Fender's first solid-body electric bass, the Precision Bass, was born and released in 1951. Following the success of the Precision Bass, the Jazz Bass was released later, and it continues to influence the music scene today. This time, we have a 1975 model with an ash body and maple fingerboard. It's a rare left-handed model, which is great for left-handed bassists, but it can also be used by right-handed players depending on the settings. 【body】 The overall weight is approximately 4.9 kg. The body is made of ash. It features Fender's signature "Fender Thick-Skin High-Gloss" finish, which uses a polyester base. The natural finish highlights the beautiful grain of the ash. There is some overall weather checking, fading of the top coat, sticker repair marks, dents, cracks in the pickguard, and dullness on the metal parts, but considering the age of the guitar, it is in relatively good condition. The metal covers are missing. 【neck】 The neck is made of one piece of maple. One of the features of this left-handed guitar is the lack of a "PRECISION BASS" logo due to a lack of space for a decal logo. There is weather-checking on the headstock and resulting paint chipping around the tuners, a history of weather-checking repairs around the skunk stripe, paint chipping on the sides of the fingerboard, and some tarnish on the metal parts, but like the body, it is in relatively good condition. The tuners are a little stiff but still function properly. The frets and nut have been replaced once, and while they are low overall, there is no significant wear and playability is excellent. The headstock is 15.0mm thick. The nut width is 41.8mm, equivalent to a B-neck. The neck profile is sturdy. [Electrical system] This P-bass features the simple master volume/master tone controls you expect from a P-bass. Consumable parts like the pot and output jack have been replaced. The pickups are set with the same magnetic field and phase. The heavy white ash body and maple neck, typical of the 1970s wood materials, produce a tight low range and a fast attack. It also features a distinctive compression feel, ensuring a clear definition in a band ensemble. Turn down the tone to enjoy a warm, supple rock bass sound, or a classic, practical precision bass sound.
