1962 Fender Precision Bass with a Lake Placid Blue Refinish. It has a beautiful flamed maple neck and headstock which have also been refinished. It has a wide C profile neck, a beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25" radius and clay dots. It weighs 9 lbs 4.5 oz / 4.21 kg. Serial:80296. Supplied in a Hiscox hard case.
Body and neck/headstock refinish / new decal / refretted with a new bone nut / previously fitted with EMG pickups - as a result, a small section of the control cavity was enlarged to accommodate the battery / one half of the pickup was recently rewound by Lee Lavarack of Toltec pickups in Leeds / there's a crack in the guard running underneath the volume knob / the volume pot has been changed - the tone pot is original and dates to early '62.
From the previous owner:
"Bought from Top Gear Music in Denmark St, London in 1969. EMG pickups fitted by Ealing Music Store 21/05/84. Refret and bone nut by Luthier Ray Cooper sometime around 1990."
This is a fantastic playing and sounding instrument, it has a chunky neck which is straight and plays smoothly. The frets are in very good condition having been dressed in our workshop. The finish on the body has lots of playwear. The back of the neck is extremely clean. The headstock has a few small scuffs around the edge.
This bass has been fully set up with a fresh set of D'Addario flat-wound strings. The end of the neck is stamped June '62 C. The pickups have Black bobbins. All-around fantastic bass. Nut width: 43.6 mm. Depth at 1st fret: 20 mm. Pickup DC resistance: 10.9k.
