You could always put it up in the classifieds for a specific price and see?

S8------ meens it's a 1978.

If pickups are only thing non-original, $1500-$1800 range..

Don't delete it. Just pop for $20 to be a supporting member. That means you are not only supporting a great site, but you can sell to your heart's content.

I got the same guitar all original. I won it for $1200 on ebay. Mines all original and is in a little better shape than yours. never weighed it, but my 2004 jazz bass is at least a pound heavier. Mine was assembled from parts from 1977-1978 era according to the numbers on the electronics and neck.

less than half of that is more accuate.

Yeah...70's Fender prices have crashed even more than my sex life since I had my third kid.

 

[Johnny Alien]

True. But on top of that this is a late 70's Precision and they have never really took off yet. A great condition 77/78 would max out at around $1700 and this one has a swapped pickup and is in rough condition.

 

[johnk_10]

IMO, in today's economy, it's worth $1K-$1.2K tops in that condition without the original pickup, and i generally value vintage fender basses on the higher side.
