Hello, guys! Quick update: I got the oportunity to try the bass in a quick trip i made. I tested a lot of basses, but none of them compared to the 79 P Bass. Was probably one of the best basses i ever played, really confortable, not too heavy, killer sound, low action. I had tried a lot of...

got it. thanks! good to know. which aspects would you recomend me to look at and questions to ask the dealer?

Hi, AGCurry! My worry about intonation is that I had a vintage musicmaster before and a hofner viola that were not able to tune the octaves and since I record a lot, that become quite a problem, and im worry that by any construction issue, that could happen with the P Bass too. am I worrying for...

thanks! unfortunately Im cannot try it because im in another city. I have a lot of pictures and asked for a video, that im still waiting for them to send it to me. The place is a reputable dealer, I had bought a bass with them before. What questions would you recommend me that must been aske?

thanks for your answer. actually to me doesn't need to be really really really low, just enough to feel good, confortable and with no huge effort to play lol

Hi, guys! so, im thinking about getting a 1979 fender precision bass (black finish, maple neck, beautiful). Love P-Bass tone and the look of relic instruments. but there are some things that im worried about since i have no experience with vintage precisions. things that i worry: intonation...

Well, i think the mistery have been solved. Thanks a lot all you guys for the time and help!!!

Updates: the serial is actually G86949 A here is the trust rod

so a 4003S 1996? Definitely not 4001s, right?

Yes, the seller told me it was originally black

got it! so, considering july 1996, it would match all the things you noticed before? Like screws on the bridge and the position of the neck pick up? For what i saw, you are really a rick expert kkkk

Seller also says that the hard case is original that came with the bass:

The seller told me that the pickguard isnt original, that probably the original one broke and the previois owner put one handmade

Another important thing: it doesnt have the push/pull that would make sense if it was 4003S, right?

I’ve read on reverb.com that rick serial starting with G means 1967. And starting with 9 would match 1996. For what you know, that makes sense? ps.: thanks a lot for all your help guys!
