    questions about a 1977? Fender Precision bass I am thinking of selling..

    The pickups and pots most likely date / came with the body, they aren't vintage. The pickups should have grey bottoms with a stamp and the pots at least should have nylon shafts. I had a '77 burst and this doesn't match.

    CIJ Fender JB62-58 question

    You should be good with any replacement Jazz pickup cover - they are fairly standard in sizing

    HELP THIS DATE this Fender JAZZ BASS

    Custom colour black/maple jazz with white pearl blocks...damn - not so much a jazz guy but sooo nice. That would be a '74

    All parties involved should be embarrassed, especially Mike & Mike and the guy that "owned" it

    Vintage bass refinished : winner or loser

    I'd already own it if it were local at that ridiculous price, then just refinish to its factory state and still be way ahead. It's been for sale for a week, nobody brave enough? OP send it my way :D

    The Official Fender Precision Bass Club (Part 8)

    Hard to show in pics, but the headstock is flamed and the backside of the neck is too. It's 10lbs even, really happy with this one - and this era...they sound sooo good.

    Nah it has all the factory stamps on it, so definitely original.

    The Official Fender Precision Bass Club (Part 8)

    I have this S8 serial with a very nice flamed maple neck (and bad-ass cig burn on the headstock too). To my knowledge, a flamed maple neck wasn't an option from factory just pure luck of the draw?

    Help identify what is original on this 70's P-bass

    It's not a refin. It still has the white gunky polishing powder in the cavities from the factory and factory marking under the pickups.

    Help identify what is original on this 70's P-bass

    Yeah you're 90% of the way there and everything checks out....dimarzio model P pickups and a bad-ass bridge, pretty common changes.

    reverb.com scam?

    Probably an extremely common thing to avoid the fees. Buyer beware though since you lose all protection moving off the platform so you have to trust it, totally up to you on how to proceed.

    Tony Franklin Signature Bass Club

    I wonder if there is an explanation - Maybe a small batch went out with the TV logo in 2008? Here's another example, from a 2008:

    Tony Franklin Signature Bass Club

    Has anyone heard of the early versions having the TV logo decal on the headstock instead of the smaller post '76 version? Looking at one now, but it has the old logo, the serial is legit and matches with a TF signature, but the decal does not...

    Fender Precision 1975 - Price?

    That bass has been for sale for literal years, I've made an offer on it. The seller clearly doesn't want to sell it nor is the store motivated to help him. As for this bass; Olympic white commands a premium and it has aged out beautifully. They sell from $2000-$3500 based on colour and...
