1961 Fender Precision Bass, refinished in Fiesta Red - Excellent condition. Aside from the finish, this bass is all original and complete, including the Selmer case.
This 1-owner bass came to us via the cousin of its original owner, Robert McNair. He lived in Paisley, Scotland and played the bass locally in bands until the early 80s when he sadly passed away. Since then, the bass has remained in its case with his cousin. Robert clearly looked after the bass and as it has been in the case now for 40 years since his passing, it remains in excellent condition with very little wear and tear. There is no documentation to say when the refinish was done - it is possible that Selmer did the refinish when the bass arrived in the UK, as was common in the early '60s.
There is general light playwear including some small scuffs and dings to the finish, particularly around the edges and on the back of the body. The back of the neck is extremely clean with barely any signs of wear. The headstock is almost as clean with just a couple of very small scuffs along the top edge. The action is med/low. The truss rod functions correctly and the neck is straight with original frets which are in great condition.
This bass has been fully set up in our workshop with a fresh set of D'addario flat-wound strings. The pencil date on the end of the neck is 3/61. The pots are dated to the 7th week of 1961. The pickups have black bobbins and original winds. Serial number: 55756, weight: 8 lbs 13.5 oz / 4.01 kg. Pickup DC resistance: 10.7 k.
