Texsunburst59, if you're not Michael Schenker then you should trim those string ends off your tuning posts on that 66'.

'70s Fender Precision love
- Thread starter Btone
- Start date
I have no reason to post these pics, other than to satisfy those (like me) that have a soft spot for the '70s Fender look and feel..I personally love the natural finish and the TV logo - so, if you've got some passion for the much debated, but (if you pick the right one) great sounding and looking '70s Fenders - ENJOY..
What a beauty!!!!!!
Wish she were mine....
My 74' on the left (Tony Franklin on right). All natural wear after being played by the same guy for 39 years. I got it from that fellow last year, cleaned it up, popped a bridge cover on it, and its been good to me ever since, and will continue to do so for as long as I could imagine (I'm not one to sell a good bass). Sits better in a mix than any bass I've ever played in a group setting with before.

Here's my lefty '75 P-Bass, ash body with a nice, chunky B neck.. she's a heavy one, weight 11.5 lbs. I can live with the weight as she plays great and I love the tone, very resonant and punchy.
This pic shows nicely the lovely wood grain of the body.. it's a 2-piece.

My prize possession, with two friends. 1977, bought used in 1981, and my only gig bass until 2001. I still hope one day to find a matching Jazz.

Just curious.. Does it have gray bottom pickups or black? I started a thread about some 73-74 P's with black bottoms..
I know what you mean, but its only the Fenders for me. I guess the image of right handed Fenders is burned into my brain?👽
Live with it. I'm not complaining just because you're playing the wrong way.
I am not complaining about the way you playing...just saying that appearance of lefty Fender bass makes me feel sea sick haha!!!
Here's my '72 neck'd fretless.
Question, I read an article awhile back by Dan Erlewine about fender neck profiles over the years in which he mentioned they made some p basses with a light U profile in the early 70's.
Mine definitely has this, (I love this profile) but I was just wondering if any of you have seen/felt this in a 70's p as well?
I've played worked on a several early 70's fenders, I even played with another '72 fretless and I've never felt another one with this profile.
