You're welcome. I LOVE digging up history. Usually I focus on Washburn history for their basses (and guitars), but I could not pass this Fender article up that I found in a stack of early "Guitar Player" magazines. In fact, my first bass in 1972 happened to be a white 1972 Fender Precision I bought brand new....and...stupidly sold a couple years later. I know, I know...spank me.
No thanks, I'm not into that sort of thing. I bought my first Fender bass in '73 and, to be totally honest, it wasn't exactly worth much more than what I paid for it - $225 w/HSC out the door. So, FWIW, you're off the hook IMO.
Yeah, amazing fellow indeed. So much history gets lost over the years it is so worth resurrecting it when you stumble across it (much less it is valuable for settling arguments--and the record-- between people who are both arguing from the same point of not knowing first hand facts from those who were there).
