three Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) Absolutely lovely - is this from the International Colour series - it looks like Sahara Taupe? I think the colours were available in 1981 but they may have strayed over for a year or two. Edit: oops, on checking, this looks a bit too light for Fender's Taupe - still lovely though Edited November 30, 2021 by three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutton Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I used to have one of these precisions. They are marvellous basses. The asking price is very reasonable for such a pristine bass. By the way the colour is ‘Ivory’ and not Olympic white. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you as I was told it was OW but Ivory is more suited to the colour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlfer Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Indeed Ivory & low production numbers with excellent reputation for being a bit special. I feel the need to move a product of Santa Anna to fund this wonderful bass. Top bloke to deal with as well 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

three Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) The body appears to be deeply and very tastefully sculpted - a feature of the Dan Smith era basses (and guitars). I’ve had a few Fenders from around this period and they’ve all been very good. I don’t necessarily subscribe to the ‘period’ arguments re: Fender (I’ve seen and played spectacular and truly horrible instruments across the range) but there’s something a bit different about these early ‘80s basses. If I still played long-scale and had any money, I’d buy this. Any chance of an image from the top of the body to show-off the sculpted curves?

Cairobill Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I have to say this looks the bee knees. Combo of the interesting vintage, fantastic condition and good weight alongside a very fair price makes this deal of the month in my opinion. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
