FT Feeler Vintage Precision Bass

Sign in to disble this ad
Still not sure I want to do this but I'm going to put this up anyway. This is a very very very tentative feeler.

This is a 1967 Fender Precision Bass with a genuine Fender July 1962 Jazz neck. The bass was professionally refinished and had the frozen trussrod replaced by another vintage Fender truss rod (or so I was told) The bass is finished in nitro with a matching headstock. There is a small cigarette burn.

There are currently no holes drilled in the bass for bridge or pickup covers.

The electronics are not original. There is a debate as to whether these are early SD quarter pounders or a Schecter pickup from the 70s. Either way it sounds great.

Pickguard is obviously not original. The bass was drilled for a period correct guard which I didn't like the look of. I replaced it with a gold 57 RI Fender guard with some wear on it and did not drill any new holes for the pickguard. Sticker is easily removable.

The tuners are 67 Fender tuners. One of the tuners lost a screw and a replacement was made.

The bass itself is super light weight. I mean it, its like a feather. I brought this bass to the International G2G and got nothing but compliments on its looks, playability, and tone. Same goes for when I bring it out to a gig. Bass is strung with TI flats.

I'm already kicking myself in the ass for this as its one of my main basses, however I'm itching for a Mesa Boogie 400+ again.

The only trade I'll take is for a 400+ +cash from you, hopefully the Mesa is in a roadcase as well with some extra spots in it.


Here's a gig picture until I get some proper ones

Would also trade this for an Alembic FX-1 Preamp, a power amp, plus cash from you.

Bought the bass for $1700 awhile ago as a reference. I'm not sure what current market value is now on it. The bass is not for outright sale.

Trying to get a camera to take some new pictures. Unfortunately being a broke college student doesn't allow for me or most of my friends to own one. Color is shoreline gold with matching headstock.

Will upload some pictures from when I got it momentarily.

This is a 1967 Fender Precision Bass with a genuine Fender July 1962 Jazz neck. Selling this r u certifiably nuts. I guess you lost your mind when the NY football Giants lost to the Eagles in the new Miracle in the Meadowlands 2!!! I hope your GAS subsides and that you find your noodles again.

I know. I'm still not sure I wanna get rid of it as it plays and sounds like a dream. But I've got 2 other vintage P-basses and I really prefer the 1.75 neck width.

Besides, what am I gonna do with 4 P-basses?

Also, to be fair, this is the least original of my 3 vintage P-basses. The other ones (82 Fullerton RI) I bought for $400 and I have a 1961 Fender P-bass thats loaded with the original electronics (and has a factory red finish) that I slapped a 64 P-bass neck and tuners to. My total investment in that is $800 bucks.

This is probably one of the most expensive instruments I've bought.

I might be trading this for a bass though so....


Bump for Mesa 400s and 400+s.

I bought a camera and will take pictures after I'm less crippled and able to walk.

Can't wait to see more pictures of this bass, it looks great. I am a sucker for a P with a J neck...oh and those vintage frets too.

I purchased the bass from the guy who had the restoration done. That looks to be the bass. Didn't know it once had a J pickup!
