help please; just bought a "vintage" fender p

So... Around six oclock this morning, i was stalking the Craigslist for sales (as I often do). A new listing read 72 body, 71 neck fender precision. Asking price was $350. I immediately called to rsvp the instrument if all was as advertised. We arranged a meeting, I saw and tried the bass, and then bought it.

Now here's where you come in; I am certain this bass is valid (as advertised), but over my eight years of playing, I have never owned a fender product, and I know nothing about vintage fenders. I am more than confident that I made a great purchase here, and even if its not what I think it is, I am happy with my buy. It plays great, and the electronics sound clean, no scratches.

Here are some pics of what I can see on the outside. Pickguard is gone (will be purchasing fender tortoise), frets have definate wear, I suspect the pup and bridge covers are not original (or direct replacement), and maybe the body was refinished, has an uneven texture to it.

Again, I feel great about this bass regardless of how good or bad of a deal it was. I just would like some help figuring out exactly what it is I bought. Pics attatched are all on the outside, I don't currently have access to any tools. I'll be buying some in the next couple days, and I'll post pictures of the guts as soon as I can. In the meanwhile, any knowledge you fine people could pass on to me would be very much appreciated.
 
You got a heck of a deal for $350. I'll bet the body is pretty light. You can remove the neck and look for a date stamp on the butt end. Serial number should be in the 300000 range.
 
yep. looks legit to me too.
i can see the tug bar holes on the treble side, so it looks like someone just mounted it as thumbrest on the bass side.

i'd get a new p guard for it (and if it were mine, refin it to stock) but after a good set up, it should be a great p bass. i consider that one a great score. congrats.
 
here 'ya go:

Body is very light... The neck feels great, action is a touch high but still extremely playable. This one has a degree of majesty to it I've never felt in any other bass I've owned.

Lots of pics taken, hope to have them up here sometime this morning.

Thanks everyone for the kind words! I'll be heading to gc later today for some fresh rotosounds, and hopefully they'll have a tort guard in stock :bassist::bassist::bassist::bassist::bassist::bassist::bassist::bassist:
