It's not easy to sell this vintage Fender Precision, and I might pull this of the market the next couple of days. But I'm a jazzbass guy, and just don't take this to a gig. And that's a shame.
Fender 1963 (pre-CBS) Precision with L-serialnumber!
two piece alder body refinished recently in a nitro Sonic blue finish, with lots of cracks in the finish for a nice worn look. Original (sunburst) finish has been gone for decades. Fantastic neck, plays like a dream, and sounds as you would expect from an vintage P. Full and warm.
Body has the famous '60-ies bump in the lower horn
Stamp on the neck: 5 April 63
Serialnumber: L03XXX
Pickup and pots are original. input is replaced
Also the pickguard seems original. (shrunk 60-ies nitro pickguard) and no extra holes in the body.
Hardware is original
There are some minor negative issues that I would like to mention.
Hardware is as mentioned all original, but the previous owner cleaned the hardware with some sort of supercleaner (!) so 45 years of dirt has dissapeard on some parts like the tuners.)
As you can see in one of the pictures there is a part of the fender logo on the headstock missing. I don't know if this has happend when the headstock met with a cymbal, or somebody did this intentionally some decades ago.
Please send me a message for further questions or extra pictures. (will try to take some pictures of the pots this weekend)
Pickup, or meet somewhere is strongly prefered, so you can play and inspect the bass, but shiping in a HSC is possible at cost of the buyer.
Looking for 4500 euro's for this unique bass. So not really interesting for the people from the USA, with the current exchange rates.
When I look at the prices for (refinished) vintage Fenders in Europe I think this is a fair price for a pre-CBS Precision, but feel free to make me an offer.
No (partitial) trades, althrough I'm a sucker for old Fender Jazzbasses (pre '74) or Celinder basses, so I might change my mind.
