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.

2018 US FENDER PRECISION PARALLEL UNIVERSE BASS LIMITED EDITION WITH ORIGINAL CASE
Immaculate condition for this Fender bass , from the 2018 parallel universe limited edition. Only 400 of these basses were made. Just like several other offerings in the Parallel Universe Collection, such as the Jaguar Strat, the Jazz Tele and Strat-Tele Hybrid, the Telecaster PJ Bass mixes and matches several elements from Fender’s history. The authentic style extends from the slab body, distinctive single-ply black pickguard to the dual-concentric volume knobs and vintage spaghetti logo on the Telecaster-style headstock — original-era touches brought into the present. What’s more, the neck recalls the time of James Jamerson, as it’s based on a ’63 P Bass profile ideal for funky, thumb-over playing, and the 9.5″-radius fingerboard makes for fast, low action. But in addition to the Custom Shop ’60s P Bass split-coil middle pickup, the Telecaster PJ Bass also boasts a Custom Shop ’60s Jazz Bass single-coil bridge pickup to give you even more tonal options. “A lot of people like the versatility that you can get out of a P Bass that has both styles of pickups,” noted Allen Abbassi, Senior Product Manager for Fendr Electric Guitars and Basses. To control each pickup, there is a stacked volume knob, where the top knob adjusts the volume of the Precision Bass pickup and the bottom adjusts the Jazz Bass pickup. Other premium accoutrements include a nitrocellulose lacquer finish that lets the body breathe for true tonal character and a vintage HiMass bridge with enough heft for rock-solid sustain and intonation. In all, the ’51 Telecaster PJ Bass has the look of the bass that started it all, but several contemporary trappings. The result is a bass that is punchy, growling, seismic and like nothing you’ve heard or seen before. COMES WITH ORIGINAL CASE.

1983 Fender Stratocaster Guitar in Rare Candy Apple red Finish – Amazing condition and original case – Dan Smith Era
1983 Dan Smith Era Strat in rare candy apple red finish and in mint condition. All Original beside a replaced nut. This 1983 Dan Smith Era Stratocaster stands as a testament to the innovative period under Dan Smith’s leadership at Fender. Dan Smith served as the president of Fender Musical Instruments Corporation from 1981 to 1985, overseeing a pivotal era of change and revitalization for the iconic guitar brand. It has a master volume and master tone, with the output on the front side in place of where the tone pot usually is, which was one of the few innovations on these rare Dan smith strats. These guitars are known for their distinct features, including a smaller, more compact headstock, a six-point synchronized tremolo bridge, and a unique 4-bolt neck plate design. The black finish adds a touch of elegance to the instrument. Dan Smith’s contributions at Fender during this period revitalized the company’s reputation for producing high-quality guitars, and his influence is still felt in the legacy of instruments like the 1983 Dan Smith Era Stratocaster.
