Details

Time to get this beautiful old player into the hands of someone new.

Want to be clear that this bass is not all original - tuners, neck, serial plate, and body are all original but the rest is not. When I got it it was completely stripped and had a new rosewood fingerboard ( outstanding grain and feels great.) I had it refinished in nitrocellulose along with a newer pick guard and new decal. I believe the pickups are from 1966 but I’ll know for sure when I pull it apart again for more photos.

Having said that it’s hands down the best P-bass I’ve ever played. Neck finish is worn perfectly and you will not want to put this one down.

Buyer to pay shipping method of their choice. I will post photos of neck day stamp, pickup, and pots soon but in the meantime look at those I’ve posted below.

I agree.

I put it on eBay now with no reserve so we will see.

Immediately got an offer of $2500. Didn’t realize it would automatically be declined with the first bid though ( been a long time since I sold on eBay). Didn’t accept it right away as I wanted to let someone that was interested in it here no and offer them first right of refusal. Oh well...

No. It’s a pinup girl water slide decal. Will come off easily with a little water.

Heads up TalkBass folks. I do have this bass on eBay. I’m happy to end the auction early and sell to anyone here if we make a deal, but since auctions can’t be ended in the last 12 hours it would would need to be before 9:24 AM pacific time on Sunday (tomorrow)

Yes. Also advertising it locally on CL. If it does not sell here or there before 9:24 tomorrow morning it will go to highest bidder. I just discovers I misspelled Precision in the auction title though (doh!!) so I may emsnesrly anyway and relist it with the correct spelling.
