Description
This is the ultimate all original & perhaps the very last production Pre-CBS Precision Bass w/a Maple neck & all early ’59 features in untouched original condition. It has its original slightly faded 3-Tone Brown’burst finish over a very lightweight Alder body dated 3/59 & weighing in at a scant 8 lbs. 12 oz. These 4/59 were the last month made Maple Necks & are quite wide & have a flat/thin feel like no others. It’s sporting a very low serial # (35XXX) stamped on its 4-bolt neck plate, its original Gold anodized pickgard has that luscious color used only from 1957-1969. Its split Pickup is super smooth w/that quintessential funk tone !, Its pot date codes are from the 25th week of 1958, Its so cool from its nickel tuners to its tight threaded saddle bridge, its all original in all respects & still retains its bridge & pickup covers along with every single screw from new. She has a gorgeous patina for a 65 year old original, it plays & feels incredible, other than having some major play time, she’s still rather Excellent. 1 of the coolest & most desirable examples on Earth, she comes complete w/its original brown tolex gig bag.
