1972 Fender Precision Bass Natural Ash Vintage Bass w/ 1 1/2" Nut Width, Case
Up for sale, a 1972 Fender Precision Bass in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. This Precision Bass is notable for its slender “A” 1 1/2“ nut width, more commonly seen on the Jazz Bass.
Weighing 9lbs 3oz, this Precision Bass features an ash body and a one-piece maple neck. The gray bobbin split coil pickup delivers a smooth, bold growling quality with potent low end heft and sweet treble articulation, particularly round and full-bodied with the Tone knob dialed back. This Precision Bass has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
