    Pre CBS Fender Photo Thread

    I put it up for sale on eBay but, from the questions I received, most of those potential buyers are looking for pre-CBS basses in the $2000-3000 range. After posting my ad I sold a "real" road worn, natural finish 1966 P bass (May, 1966 neck) on Craigslist. This bass had some 1965...
