wonder where this thing was forgotten?? Fender 70's Precision Electric Bass and more 4 String Electric Bass at GuitarCenter.com.
this is not even on the fender website. and it doesn't appear to be part of the modern players series. perhaps a little buddy to go along with the 70's jazz?
*oh and for the record, i could not find another thread on this already.

Whoever is doing their site design did not specify the path correctly. you can't find it under pbasses. you have to "view all" basses, then select the "classic" series from the tree on the left. good find at $528 though. ive usually seen it for 849 with free shipping (sam ash, etc..) or 799 plus shipping (various smaller sites) |

This price is a steal. |

Not an era to be proud of.

And from all I've read here on TB, I'm not the only one who's had a good experience with 70's Fenders. I believe the bad rap they get is largely undeserved. Just curious, how many 70's Fenders have you tried?

Are you sure these are CIJ? I could have sworn these are MIM, like the 70s Jazz is MIM. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
