Hooch · February 20, 2021

For your consideration this lovely 1974-75 Pbass, ash-maple, original black over sunburst body. It's in good shape and is quite a light pbass for this era: 8.9lbs / 4kg. Parchment pickguard is a repro (original one is included, being broken on jack's tip, see pic), pots and cap are replacement too. Everything else is original. Neck's stamp is from 1974, grey bottom pickups too, but back-plate number looks like bass was finished in 1975.

Neck is super straight, (original) frets used but not abused, with a nice low action, 2mm above 12th fret without fretbuzz anywhere on the neck (no shim). 1 5/8" nut width, B shaped neck. The bass is strung with 45-105 rounds (d'Addario), trussrod has lots of room left. Warm, meaty and midrange punchy tone for days. It sounds ace and is super comfy to play.

Comes with a period-correct black guard, the OG pickguard, cover, thumbrest and ashtray. Flight-case is a (vintage) G&G like case, but not a fender one.

2650€ / £2290, PRICE DROP: 2500€ / £2170 shipped to your door in European countries.

As for the pics, did my best but the pickguard is more 'yellowed' in the flesh.
