Price drop - now $6500.

Selling my 1963 Fender Precision Bass - P bass. See more photos here:

The bass is 100% original except one pot - which appears to be vintage, just doesn't match the other (dated 63). This is how it came when I took possession 5 years ago.

Neck plate no is L14270.

Frets are original, with average wear. Still lots of life on them.

Bass weighs approx 8.7 lbs

Never had the ashy trays or thumb rest.

Bass is very light. Do not know the weight (dont have scale). I have owned over 20 p basses and this one is by far the lightest. A featherweight.

Tone is to die for.

Pots need to be cleaned. Aside from that, it's ready for gigging prime time - or stored under the matress

Shipping to the lower 48 US only. And shipping will be $150. Must pack it very well and cover the additional insurance.

Ask me any question you may have - I have nothig to hide.

BEAUTIFUL! I literally had to catch my breath when I saw that first photo. Wish I had the cash.

Of course, you will finish sanding off that crappy old finish before you sell it?

...and don't forget the wood filler for those unsightly holes by the bridge.

Wow... Any interest in a 84 Toyota FJ60 Landcruiser trade lol.

Your Toyota may be worth more than my bass. Sell it, buy an old Volvo, and you'll have $$ to buy the 63 p!
