1969 Fender Precision Bass

A lightweight and resonant Fender P-bass with a wonderfully round neck profile and an excellent-sounding pickup. This 1969 Fender Precision is in excellent, all-original condition, and has a whole lot to offer.

The original pickup is full-bodied and punchy and has excellent clarity. The bass-side coil of the original pickup has just been professionally rewound and is perfectly matched to the treble coil. The pickup’s DC sum is 10.6k. The wiring harness is otherwise completely original, with potentiometers dated to the 42nd week of 1966.

The neck - dated to October, 1969 - has a 34” scale with 1-5/8” nut and 1st fret depth of .845”. Neck depth at the 12th fret is .966”. Total weight is a scant 8.7lbs.

The sunburst finish has aged attractively, showing light fading and a bit of playwear throughout. Playability is excellent thanks to new frets and a set-up by our shop.
