1954 Fender Precision Bass – ONE OF THE FIRST 1200 FENDER BASSES EVER MADE

Highlights:

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.

1961 Fender Precision Bass – Aussie Crawl, Renee Gayer, Jimmy Barnes , Ross Wilson, Kevin Borich

Highlights:

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

1987 MUSICMAN STINGRAY BASS IN NATURAL FINISH – WITH ORIGINAL CASE

Highlights:

From the Third year under the Ernie Ball ownership , this 39 years old bass is a phenomenal player and a rare piece as well, as rosewood fretboards from this era are really scarce.

First year of the 3band eq.

Early bridge with the serial number on it.

Very light for a musicman, sitting at 4.3kg, the neck is one of the most comfortable I have seen on a ray and was made using a magnificent birdseye maple.

Bass was original black but has been stripped and refinished in natural a long time ago.

This bass has the low end of the early pre Ernieball at half the price.

Early musicman logo on the headstock as well, discontinued the same year.

Original case included

1994 US Ernie Ball Musicman Sterling Bass in Mint Condition With Original Case

Highlights:

Another bass from my personal time machine. This Musicman Sterling Bass is an absolute stunner . Not to be confused with the Asian Musicman Sterling sub brand , this is the original USA Sterling model and it’s based on the stingray, but with a thinner neck and more tonal options. Perfect, not one mark or scuff equipped with the sought after original Flea high mass bridge with mutes. Gorgeous Birdseye maple neck and the sunburst finish is just spot on. Comes with the rare short tolex case which was only available for the first few months of production of this American Musicman Ernie Ball model. A great bass, as a player or collector piece. Renowned for its slightly smaller body and neck profile, the Sterling 4 string bass boasts a big sound. Nine volt active 3 band EQ preamp, 3 position pickup selector switch, and a ceramic humbucker with hum canceling phantom coil come standard, equipping the Sterling to cut through any mix. The optional addition of a pickup in the neck position adds even more versatility to this innovative bass. The Sterling delivers comfort, functionality, and the precision craftsmanship and attention to detail you’ve come to expect from Ernie Ball Music Man.

1976 Fender Precision Bass in Original Natural finish With Original Hard Case

Highlights:

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

1977 Fender Precision Bass in Original Natural finish

Highlights:

Very nice condition Fender Precision Bass, made in 1977 in the US. This bass has a really nice neck profile , not too heavy sitting at 4.4kg and has a really nice growl, classic of this Fender era . All original , just had some copper shielding applied inside the electronic cavity to get a rid of any sort of hum but it’s just copper tape , so easy to remove (I wouldn’t as it’s an improvement and doesn’t devalue it). Frets in good condition and trussrod moves smooth left and right with zero issues. Action in low with no buzz and the original pots and pickups works like new. Great player and a beautiful looking instrument.
