I bought this just a few weeks ago from a fellow TB'er. No issues with the bass at all, it turns out I'm not a fan of maple necks or the precision neck profile. Curiosity solved :-)
Here's the original ad description and pics. It's exactly the same as I received it, which is near new and better than most greasy basses hanging on the wall at GC:
This is the MIM '50's Fender Precision. It's a surprisingly easy playing bass. It's currently strung with roundwounds which sound great on this bass, but it sounds equally amazing with flats. The neck is very true with a minimum of relief.
Here's Musician's Friend's product description:
Inspired by the most legendary bass of all time! The '50s Precision Bass features vintage styling and appointments, a maple neck, alder body, and a split single-coil Precision Bass pickup. Other features include a gold anodized pickguard and vintage hardware. Includes deluxe gig bag.
