Fender Precision Bass® | 1977
Here at Sun-Sounds Music Shop, we’ve just taken in an absolutely killer vintage Fender Precision Bass all ready and setup to lay down the low-end for its next lucky owner. It's a genuine 1977 Fender Precision Bass in outstanding condition for its age. This is the real original deal, straight out of the golden era of CBS-era Fender when these basses were built like tanks and still had that unmistakable ’70s mojo.
Key details:
- Classic three-tone sunburst finish over lightweight ash body
- Smooth, dark rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays
- Original split-coil pickup delivering that huge, growling ’70s P-Bass tone
- Both chrome bridge cover and pickup cover included.
- Original Hard Case with internal orange plush
Included is the correct-period Fender hard case with the iconic orange plush interior; the one every collector wants. Case is solid, latches work perfectly. The condition of this instrument is very clean for a 48-year-old player. Typical light checking on the finish, some honest playwear all around the body and neck, but no cracks, damages or refinishing. The neck is straight and the truss rod functions perfectly, frets were recently dressed and have tons of life left. Freshly set up with low, slinky action and that perfect vintage thump.
This is the P-Bass that recorded countless hits in the late ’70s and early ’80s; now it can be yours. Price reflects the complete, original package with the correct orange-case goodness. Come down to Sun-Sounds Music Shop, plug it in, and try not to fall in love ... or do if it calls for it.
First come, first served – these don’t show up this clean very often.
