This 1978 Fender Precision Bass pairs a Black finish with the familiar combination of an alder body, maple neck with rosewood board, and split-coil pickup that helped make the model a fixture across countless recordings and live performances. By the late 1970s, the Precision Bass had become a dependable choice for players looking for a direct, authoritative low end with plenty of punch and definition. This example remains largely original, with the pickup and bridge covers missing and the thumb rest removed, while light scraping along the body edges reflects years of regular use. It has the honest wear expected of a bass that's been played, offering the character and feel of a vintage Fender that has earned its marks over time.

Includes OHSC.
