New Bass Day :) 74' Precision w/ pics!

[TheDialog]

Round, it's a '74, totally marked that wrong

I dated the entire bass to be original minus the changed nut so that a 105 could be strung versus a 100. In the book the illustrated history of the fender bass there are photos of precisions with a black pickguards dating back to the 60's.

Tiger, I really appreciate that! The new axe takes great photos haha

Sunburst finish with black pickguard?? and not the old school 51-style.

Never seen one before.
Anyone have pics?

I'll try to scan some for you Round.

I get to use it tonight! Anyone in Baltimore, MD come out to Sonar for Change Up Mag Fest... DJ Logic closes the mainstage. We play 2 out of 5 on the mainstage.

i will second bump it because i have been expecing a review of how it played live..must not be too bad or we would have seen a "man do i regret doing this" thread

Haha, your idol, it was pretty sick! It plays extremely smooth and the tone is spot on. I set it up the night before and the action was great. Not extremely low as Fenders are not known for that, but perfect height to always know where you are on the neck. No complaints here

Congrats buddy, enjoy your bass!
I just got a new Fender too! (watch my next thread)

Black guards started showing up in mid-'74 actually.

Hope your show with Voodoo Blue went well!
