The P-Bass is likely the most recorded instrument in history. It gained a cult-like following because of its portability and potential for volume. The Fender Precision Bass is heavily responsible for how music is now presented and at its core is just the go-to example of indestructible, musical art. As the first production model bass guitar, the Fender Precision bass was an absolutely revolutionary instrument upon its introduction in 1951. It has been produced without break since then and has remained a standard throughout. This 1978 gem was produced at the famed Fullerton Factory and is oozing MOJO from every pore.


The dings, dents, scuffs and scratches add to the vintage vibe radiating from this bass and only add to the overall vintage vibes radiating from every pore. The brass nut was replaced, the secondary string tree removed and a small screw hole was plugged. This PBass has a ultra cool natural light relic feel and is just itching to come out of the case to rock!
