Owned and played regularly with the Barenaked Ladies for the past many years, this refinished 1968 Fender Precision Bass has been one of Jim Creeggan’s main instruments since acquiring it from Walton’s bassist Keith Nakonechny some years back. Through most of its tenure with Creeggan the bass wasn’t yet refinished, but the original finish had already been stripped off; a quick google search will yield countless photos from Barenaked Ladies shows with Jim rocking on this very P-Bass.
Gloss black finish that’s aged naturally since being redone, replacement pickguard, replacement pots and wiring, rewound original grey bobbin pickups, new KTS Titanium bridge saddles. Original neck finish, original tuners and hardware, original frets. Nicely set-up in our shop, great neck feel, strong pickup. It’s a fun bass, and knowing its history makes it all the more special. It’s surprisingly resonant and loud unplugged, and we suspect the new Ti saddles have an appreciable effect on tone.
The neck has a comfortably rounded carve typical of the later 1960s. The nut measures 1-5/8” and first fret depth is .875”. Scale is 34”, and 12th fret neck thickness is 1.00”. The pickup measures 10.6k, and the bass weighs 8-3/4 pounds.
