1978 Fender Precision Bass Sunburst Vintage Bass, 100% Original w/ Case

Up for sale, a 1978 Fender Precision Bass in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This Precision Bass features an ash body and a maple neck capped by a rosewood fretboard, weighing 9lbs 8oz. Pairing the clear note attack and punch of ash with the warmth of the rosewood fingerboard, the original gray bobbin split-coil pickup yields plenty of low end power and thump with a particularly potent upper-midrange growl. This Precision Bass benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 50-105 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
