Hey all on TB!
Wanted to share this ‘78 P-Bass I just acquired. A friend of mine saw a Fender case on someone’s porch for 3 days & decided to knock to see what they were doing with it. Turns out it had a bass in there that their mom played in the church band and she had since passed. He asked if they’d want to sell it & he got it for $100! All original, just missing the ashtray/pickup covers. Neck needed a little adjustment, which it looks like someone may have tried previously at some point but didn’t have the neck off so it gouged the guard a little bit. Gave it about a half turn and it feels perfect now. One connection needed to be re-soldered, otherwise all good under the hood! This thing has a great vibe! All I can think about is how this bass is/was responsible for some of the greatest music of the last century. Funny part for me is this is my first P bass I’ve owned! Let me know what you think!
