NOBD: 1963/64 Olympic White Precision Bass

Thanks! The guys is mostly a collector/admirer. He picked all of the basses up about 20 years for almost nothing before they skyrocketed.

Recorded a quick clip comparing my '71 and my '64. '71 goes first, '64 at 0:35. Volumes and tones open full bore, both strung with D'Addario Chromes (64's are fresh), no effects other than compression.

id be curious to hear the 64 pickup in the 71 and see how much is the bass vs the pickups. my 64 has a hot pickup wound to about 12k thats got grind like that. while i was having it repaired a while back, i put in a fender original and it was mellower like your 71.
