Details

’77 P-bass. It’s got some normal player wear for a ’77. Has some of the chrome chipped off of one tuning peg. Plays and sounds great. No scratchy pots, no crackly jack, just nice smooth tone. Straight neck, frets still have plenty of life.

Serial number is S751382
Its been professionally rewired in cloth covered wire. I am not sure about the pots, because the one has solder on it, but the other one has the code 137 77 02 so it’s a 1977 cts brand pot.
Pickup Codes 102577 & 103177
Most of the heel code is worn of, but the 01 (which means its a pbass) is visible. You can see other red ink, but cant make out any numbers.
The pick guard sticker has the same serial number as the headstock.
No ash trays.
Wearing La Bella Deep Talkn’ Flats
Here's the best part, it only weighs 8.2 lb
It ships in a TKL soft sided case. I tried to capture everything in a ton of pics.

Yeah, I had not either until this. The guard has faded to a nice off white over the years that I think looks good on it.

Is my memory correct that these late 70s P-Basses had the options of getting necks with three different nut widths and profiles (1.75" traditional P-Bass neck, 1.625" with a flattened C-shape, and 1.50" that was like a deeper-profile Jazz neck)? If so, what is the nut width on this bass?

By the way .... I REALLY want this bass!!!

Thanks,
Doug

Yes, you are correct about the different shapes/sizes in the 70's.
This bass is 1 5/8 inches. Which I believe is the B shape, and most standard precision neck. Thanks

If it helps any, I have a '78 fender p with a "B" neck and it's incredibly comfortable to play

Yep ... I have the "B"-profile neck on my current P/J, and I have had two other P-Basses with that neck profile. I love the way that they feel, and how they fit my not-so-large hands.

Thanks for adding to the thread. The "normal" precision neck is my favorite too. I had an A neck at one point, and it just did not feel right in my hand. This one is a great player, I have just spread myself a little thin lately buying other gear and need to move a few things.
Thanks
