**sold**

 

My bass collection down sizing continues...

 

Up for sale is my original 79 Fender Precision Bass. Some people call it an '81 as the pots are marked '81 and the pickups are marked '80. However my local guitar shop and luthier told me you always go by the serial number('79). Anyway, you can make up your own mind as all of the evidence is clearly visible as I have included photos of everything. 

 

For 44 years, this bass is in incredible condition - I think it's impossible to find a bass in better condition! As can be seen in the photos, there are some very light and superficial marks in the paintwork - however, they are almost invisible unless you specifically look for them under the right light. The only real imperfection is that a small piece of the varnish has come off next to the screw hole for the bridge cover - see the last photo.

 

The bass is not only original but also works perfectly, including the truss rod.

Importantly, the bass is completely original and the neck was made by the renowned John Torres.

The bass comes with a Fender hardshell case, which is also in very good condition - although I'm not sure if this case is the original...
