1963 Precision Bass

I'd say it would sound even better if the pups had a cushion or springs under them to bring them up to a more desirable height.

Cool bass!

I thought that too, but the strings are so low that the pup height is perfect sunk in like that.

So I had a customer bring this in to work the other day. I never figured I'd even see something like this in person, much less actually play one, much less play it.

But here you are, in all it's roadworn glory, a 1963 Fender Precision Bass. Terrible pictures are my bad, I'll see if I can't get some more later.

Now, I don't normally subscribe to the school of though that insinuates that older guitars are just better by default, but this was the nicest playing bass I've ever touched. Sounded incredible, just butter.

This story doesn't really go anywhere. I just thought it was freaking cool.

loving the dark Brazilian rosewood board. What a beauty

Yes... it has a real sheen on it.
