NBD: 1975 Fender Precision Bass

[Richard I]

Hi!
I'd like to share with you my new super clean/mint Fender P Bass from 1975!

I'm thrilled, It's almost one year since I fell in love with a '78 and then started to look for one.
That's exactly what I was looking for: natural/maple with TV logo

All original, with covers, thumb rest, tag, case and cable.

Pu and pots dated 1975. Oh, and it pretty light: 3.9-4.0 kg! 70s tone to die for, definately a keeper for me.

Wow! Congratulations! So good to find just what you're looking for. Enjoy it!

Sweet!!
I have a 75 P and I love it. IMO, a black guard would look great on that body also!

 

[Vinny_G]

It looks exactly like my bedside table but I love it (the bass, not the bedside table). Congratulations!

Nice score!

Auguri! Love that natural finish on those 70s basses.

Very nice! I am about 2 years into my early-70s P love affair, and I can attest to the beauty of your new darling. Congrats!

 

[EagleMoon]

Looks just like my first bass. Same year and same color. Congrats!

One piece ash body?

It's on its way home
Gotta admit: I bought a WD replacement, the 70s "reissue" one.

Kudos for being patient and digging for the perfect one for you. Looks great!

Thank you Oren, definately worth the effort.

One piece ash body?

Almost: one little piece attached next to the controls.

I may be alone here, but I prefer the white guard. That's the P bass that was in the Fender catalog I drooled over when I was 13. I'd leave it.

You're not alone

Awesome!! Congrats on that score.

Nope, Im absolutely with you! I think the white pickguard looks more fresh and "pops". But everyone has their own thing and I'm glad we have options! Rock on!
