Fender Precision Bass 1963
For sale is my Pre-CBS Fender Precision Bass from 1963, which has been refinished in a beautiful nitro 3 tone sunburst. It has a very dark (almost black) fretboard and clay dots, and it seems like the frets are the originals too. The body has the nice deep contours that would get less rounded in later years.
The pickup is the original black bobbin type, and the pots date to week 20 of 1963. The other parts seem correct and original too, apart from most pickguard screws, thumb rest screws and new lead wires for the pickup.
In order to prevent further damage to the pickguard, the original holes have been doweled before the refinish, and redrilled to accommodate the original pickguard.
Like many of these old P’s, this one also has the broken tip of the pickguard at the output. This has been put together and is supported on the back by a remnant of an aluminum guard.
All hardware and electronics function like they should. The neck is straight, and the truss rod responds well in both directions. The frets show wear and would ideally need some work somewhere in the future. But on the other hand, it doesn’t affect playability. The bass plays well with a comfortable medium low action.
The bass is currently strung with La Bella flats, the classic combination. The sound is terrific, warm and woody.
It’s a real lightweight; only 3,67 kg on my kitchen scales!
The original no logo hardcase is included, though it’s in mediocre shape. One latch is missing, another one replaced, and overall it just shows it’s age. The wooden shell is still sturdy though.
Included is also the original chrome bridge cover with screws. The pickup cover is a modern repro from Fender. There are ways to age it to make it a better fit for this 63yo bass.
All in all it’s a fantastic specimen of a pre-cbs Precision Bass.
Asking €7300
Partial trades (bass/guitar stuff) are negotiable. I’m not looking for anything specific at the moment, so feel free to surprise me. Decent offers only please.
I am located in the Netherlands. Pickup is preferred, but shipping could be done as well (arranged by buyer or seller). Payment can be done by banktransfer.
Ps: I’ve got more pictures available on request.
