I bought this bass about a little under a year ago, played it for a few weeks and realized it wasn’t speaking to me and preferred my other bass that i’ve purchased from a TBer here and fell in love with. Rather than let this Fender sit i’m just looking to sell it. Local pickup only as I’m always stressed with shipping and generally have tremendously terrible luck shipping and receiving large packages.
It’s in great condition minus small yellowing scuffs on the back of the instrument (pictured) which can be refinished. All electronics work excellent, was previously professionally set up and has no buzzing, or neck warping. It’s completely stock with zero upgrades to pickups, neck, pots, etc. below is the original description going into further detail:
The Pure Vintage ’58 P Bass split-coil pickup is as period-correct as possible, from the enamel-coated coil wire to the cloth-covered output wires, fiber bobbins and alnico 5 magnets. There’s no mistaking the powerful punch of this pickup that helped shape the sound of modern music. Other authentic touches include vintage-tall frets, original-era body radii, vintage-style hardware—including a four-saddle vintage-style bridge—vintage-style hardshell case and a lacquer finish that not only lets the wood “breathe” naturally with resonant tone, it also wears in a distinctively appealing way.
Representing a fundamental shift in musical possibilities, the American Original ‘50s Precision Bass is the best way to experience the performance, style and tone that made Fender the foundation of modern music.
