Up for sale, a 1971 Fender Precision Bass in collector-grade condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and catalog. This exceedingly well-kept P Bass is an alder-bodied example, lightweight and balanced on a strap at only 8lbs 5oz.
Acoustically, this bass offers a very balanced, smooth response with enhanced note attack and treble detail via the maple fingerboard. Via the gray bobbin split-coil pickup, this Precision Bass dishes out plenty of warmth, rich bass register thump and treble growl, particularly round and broad with the Tone knob rolled back. This Precision benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with fresh 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action and accurate intonation.
