Thanks for narrowing it down to a 68' - 76' model year. When I take delivery in September, I'll remove the neck. I believe the shop I got this from said it's a 69'. As long as it's a US made Fender, the exact year isn't so important within that 9 year span.

Photos attached.

I'll ask the person who has been storing the bass for the past 2 years if he can open up the shipping box and snap two close-ups. With Covid, I wasn't able to get into the USA to pick it up.

Does anyone have an idea or know what year a Fender P fretless bass with the serial # 271266 would have been made? The Fender serial # database comes up blank. Hopefully its a US made bass. Thanks!

Two interesting articles regarding Carol Kaye's involvement with Music Man. Carol Kaye Reflects On Her Legendary Career For Her 85th Birthday Carol Kaye played a Fender Precision Bass on most of her classic sessions – but she preferred the Music Man StingRay

Louis "Thunder Thumbs" still amazes me every time I see him slap. Is it true he had one of the first Stingray basses?

Sir Paul is certainly one bassist to aspire to but it was Denis Dunaway from Alice Cooper that turned on the light bulb. Just so happened it was my first concert as well.

That's easy. My very first concert. I just so happened to be on Dennis Dunaway's side of the stage.

Just wondering... has anyone played or, owns a Pino Palladino Custom Shop P? One of my Instagram friends swears it's the best new P that you can buy.

Kindly omit the PayPal reference. I didn't know it's not to be mentioned on TB. My bad.

OK, looks like this Wal is headed to the USA.

After consulting with Paul on this and getting his OK, I'm reluctantly going to offer my Mk ll 4 string build to whoever want's to jump the 44 month que. A very good long time customer has offered me his "holy grail" bass for purchase and I can't afford both. Logic dictates putting my name back...

Holy crap! That's $18K Cdn. Then add duty since it's not made in the USA.

You know you are close when you get teaser photos from Paul.
