I've been told it is Root Beer, but never researched it any further.

It has. I've been mainly a fretless 5er for the past 10+ years, and it has been in the hands of a guitarist friend who has used it for recording and occasional teaching gigs. But, the time has come...

So, to confirm, this does have an "A" neck? Ever pulled he neck off to look at the heel stamp? What's it weigh?

It looks like a standard, period correct, "B" neck. However, the 1.5" width the seller reports would make it an 'A' "Jazz" size neck.

Color is Walnut. Mocha is more opaque.

The Tug Bar became the Thumb Rest in late 1973

GLWTS. That's a very beautiful Precision. Almost perfect (I don't like thumb rests/tug bars).
