F/T F/S: 73-74 Precision

[quadrogong]

killer recording bass,lightest I've felt,slightly over 8 lbs...
1 5/8" nut width,feels more like jazz width.bridge was changed at some point,but it's strong,solid,Fender type.
Body,neck,pu's,tuners,hardware(not bridge)and pots are all original.

I suspect an older refin,clear coat's old and faded, but the texture seems a bit odd in 1 or 2 spots.
possibly non original pickguard,but that,I'm not sure of,

this is an incredible player, a stout sounding Pbass,pure,ballsy tone..light,and thin nut..but it's not a collector's bass, I never questioned the owner,nor did I pop the neck, it performed amazingly,I felt it was worth it and I still do.
if you are local, and serious, you can come and pop it with me..but if it was all original,I'd be asking twice this price..I have no doubt you will flip over it if u play it.



serial#:408876 indicates 1973 or early 74

Ash body I believe,(I was told)maple fb is worn in,looks like George Porter's pbass's fingerboard,part of what attracted me to it.
...a bit of fret wear,but doesn't affect setup,plays beautifully,
tone is pure and classic,the fattest open E of all the basses I've ever owned..

GREAT for rock,punk..this bass roars,rumbles,growls.
..cool,classic Jamerson/Roger Waters warm thud when u ease back the tone knob.
This was my recording bass for 2 major projects,my Sadowsky now gets 99% of the the action,this has unplayed been in my sadowsky case,unplayed..for too long.
..looking for interesting trades..cash sale,
or possibly a Sterling + a few hundred to buy some home studio gear.
anything with a MM near the bridge,1.5 nut width.. fretted 4's.
I'm pricing the bass at $1400, as far as trade value..
..PJ's,[/b]looking for new tones..
[/color]..

will sell for $1400 ,

or part cash/part gear.


i purchased the black(Fender)thumb rest,
no case,It came with a gigbag w defective zippers,that I'd returned,& never received the replacement..lost in the mail perhaps..

I can buy a gigbag to ship,it will be shipped safely,from shipping dept at my office..or come over with a case,I can even wrap it and pay for cab fare if u live close to NYC or Astoria.
in NYC area? come on down!..try her out.

amazing player,pure,classic tone.not a collector's bass,but certainly very sellable, should increase in price,if anything.

unfortunately, I really love this bass,
