Hello,
Here I have for sale a nice example of a 1973 Fender Precision that has been loved dearly for the past 48 years. The body was refinished by MJT in nitrocellulose lacquer blonde. The neck was sanded down, but is still sealed. The result is a really nice satin-like feel with a sealed neck, so it’s easy to clean.
Neck stamp says it was made on the 28th week of 1973 on a Wednesday. When I received this bass, it had a set of Lollar pickups in it. I replaced those with a Fender set from 1971. It also has a badass 2 bridge on it, all screws on it turn beautifully with room to raise and lower the action. Pots were replaced and includes a greasebucket circuit, but I can remove it upon request. Truss rod turns beautifully and has barely any tension on it. It has had a fret levelling, though it was beautifully done and the nut was adjusted to compensate.
Tuners, neck, and body are original from 1973.
Pickguard, pots, pickup (although it’s from 1971), bridge, and strap buttons aren’t original.
Weight: 9.3 lbs, though it can be lightened with a fender style bridge and balances nicely.
Back of headstock is slightly rounded due to sanding job by previous owner, but is very minor and doesn’t affect playability.
Comes with unoriginal Fender Hard Case.
I posted this on Reverb for a higher price, but since reverb takes more of my money and the quality of people on Talkbass are better, asking $2250.
