Longwheelbass Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) 1974 Fender Precision Bass, great sounding, great weight (8.6lbs) with a nice rosewood board, frets good, original pickups sound superb, original dated pots with original 0.05 ceramic disk capacitor, comes with original hardshell case all latches work. Comes with original ashtrays and thumbrest. The original factory walnut finish (commonly referred to as Mocha) is well-worn and the bass displays patina and checking all over, clearly was loved by a previous owner as it has had plenty of paint played off of it. The neck is a B width, 1 5/8" at the nut. Tuners all work perfectly, none are bent, bridge is in good shape, truss rod works fine - when I got it the bass had La Bella flats on it and the truss rod was adjusted accordingly to cope with the extra tension. It now has rounds on it and I re-adjusted the rod and it adjusted up easily and is playing buzz-free with a low action. The flats will be in the case compartment - they still have tons of life left in them. £2300 plus shipping UK wide. (Insured usually ends up being around £90) Edited March 14, 2021 by Turbineclimber 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raslee Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) Soooo want this, and also a fellow Devonian. YOB bass too. Savings already spent on a car for the wife. I’d now have to sell my babies to fund, unless you’re interested in a sort after Aqua sparkle Stingray Special and a Sandberg. Did even try a quick loan but that’s now not looking good thanks to an ongoing legal dispute with those toss pots British Gas. Despite having the ombudsman’s help, and looking like I have won the case after 2yrs, the damage is there to a once perfect credit rating - unfortunately the loan % rates were ridiculous....infuriating to say the least. Still working on creative ideas though. Edited March 13, 2021 by Raslee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si I'd love a Telecaster II in Mocha with the maple board but the P bass looks sexy to me with the rosewood! I have no idea why... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
