I've finally found my holy grail, an original 1959 Fender Precision, and am therefore ready to gratefully release a very clean 1973 Fender Precision bass with a maple "A" neck. All original. Sunburst with tortoise guard. New D'addario half round strings. No case. I will consider trades for a similar vintage, all original Fender Jazz bass with a ROSEWOOD fingerboard. I cannot accept offers of new Jazz basses, or basses other than the classic Fender Jazz or Roscoe Beck model Fender Jazz. I declined a "wholesale" price offer of $1700 by a local dealer, and would expect any offers of an instrument to equate to that or better. I am in the Berkeley, California area.
