Sign in to disble this ad
1979 Fender Precision with fretless maple board and natural ash body. Strung with black flats. All original with exception of Badass bridge. I assuming the brass nut is original only because it looks like it is perfectly installed and as old as the rest of the bass...someone correct if I'm wrong here. Plenty of dings, finish cracking, and wear as you'd expect in an old Fender. There is one extra strap button hole on the horn, right next to the button. Sounds great and plays great, no scratchy pots. Not sure if the old case with groovy purple interior is original. Here are detailed pics: http://s134.photobucket.com/albums/q...on%20fretless/ 
GONE!

Although, if I recall, I was not totally knocked out by the glossy maple board on mine. But that's me.

In case you are "down dee ocean" (as they say here in Baltimore), now like a lot of locals, I'm playing at Fager's Island tonight if you want to stop by and come up and play a tune or two. Nice P bump!

I've seen them the same size under pickguards on more recent models. Anyone know if this is where they were during this year? |

Anyway, being that there is a BadAss on it now, it may have been a prior mod that required more space. Does it look finished inside?
I seriously covet that neck... 
free bump and eye candy for me!
