Awesome 1972 Fender P - Great vintage tones and mojo. If you are a purist and looking for an all original 72, this isn't for you. However, if you're looking for a killer vintage P with some of The best upgrades on the market, look no further. This one came to me with the finish stripped down to the bare wood - some signs indicate that this was originally in black. The original owner stripped it and the neck, added a badass II, and put some terrible dimarzios in it back in the early 80's.
Specs that I've added to bring it back to a road warrior life-
I had the great team at MJT do a killer vintage Blonde finish and man did they deliver! Awesome checking throughout, and a great finish feel. I made sure to have them tape off the inner heel of the body for date verification.
Tim Tucker of Gibson repair and restoration down in Nashville did a great neck plane, refret and new nut about a year ago. Minimal wear since, as it mostly had tapes on it.
I added a Lollar overwound pickup (12.7k) and an Emerson custom wiring harness (CTS 250k, 0.047uf, Paper in Oil caps).
This has the narrower neck, not quite Jazz Bass but pretty close- very comfortable.
I'm really a jazz guy by heart, hence why I'm deciding to list this.
Looking for $2400 shipped CONUS with a basic fender hsc. - dropped to $2199
trade interests: custom shop Jazz- 70-78 jazzes, F-bass, sadowsky, entry level Fodera, USA lakland, USA MTD. Can add cash to any trade to make it work. Also play guitar so open to CS Fender on that side as well.
