Description

When Fender updated the Precision bass in 1958 they probably thought they were just making a couple of tweaks. Instead, they created what has been one of the defining instruments of the 20th century and beyond. For many, there is no substitute.

60 years is a long time for an instrument to be orbiting the sun and going in and out of bars night after night. Along the way it lost of its original luster so a previous owner had it refinished in one of Fender's best custom-colors, Candy Apple Red (clear red over gold). It's accumulated a fair share of bumps and bruises since then and there is a solid headstock repair. Newer set of frets on it as well so it plays like a dream. The most important stuff is still original and intact: the wood and the electronics (plugged in, it's all P-bass).

Lot's of other good stuff here: original tuners, neck plate, great looking tortoiseshell pickguard.

Before the big "guitar boom" happened with the Beatles production number were lower so you tended to get better built and lighter instruments and that is true here. This beauty is only 8.3 lbs.
