1962 Fender Precision Bass in excellent condition with a Sunburst finish over an Alder body. It has a wide C profile Maple neck with a beautiful dark rosewood veneer fingerboard, a 7.25" radius and clay dots. Serial: 78558.
Superb all-original example in fantastic condition. It is supplied with its original brown tolex case ( also in excellent condition) and the original leather strap and instruction manual.
This is a fantastic playing and sounding instrument. It has an amazing neck, and the frets have plenty of life left in them, having most likely been strung with flats its whole life. There are a few small scuffs & dings and patches of general playwear to the body finish, but nothing major. Overall, it's in wonderful condition, and the Sunburst remains vibrant. The back of the neck has some playwear through the finish along the edges. The headstock is very clean with just a few small scuffs along the top edge. Everything remains structurally sound with no breaks or repairs, including the pickguard, which is fully intact with minimal shrinkage.
This bass has been fully set up in our workshop with a fresh set of La Bella 760FS 45-105 flat-wound strings. The neck is straight, and the truss rod works correctly. The neck date is Nov '62. The tone pot dates to the 37th week of '62 and the volume pot to the 23rd week of '61. The pickups have Black bobbins and original winds. Weight: 8 lbs 8 oz / 3.86 kg. Nut width: 44 mm. Depth at 1st fret: 21.5 mm.
