Details

I'm selling my 72/73 P Bass. I've put TI Flats on it (set up professionally so it is low with no buzzing) and I bought a tugbar to put on it but the holes for it were already drilled. The pickups are original, as are the pots, and the finish. The pickup and bridge covers aren't original but they don't appear too new either. The nut width measures at 1-7/16" to my measuring tape

It comes with a hardcase but it is not the original, just some semi-high quality hardcase (although I'm not too well versed in hardcases so don't expect a G&G one or anything). The Hardcase has the little strap that stops it from opening all the way broken, it could probably be repaired fairly easily but it never really bothered me so I left it. The bass came with a leather strap when I got it, so I'll throw that in as well. It weighed in at 8.9lbs though that was before I added the tugbar.


I'm looking for like ($2600) Drop to $2000 plus shipping CONUS. I'd be open to shipping internationally but I suspect it would get expensive real fast. I could be persuaded into trading for a cheaper bass plus cash. I'm open to most things now, just not fretless.

The only flaws I noticed (besides paint checking and nicks you would expect from a 40+ year old bass on the finish) would be there is a little hole in the back of the headstock that I can't seem to find a reason for and one of the screws for the E-string saddle is broken off partly (I can send pics to interested parties, not that bad), although it is intonated and setup properly as is, but if you prefer different action it might need replacing.

Bump for offers! I can do cheaper for people in FL that want to meet (or if you're crazy enough to drive to meet from another state)

Bump to revise my trade selection, I'm not too picky but I am not looking for a fret less bass. And I'd prefer to net around $1000 or more in cash

Finally getting back to some PMs, no rush to sell, the more I play it the more I debate selling but I suppose everything has a price tag so I'll leave it up in case someone wants a birth year or just wants it a bunch, I do have boxes to ship it in in the event it gets that far

The screw on the headstock was a feature from that era. You could put a strap there and hold it like an upright. Very cool

This screw hold is not for a strap. It is in the wrong location.
And Fender stopped doing that in 1967.

It's actually not a screw hole either, I have no idea what it is (the bass is older than me so it's seen some stuff I imagine). It's barely bigger than a toothpick in diameter, not that deep either

Correct, I did not mean screw hole, as you said just a add-on.
