1954 Fender Precision Bass – ONE OF THE FIRST 1200 FENDER BASSES EVER MADE
$44,500.00
One of the nicest example from the first generation of the Fender Precision Bass. With a graciously aged butterscotch finish, it’s just perfection and plays beautifully as you would expect from one of these 51-54 Pbasses. Detlef Schmidt is the author of what’s considered the most accurate book about the first generation of the Precision Bass, he collected as many serial numbers as he could and this one is featured on his list. The neck has a great patina with the classic finish wear at the back, which is common to these early 40s and 50s Fender instruments. Flat head screw on tuners, neckplate and pick guard as supposed for these. Original covers still there and came with a tweed case that looks like may have been externally modified but looks all original inside, although is hard to confirm. Bass is completely original, with pots perfectly working as well as the black bobbin pickup and the original paper capacitor. It came in with a reissue pickup but the original 1954 black bobbin (which sounds amazing) was inside the tweed case and is now back with the bass and rest of the wiring is untouched. The finish has a gorgeous checking and looks like they patched a couple of extra screws holes (possibly a thumb rest) but they are barely noticeable. Bass is very light and resonant with an incredible sustain due to the string through the body. The pencil dates are unfortunately not legible anymore but the serial of this bass is present on the bridge and can be found on Detlef Schmidt’s book. These early models are becoming incredibly hard to come by and this one is a great example.

1962 Fender Precision Bass in Fiesta Red Finish With Original Case and Handtag
1979 MUSICMAN STINGRAY BASS – FRETLESS – WITH ORIGINAL CASE – LIKE PINO PALLADINO
Possibly the rarest and most iconic version of the musicman Stingray, completely original and with case, original strap and catalogue, this bass is not just just a rarity, but one of the most iconic bass guitars of all times. Just like the one Pino Palladino used in the 80s with Paul Young, this 1979 original fretless musicman Stingray comes from my personal collection and will be listed only for a limited time so if you are interested, don’t hesitate to contact me. I have owned this beauty for a few years now and I have looked after it, servicing it regularly and oiling the fretboard to make sure it stays nice and dark. The body is unreal with one of the nicest timber figuring I have seen on one of these pre Ernie ball basses. The Musicman black strap is extremely rare as well and so is the catalogue inside the original black tolex case. There is also a musicman brass buckle from 1978 inside the case. Ernie Ball has made a reissue of these which I have tried and let me tell you, it’s not quite the same. Regretful sale but I have just purchased an expensive bass and something has to go, although if I sell something else in the meantime I will take the listing down and put this gem back in my collection.
FENDER KINGMAN ACOUSTIC BASS WITH HARD CASE AND EXTRAS
Fender Kingman Acoustic Bass In immaculate condition, with $400 extras and a professional setup. Just setup by my luthier, it now plays beautifully and with a very low action and a great tone. It comes with a hard case instead of the gig bag they normally come with. Also included are a Boss TU80 tuner and a Genuine Fender leather strap (RRP$200). This bass plays way better than any kinsman I have tried in store due to the professional setup, it’s just magnificent. Inspired by the iconic designs of Fender electric guitars, California Player acoustics evoke the west coast spirit of adventure and freedom, inviting musicians to explore their individual creativity and disrupt the status quo. Crafted with an X-braced solid spruce top and laminate sapele back and sides, the compact mid-sized auditorium body of the Kingman Bass produces a deep, punchy, and articulate tone and features a cutaway for convenient access to the upper frets. The bound nato neck is includes block inlays with a slim “C”-shaped Jazz Bass profile. It is an easy-to-play short 30″ scale length. Other notable details include open-gear vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, a GraphTech NuBone nut and saddle for focused fundamental tone, and a Fishman Presys preamp system that allows detailed fine-tuning of the bass’s amplified sound when performing or recording.
1976 Fender Precision Bass in Original Natural finish With Original Hard Case
Really nice wood grain for this 1976 Fender Precision Bass.
This 49 years old stunner is very light and makes the perfect player without breaking the bank.
Has been played but it’s still all original and retain the natural factory finish.
Frets were quite worn so it had a professional regret and has no buzz and a nice low action now.
Like most of the natural finished fender from this era , a fair bit of the clear coat peeled but the undercoat and sealant are still intact and in good condition and had some clear poly touch up.
The pickguard retains the original sticker with serial matching the headstock one.
Body and neck stamped armenta which is consider one of the best fender workers of his time.
Pots and pickups dated 1976 with untouched solder joints.
Overall a great instrument with a solid B profile neck and a marvellous tone and a very light and comfortable weight.
Comes with original vintage Fender hard case
