Help ID-ing bass

[BHughes81]

Found a Fender fretless precision for sale locally. I’m very interested as I have neither a fretless or a P-bass. Looks to be in good condition but I can exactly make out what I’m looking at. Here’s what I see.

multi-lam pick guard consistent with at least MIM Femders
Vintage style saddle barrels
Truss rod adjust at the heels
No holes drilled out for either ash trays or tug bars
Logo consistent with 62 reissue headstocks I’ve seen

asked for pics of rear of headstock to determine country of manufacture. Asking here so I can jump on it sooner rather than later.

Looks to me like a Fender ‘62 reissue but I can’t find an example without a silver logo.
Is that logo maybe silver but just badly lit?

 

[BHughes81]

No more pics at this time. I asked for more but she’s asking $80 so I’m kinda wanting to just snatch it up then figure it out. Even if it is just parts which I doubt it still looks like solid and a steal.

$80? If it's still up for grabs don't argue just get it. Even if it's a MIM if you wanted you could sell it 4x what you're paying.
You can't even get a Glarry or HB P bass for that price. If you don't, someone else will snatch it up.

looks like an allparts neck converted to fretless on some P body. If the neck is decent it could be a good bass.

That’s a “no brainer” for me, I’d already have it! Personally I drop a C-note and roll out quickly, lol. You can’t even find a loaded body for that price, good luck!

Yeah, the decal is gold instead of silver. I don't know what that means.

Impressive to me are the tuners. They are the vintage style but the tuner pegs are chromed and rounded edges just like the original pre-CBS Kluson's. I don't know.

Gotoh's vintage tuners have nickel pegs and are sharp edged.

(No router hump in the cut-away.)

Just buy it!!!!!!!!!!

IF EVERY part of that bass was fake, it would be worth more than $80.

I don't even want a fretless, but I'd still grab it for 80 beans.


T$

Yup. No brainer.

Definitely looks defretted but that’s fine.

A '7ender' imprecision. Buy it.

A tusq nut is about 18 dollars. Some TBers would charge you 20 for used strings to be paid PP FF and send it after 2 weeks. If you go glamping they will charge you 50 for a small bundle of firewood. I hope this value analogy helps you decide now. You're killing us. Please say you bought it.

Even a Squier is worth more than $80.

 

[Bill Whitehurst]

Just grab it.
If you don't like it, you'll still be able to turn a profit when you move it on.

80 dollar you say... Locally where....?

Looks like a deal at $80 to me. I’d already be playing it.
