body is older than the rest of the bass, because of the lightweight ash body. I have to check and post the exact weight here Edited July 29, 2020 by dafonky

Hellzero Posted July 29, 2020 Posted July 29, 2020 And a one piece body. Rare enough to be mentioned, Marc. 😉
Steve Browning Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 For the cost of a few (pretty inexpensive) bits, some one is going to get a superb bass at a knockdown price. If it weren't for a Covid-related salary reduction I'd have bought this. I already have a similar mongrel bass that is superb.
Simon. Posted August 3, 2020 Posted August 3, 2020 I have no need of this, but by gum I really, really want it!
