1966 Fender Precision Bass in good condition with a sunburst finish over an Alder body. Serial:167156. Aside from an excellent refret and new nut, it's all original including the case. (The latches still work but it's pretty worn with both ends repaired.) It has a wide and slim C-profile maple neck with a beautifully figured rosewood fingerboard, a 7.25" radius and pearl dots. Supplied with a 3-month warranty and 14-day returns policy.
The Sunburst finish is still vibrant. There are a number of scuffs and dings, mainly around the edges. There are also some large patches of buckle rash on the back of the body. The neck has a lovely grain with light playwear. The headstock has a few very tiny dings around the edges and some light lacquer checking but is mostly free from wear. It's an all-around excellent bass, a joy to play and sounds incredible.
This bass has been fully set up in our workshop and is strung with a set of round-wound strings. The neck is date stamped Oct 66 C. Both pots are stamped 137 6642, dating them to the 42nd week of 66. The pickups date to November 66 and have original winds. The pencil dates are 11-14-66 and 11-23-66. Weight: 8 lbs 8.5 oz / 3.87 kg. Nut width: 44.1 mm, depth at 1st fret 21.8 mm. Pickup DC resistance: 9.9k.
