The $150 1965 Precision Bass restoration thread
- Thread starter Bass4ThePublic
- Start date
Well… here it is! Neck got here and I set it up with ti flats, put the pre cbs tuners on and put the logo on. Big thanks to Jeremy aka @Freekmagnet for fixing up what would’ve been firewood. Seriously. This neck had cracks bumps bruises defretted you name it, I cant think of a more skilled person to take care of and restore this neck.
When I had the squier neck on it, I put labellas on it and the bass had a bite to it that seemed hindered by them, so I went for ti’s. Better for the frets to stay with flats and a nice and lively tone!
Beauty shots!

That looks amazing! Just absolutely right for the era. It is a bass begging to be played now.

Thanks for the kind words fellas. I couldn’t stay with the ti’s so I put on some worn labella LTF… I swear I give labella too much money hahaha. I took a photoshoot with the bass yesterday.
