Details

This '76 Fender P bass is in great condition and plays beautifully. Everyone who plays it loves its tone. The E string on this absolutely BOOMS without being muddy at all, much deeper and fatter than even my nice boutique basses.

The person that sold it to me showed me a very old picture of the bass many moons ago with a natural finish, then at some point over the years they had it professionally refinished with a tobacco burst around the outside.

The neck and headstock on this bass are a vintage dream. They have naturally aged into a really rich, beautiful tint. The tuning pegs and frets are all original. The serial number has one number faded away, but reads 76(?)2845

The pickups are original, as well as all the knobs and pickguard. The bridge and strap lock knobs are the only piece of hardware that appear to be unoriginal. Comes with a hardshell molded case.

The asking price includes shipping anywhere in the 48 states. If you're in the LA area come by and try it out!

Is the neck warped in any way? Is there anything that would prevent low no buzz action?

No neck warping to my knowledge or eye. I had it looked at/set up just yesterday and the luthier didn't notice any neck warping. The action is incredibly low and there is very little fret buzz.

BOOM like this definitely comes with a little mass! I believe this bad boy weighs in at exactly 10 pounds. It isn't "light", but it has never felt too heavy for me and I have a bad back for a young guy.

Is the buzzing because it needs a fret job or because of a neck joint hump? Also, does it come with a case?

The buzzing seems pretty negligible, about the same as my 2004 Mike Lull, which is the tiniest amount. I don't think you would categorize it as buzzing, every bass I've played sounded this way. As far as I have been told by the tech who set it up and inspected it the frets are in good condition and the neck isn't warped. If you're in the LA area definitely come by and play on it! It does come with the Fender hard-shell case in the photos.

I should add, this slight buzzing is only noticeable when not plugged in. When plugged into an amp it is perfectly clear with no buzz whatsoever. I don't think it is what you would call buzz, the strings just lightly rattle when you play them as every bass does.

What kind of neck profile does this one have? Is it an “A”, “B” or something else?
It looks to be about 42MM at the nut and roughly 57MM at the twelfth fret. I'm not exactly sure how you would classify the shape, I have been told its a very standard shape for a '70s Precision bass.
