I had a few questions about some things so rather than pulling it apart myself I thought I would let a pro do it. I got this bass in a trade deal a few years ago and basically received it played it a few times and in the closet it went. I went to mike lull and ask if he could confirm a few things and while he was at it give it a setup and lets try that plek thing, while were at it. All I can say is WHOA! this is now the best sounding and playing fender p bass I have ever played (and I have played a few to say the least).
Q-1 Yes it is a 1983 fullerton era p bass
Q-2 Yes all electronics and truss rod work perfectly
Q-3 this thing plays and sounds fantastic!!
I put 2 pennies to show the action on the neck this is with the bass standing up and they fit in snug.
Truly plays like butta
