A first-year example of the second iteration of the Telecaster Bass produced from 1972-79, this bass features a Seth Lover-designed Wide Range humbucker in the neck position and an ash body.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNotably lightweight at only 8lbs 5oz and well-balanced on a strap, the slab string through body yields the midrange complexity and punch of ash with the articulate note attack of maple. The Seth Lover-designed Wide Range humbucker in the neck position dishes out particularly thick subwoofer heft, round and full-bodied, with a certain throaty pluck with the foam mute (on the underside of the bridge cover). This Telecaster Bass has been freshly strung with 45-100 roundwound strings, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with easy-playing action and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Medium U, measuring .855” 1st fret, .950” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Maple, 7 ¼” radius\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 34\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 5\/8”, bone\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Clover buttons, “Fender”-stamped\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Six-digit stamp (neck plate)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Factory Markings: Neck heel date stamped Dec, ‘72\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Ash\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Wide Range humbucker (1972 date stamp on baseplate)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume, Tone\u003cbr\u003e\n-Harness: CTS pot dates to ‘72 (replacement Volume pot)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Two-saddle bridge with cover (new foam mute), flat-top knurled knobs\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Three-ply pickguard (added thumb rest mounting holes), “tug bar” finger rest\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe gloss Blonde finish is 100% original with no touch-up or overspray, with light buckle rash on the back at the waist and a few small dings along the lower bout perimeter.
