1979 MUSICMAN STINGRAY BASS – FRETLESS – WITH ORIGINAL CASE – LIKE PINO PALLADINO

1961 Fender Precision Bass in beautifully worn black finish and a piece of Australia music history.

Previously owned by none less than the amazing Harry Brus (Australian Crawl, Renee Gayer , Kevin Borich, Jimmy Barnes, Ross Wilson and many others) , this instrument has so many stories to tell and has been working hard but it’s still one of the nicest fender basses I have ever played.

Light as a feather due to the alder body and with the very rare and coveted Brazilian rosewood slab fretboard.

The original pickup is just pure magic and the neck is super comfortable and slim .

All parts on the bass are genuine beside the nut and frets which have been redone as they were to worn .

One of the best looking basses I have had the pleasure to own and play and a piece of Australian rock history

One of the nicest rickenbacker I have ever played , all original , light weight and an absolute stunner.

The checking on the finish is something no custom shop could ever replicate.

The neck is slim and action is slow with a superb playability. Classic Ricky thunderous tone with that clarity and growl typical of these instruments.

The original electronic works perfectly and the original hard case is in very nice condition with all the latches still fully functional.

One for the players and collectors.

Very nice and clean vintage Fender Precision Bass, especially considering this beauty is 49 years old. Made in 1975 in USA by Fender in factory natural finish with amazing tone and heaps of sustain. The body has the typical hairline checking of a a nearly 50 years old aged finish and the original white pickguard looks so pretty on it. Great condition on frets, fretboard, trussrod moving smooth left and right and the original pots and pickups are in perfect working condition. Capacitor replaced before I got it but pots and pickups untouched and all dated 1975. All the original hardware is in great nick as well. Really great bass, perfect for a collector or a player Comes with the original Fender Black Tolex case, thumb rest ,pickup and bridge covers as well.

From the 4th year of production, this 61 years old Fender Jazz Bass is just perfection. Great weight, amazing tone, super comfortable neck profile, coveted Brazilian rosewood fretboard and a stunning 3 tone sunburst finish, all topped by the original rare cream tolex hard case, which was only made for less than a year. The alder body is resonant and light, finished in a beautiful 3 colour sunburst where the red hasn’t faded and still nice and vibrant. The pickguard doesn’t have cracks or the common snapped horns and doesn’t show signs of shrinking. The original 1963 pots work without scratches and the black bobbin pickups sounds delightful. Straight neck with a fully functional trussrod and a nice and smooth profile , so comfortable to play. Pickups covers in great condition as the rest of the original hardware. One for players and collectors.
