Not the early 80's ones. They came out with a later Precision Special.

That is a rare bass, for sure. I had one awhile back, and they are good players too.

The nut is 1.65" (or B width).
The neck has the thinner D shape.

1980 was the first year Fender offered a Precision Special.
It came with one split coil pickup and had Fender's first active preamp.
There is a micro-switch that changes the electronics from passive to active.
That was what made it "Special".

Yes, everything is original and in excellent condition.

Just for a price reference, one of these sold for over $2700 on eBay.
