1954 Fender Precision Bass

This is the ultimate all original very earliest production “Contour” bodied Pre-CBS Precision Bass w/a fat maple neck w/Leo’s 1st type features in untouched original condition, it has its original See-Thru Butterscotch finish over a very lightweight super grainy Ash body pencil dated on a piece of tape inside the control cavity 8/54 by “Caroline” & its neck pocket is also pencil dated 7/54, these 1st issue Fender Contour bodies are stunning, she has a very full sized Maple Neck pencil dated T.G. 5/54 by Tadeo Gomez, it’s sporting a very low serial # 0567 stamped on its original bridge plate, its original Black Bakelite pickgard has that gorgeous contrast used only from 1951-1955, brings this all together, its single coil pickup is super potent, its pot date codes are illegible covered in solder, its so cool from its nickel tuners to its large rubber saddle bridge, its all original in all respects & still retains its bridge & pickup covers along with every single screw from new, this is perhaps Leo’s prettiest P Bass & has a gorgeous patina for a 71 year old original, it plays & feels incredible, she’s absolutely exceptional in all respects having almost no wear, 1 of the mintiest & most desirable examples on Earth, she comes complete in her original ultra rare brown tolex “Poodle” shaped hard case.
