What's not original:
Pots from '81
Nut
Mirror Pickguard
Everything else is original including the case(tail) and covers(foam marks). The back of the neck looks almost new. Overall the bass is in amazing condition for it's age. Half the Fender logo is missing from the outside of the case but the inside looks like new. Plays great, sounds great, everything adjusts fine.
Rare Jazz-width "A" neck, also rare transition body route plus "tug bar" combination.
$1500 Shipped
NO TRADES AT ALL

I am tempted...very tempted but I'm not in a band and I am not sure I'll be in one again so my desire to get myself a vintage P with maple fretboard isn't as high, but I am damn tempted. You firm?

Nice.
How are the frets on this? Dressed recently? Has it been re-fretted? |

| | used to play 5's, then I took an arrow in the knee | | Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Charlottesville, Virginia | | | It's got moderate/light wear, a couple very slight indentations just starting to form on the first few frets. Some flattening too, but nothing major and nothing that inhibits its playability. I'm thinking it's a refret also since there are little chips at each fret end. |

Is the pickgaurd metal? And it's drilled for the treble-side tugbar?
Nice bass. Good luck with sale. I have one just like it, but curious about the gaurd.

Slap a $20 black pickguard on this and it will be perfect.
Bump for a great bass.
P.S. I paid $2k for mine a few years back. $1500 is a great deal with case and covers.
