1975 Fender Precision Bass
A lightweight, walnut finished P-bass from the mid 70s in very fine condition. This one scores high marks here thanks to its great sounding pickup, surprisingly light weight of just 8.7lbs, excellent original frets, and a careful in-shop set-up. 1970’s Fenders are admittedly hit and miss, but we’ve noticed that the P-bass pickups from ’73 to ’75 are consistently great sounding and, when coupled with a lightweight bass like this one, the tone is all there and more.
The bass has repaired solderjoints and a replaced pickguard. The pickguard was drilled for a mini toggle switch that has since been removed, but the little 3/16” hole remains. Pots and capacitors are original but the bass side of the pickup has been rewound. Playability is excellent, and there’s plenty of vibe and classic P-bass tone to be had.
Alder body with walnut finish. Black pickguard, maple neck, original tuners, nut, frets, and hardware.
With original hardshell case.
