【used】Fender / 1970 Telecaster Bass 4.205kg #293004【GIB Yokohama】

Fender is an American guitar and bass manufacturer founded by Leo Fender in 1946.

The Telecaster Bass, introduced in 1968, is a model that recreates the style of the original Precision Bass.

It features a single-coil pickup and a one-piece maple neck, a configuration that can be considered the origin of the electric bass.

This particular instrument was manufactured in 1970.

The neck end is marked "23 NOV 70," and both potentiometers are made by Stack Pole with a potentiometer date of "304-7051."

Based on these factors, we have determined it was manufactured in 1970.

The body is made of ash, and the neck and fretboard are one-piece maple.

The fading of the body and headstock, as well as age-related paint cracks and peeling, give it a vintage feel.

The pickup has been replaced with a Seymour Duncan SCPB-1.

This guitar has been refretted, renutted, and the fretboard repainted, with approximately 95% of the frets remaining.

The work was done by a professional, and the playability is excellent.

The jack was faulty and has been replaced with a Switchcraft at GIB.

Please note that there is some crackling in all the knobs.

This is a great opportunity to enjoy an early 1970s Fender in a fully playable condition.

Don't miss this chance!

Fret remaining is approximately 95%.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck is in good condition.

The body and paintwork show overall sun damage on the body and headstock, and tarnishing on the metal parts. There are scattered paint cracks, dents, scratches, and paint peeling due to age. Screw holes for the bridge cover, pickup fence, and finger rest are present. The fretboard has been repainted, but there is overall paint peeling on the sides of the fretboard.

The electronics are in poor condition; all knobs produce crackling noises.

The jack was faulty and has been replaced with a Switchcraft by GIB. All bridge saddle screws have been replaced. The bass has been refretted, nut replaced, and fingerboard refinished. The pickups have been replaced with Seymour Duncan SCPB-1s. Schaller strap pins have been installed.
