On Hold: 1977/78 Fender Precision Bass Black/Black/Maple - *SOLD* £2400

[Old Horse Murphy]

Not sure about this one but I have two other P Basses I use more, so I'd see whether this is if interest to anyone. 
 

It's a 1977/78 Fender P Bass in black with maple fingerboard/neck. It has been well-used and is all original apart from the pots that were changed a while ago. It doesn't come with a case (although I can supply one for shipping purposes) or the ashtrays. 
 

It weighs in at a very comfortable 9lbs 7oz and is strung with a new set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky Nickel rounds with a nice low action. 
 

It has a number of marks on it as you'd expect for the age but plays beautifully and sounds great. That said, there's nothing that affects playability and all the frets are in good condition. 
 

I'm looking for £2,300 for it and although I'd be happy to post insured for cost, I'd rather it was handed over near Monmouth or within an hour's drive. I'm not looking for trades thanks.

If anyone on here buys this, I have a thumb-rest from the same period.  I took mine off, lost it, sold the bass years ago and found it a few weeks back.
