(Titles omitted)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis instrument is a Telecaster Bass, a model that holds a unique place in Fender's history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body is likely made of ash, and the neck is a one-piece maple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rugged slab body, without any elbow contouring or other modifications, is covered in impressive weather checking and paint peeling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt has a fantastic look that conveys the strength of a guitar that has survived harsh conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe potentiometers have been replaced, and the date stamp on the neck end is faded and illegible, making it difficult to determine the exact age from the date alone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLooking at the hardware specifications, we can see features typical of this era, such as a three-bolt neck joint, a large humbucking pickup positioned very close to the neck end, a Micro-Tilt mechanism, and a Bullet Nut that allows for truss rod adjustment at the headstock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe serial number on the joint plate, which is stamped with an \"F,\" is \"352677.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording to the Fender official website, serial numbers in the 300,000 range are associated with instruments manufactured around 1971-1973, so we believe this instrument was also manufactured around the same time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pickups are the aforementioned original large humbucking pickups.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey produce an overwhelmingly warm and massive, ultra-deep bass sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's somewhat similar in nuance to a Precision Bass with the tone knob turned all the way down.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFurthermore, a PB-type pickup has been added near the center of the body.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs expected of a PB-type pickup, it has a clear, thick, and punchy sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCombining these elements results in a sound that retains the warmth of the neck pickup while boosting the midrange for a more open tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompared to a standard Telecaster Bass, it has a more modern feel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis bass boasts a unique personality in both its looks and sound.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe frets have approximately 50% remaining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe truss rod is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck has a slight upward bow and a slight twist with a tendency for the G string to bow forward. With the string height adjusted to 2.5mm for the G string and 3.0mm for the E string at the 12th fret, it is playable without any problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body and paintwork have a vintage look with overall weather checking, paint chipping, and discoloration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe electronics are in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA PB-type pickup and pickup selector have been added. The potentiometers have also been replaced accordingly. It is possible that the frets and nut have been replaced. The fret leveling appears to have been done. There is a crack near the neck end of the pickguard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume, 3-Way Pickup Selector, Master Tone\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 40.7mm\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 20mm\u003cbr\u003eScale Length: 34 Inch\u003cbr\u003eYear of Manufacture: 1971-1973\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Manufacture: US\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring setup, we use D'addario EXL strings, highly trusted by professional musicians.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharacterized by a powerful attack and rich harmonics, these strings truly deserve to be called a standard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese high-quality strings bring out the instrument's performance and character to the fullest, so please enjoy them as well.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGIB craftsmen will adjust the instrument for easy playability before delivery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Hard Case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText: Kaigo Kawami\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspector: Kawami\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduct Photos: Muragishi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGIB 3-Month Warranty Included\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDetails on Trade-in Purchase Here\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(Warranty is only valid for purchases made within Japan)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e●Price includes VAT \u0026amp; Duties \u0026amp; Shipping Fee\u003cbr\u003eFree Shipping Worldwide.
