SOLD Fender Precision Surf Green (78, Parts bass) £900/€1000 shipped £900 Uppsala, Sweden

[Owno]

- SOLD -

 The bass is built out of:
 

• An original Fender Precision Bass neck  marked "R. Friend" and "3181". This means the neck was built on the 31st of July in 1978 (Week 31, year 78 - 8-, first day of the week -1). This neck has seen some action during the years and has been repaired some couple of decades ago (please see attached pictures). The neck has been taken to the local luthier, equipped with a new bone nut and refretted with stainless  jumbo steel frets. It plays great and the truss rod works fine.
• Original late 70's Fender hardware (tuners, bridge)
•  A very resonant and light weight body (unknown brand). The body has been stripped and refinished in a nitrocellulose surf green laquer. The cavities are shielded with copper tape. Please note that the laquer is a bit cracked, show signs of wear and is starting to get a beautiful "Manhattan" pattern.
• Seamour Duncan Basslines pickup (SBP-1)
• Parchment pickguard from WD.

This is a very light (~3,4kg) and resonant player! The bass is currently strung with GHS flats and will be shipped in an old 70's black hard case in fair condition.

Thanks! It is a lovely bass, indeed.

I forgot to mention that I am not open for trades at the moment. The bass is listed at Reverb as well. Feel free to buy it there in case you prefer the safety of paying through their arrangement rather than PayPal invoice etc. Send me a message with your BC nickname if you do.

Cheers,

Owno
