50's Road Worn Precision bass in LPB

JaySpade · #1 10-25-2011, 02:43 PM

I took this bass in on a trade about a year ago and planned on flipping it but just couldn't let it go till now. There are 2 small dings that you can see wood under so my thought is that someone stripped it all the way down. It is refinished in Nitro Lake Placid Blue and finish seems to be super thin. Bass plays great and has tons of sustain. Only trades I'd consider is a Lakland Decade or a Lakland P. $625 shipped

True beauty! If it plays as good as it looks, then someone will be very happy.

It truly does. I've played a few of these and this one by far surprised me. Hate to let it go just have a few p's with maple boards and need a different sound.

Photos of the headstock? Thanks.

J, could you throw some other pickguards on it, just for good measure? I'd love to see it with a tort and/or black guard.

I'm still interested, but free bump!

You sure that's LPB? In any case a nice bass.

It is. Really hard to take pics of this color. Looks way to blue in the pic

I'm gonna try and take better pictures tomorrow. Finish is clean bass just looks real dirty in the pics.

JaySpade · #10 10-28-2011, 10:20 PM

Still haven't had a chance to grab more pics. I'll get to it Sunday.

Talked with the guy I traded with for it. It was completely stripped and refinished by a guy named Freddy Gabrsek in Canada.

JaySpade · #12 10-31-2011, 04:22 PM

Added a few new pics. Had a few trades options just nothing grabbing me yet.

I've also got a MIM fender precision body finished in nitro fiesta red if someone would rather that body. Check mine out.
The road worn body's have a little bit of a flat finish. I think mine looks more original.

All trades welcome

Part out the neck?

JaySpade · #18 11-04-2011, 03:28 PM

I'll weigh it when I get home Sunday. Think I've got a gig bag for it.

JaySpade · #19 11-06-2011, 05:10 PM

8.5 pounds with older fender gig bag.
