Fender is an American brand founded by Leo Fender in 1946.

The Precision Bass, introduced in 1951, is known as the world's first mass-produced electric bass and remains a benchmark for bass guitars to this day.

This particular instrument combines a neck from the early 1970s with a body from 1978.

Based on the serial number 389170 on the neck plate and the headstock logo, the neck is believed to be from the early 1970s.

Both potentiometers have the date 1377805.

The pickguard is marked S8635232.

This suggests the body is from 1978.

The body is made of ash, the neck is maple, and the fretboard is rosewood.

The color is 3TS (3-tone sunburst), giving it a 1970s look with the ash wood grain showing through.

The pickups appear to be Fender replacement pickups.

It appears to have been refretted and renutted, but there is no excessive fingerboard modification, and it is in a condition that allows for long-term use.

This is a guitar that allows you to enjoy the thick, sustained PB sound characteristic of vintage guitars. Please give it a try.

The frets have approximately 50% remaining.

The truss rod is in good condition.

The neck shows some high-head bowing. Currently, it is set at 2.0-2.5mm at the 12th fret according to GIB standards. Due to the low fret height, fret buzz may be noticeable with a strong touch. This is particularly noticeable above the 17th fret on the 3rd and 4th strings. It is not noticeable with a higher string action. The tuning machines have stiff torque, requiring some force to tune.

The body and paintwork show signs of use commensurate with its age, such as paint chips, scratches, and dents.
