First off, I will say this may be one of the cleanest 30 year old basses you will find, period.
It is a 1983ish Fender Precision bass in Sienna Burst. I do not exaggerate the condition. The ONLY issue I can find is a minute amount of scuff on the ball of the headstock. The case is actually as clean; considering these Fender plastic cases break easy it seems this bass was trapped in a closet in a collection. The pictures are simple, it is cut and dry. I also believe I have what is the original thumbrest.    
Looking for $1250/BO shipped. Would be interested in trades for: Ric 4001, limited color Rics of any kind, any old Fender amps or guitars/basses, Gibson T-birds (NOT burst or black), Gibson Les Paul. Will ship international: that can be negotiated.

I found a P-bass that serves me sufficiently enough at a more economical price. I no longer have the case though I believe - I think I actually sold it at some point. I have other cases though if you are interested in a case - just not the original.

Just a title for a time frame in Fender's history. Significantly better quality than most of the 1970's Fenders was the contribution of the short period.
