Fender / Precision Bass / 1968 / Bass For Sale

Fender introduced the Precision Bass in 1951, and its powerful sound and indestructible build completely transformed the music world. Despite its single pickup, the bass is remarkably versatile, evident in the fact that you can find the Precision Bass in any musical situation. The bass's alder body is dressed in one of Fender's most distinctive colors, 3-Color Sunburst. Noteworthy is that the finish on the front of the body has faded to a 2-Color Sunburst, while the back remains completely intact. The tortoiseshell pickguard completes the look, and the maple neck with a rosewood-veneered fingerboard remains remarkably smooth to play. The bass has been refretted, and the nut has also been replaced. However, the original Fender open-gear tuners and 4-saddle bridge keep this vintage Precision perfectly in tune. On the neck, we find the stamp 5 28 045 B in green ink, where the 5 refers to a Precision Bass neck with a nut width indicated by the B, in this case approximately 1 5/8 inches. The meaning of the other digits is unclear, but it is likely that these are batch numbers from the production process. In terms of electronics, we find two CTS potentiometers from the 42nd week of 1966, along with a Grey Bottom pickup with a black stamp that unfortunately does not have a date on it. It is clear, however, that some soldering on the backs of the potentiometers has been redone. The bass is in excellent condition for its age, with normal playwear that only enhances the character of this instrument! The bass comes with a TFOA passport and comes in a Fender hardshell case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
