Fender pre-CBS Club: pics mandatory!

Heres my newly acquired September 5th 1963 precision. Had to let go of my 74 Jazz to get my hands on it but It was worth it 100% The neck is wonderfully worn in and the sound is absolutely amazing! Everything is original except for the finish and the Pickguard.

How do you like your B15S? I have been on the fence about getting one of these and putting KT88's in it to rehearse with. I love my B15N but it wouldn't hang with a drummer. Have you tried it yet with a band and if so do you think it would hold up?

BTW I have a March 63' P that I sold half of the stuff in my house to buy and it has been worth every penny. you will love it!

About to buy a 1960 P Bass.

Its refinished and the right horn has been ground down probably due to damage rather than looks.

Will upload photos ASAP.

Hmmmm... I'd be a little concerned about the horn being ground down.

I'm getting it dirt cheap; she'll be a player rather than a show queen.

Not in my possession yet but soon to be.

The refinish included laying down a new decal; as the old one had been worn off. It has a 1970's Logo, (Which I prefer).

Hoping for #66 when the bass gets here.

That poor bass has been mutilated.

 

[MMatFoCBass]

Aye; I'll take better care of 'er!

The seller was posting that bass on a Facebook arguing about why it isn't a $2000-3000 bass. I wouldn't pay more than $800 for it assuming that the pickup is original. Keep in mint that it will have little vintage value to collectors when you consider a price

I'm getting it for 650.00

It's a war amputee!! But cool.

Go for it then! Good luck. I would save up and send it to a reputable refinisher to get a horn put back on and an accurate finish.

But in the meantime play it!

Needs a prosthetic.

Needs a prosthetic.

Wonder if John K does that. He's a master at Fender restorations.

 

[9mmMike]

Indeed he is. I have two 70's builds from him that are stellar.

Its awesome man! The P Bass and that make an excellent combo. It doesn't get super should but keeps up just as well as the V4 I used to have. Its a great amp.
