1961 Fender Precision Vintage Bass Guitar Slab Neck sunburst Resonant 100% Original REAL DEAL!
First, I was tempted to list this one at a fixed price of $9500, with a \"best offer\" option, but as I really need to sell it due to long term unemployment, and am looking after a parent with Alzheimers, it will be listed as an sale. Very low opening offer amount, with . There is a buy it now price at sales open, but that will go away FOREVER after the first offer is placed, as there is .
I will NOT end the sale early, the high buyer gets it. Do not offer if you are not able to pay for it at sales end, You must be paypal verified, with a confirmed address, and over the age of 18.
Second, it is being sold AS IS, no return on this one, period. I will list it completely. fairly, and honestly. If you feel the least bit hinky about it, DO NOT offer!
Third, this will be the most expensive thing I have ever attempted to sell on , and perhaps the most expensive thing you have ever offer on. I would prefer to complete the transaction in person, at my local bank in Cleveland Georgia, where you can inspect the bass carefully, and you can pay me in cash. If you are within driving distance, awesome. If not, I will gladly ship it to you, in the USA ONLY!, If you are NOT in the USA, I will *consider* selling it to you, but you must contact me first, before offerding, and be willing to pay via bank wire transfer in US dollars. I will NOT lie on customs forms. If any of the above violates policy in any way, forget a non US sale.
Now that all of that is out of the way...
The only non original part of this bass, will be a fully functional later 1960\'s black tolex case, otherwise is is 100% original. I am 57 years old, have been playing bass since I was 13, and without a doubt this is the best playing and most resonant bass that I have EVER owned. I HATE offering it for sale, but stuff happens. I have owned it since 1995. Pencil date on neck is 09/61, pickup pocket 8/61. The pots read, ON THE SIDE, best I can tell is 250K-AUD and 304-6114. (this means the 14th week of 1961)
The Pots, wires, solder joints, pick ups, etc all look original to me. Weight of bass is 8.58 lbs, sans covers. Original bridge and pick up covers, and screws are included. Frets are in good condition, still wearing the same strings it had on it when I bought it. Truss rod turns and functions, neck is flat, bass is legit. Will probably need a setup after shipping, but what else is new.
I said it already, but this is both the oldest and best playing and sounding Fender bass I have ever owned, in my 42 years of bass playing/owning. It would NOT BE FOR SALE if I was not among the long term unemployed, period stop.

If you are within driving distance to Northeast Georgia, and want to audition it before purchase, I can meet you at the local police department or a local bank @ 30528 in Cleveland Ga., and you can pay in ca$h for a wee discount to save me shipping costs. Full disclosure, I have ramped up the shipping weight to 70 pounds, while it will weigh less than 30, in order to cover just a little bit of the very high insurance costs to ship this bass. Should shipping and insurance costs to me, above and beyond what you pay, exceed $300., I reserve the right to either a. ask you to pay them, or b. If you refuse, not complete this transaction. Should you somehow pay more than actual packaging, shipping and insurance costs, i will refund the difference to you via paypal. Good luck and God bless.
