Nice fingerboard on the Precision.

Nice bass, being its a 63, are the shoes still charged or have they lost thier magnatism ? and I would imagine the bridge must have a hell of a tail lift on it givin the age of the bass, hopefully I will be off for the guitar show, would be cool to see, I can only imagine what the price tag on it will be,

Definitely let's be in touch, Angelo. It will be good to see you again! I'll check the magnetism.

Nice fingerboard on the Precision.

Really tough, tough bass to have offered. The neck on this one, Jeff, is rather cold. Round, not very wide, more like a '56 or before. The first '57 that doesn't have a friendly neck profile. Otherwise, in incredible shape!

That's a rare one, no question. Beautiful Fireglo. I'd want to make sure the guard and the guts are original, as that tug bar seems just too far down!

But, ya never know...

I have shots under the guard, Andy. I will post them soon. It will be helpful for everyone.

So will this be listed on ha.com before July? Is it going up for auction?

Yes, Tom. Probably not for another 3 weeks or so. Keep checking the site or ask me. Still describing & photographing for the Valley Forge Auction.

1963....my birth year. Sadly I don't think I'll be owning one of these in this lifetime though!

That's gonna be out of my price range - but I am genuinely surprised by how clean it is for it's age!

$11,500 with buyers premium. Not bad considering the mods.

Here are some real high rez photos. This site also includes a very scarce 1957 Fender P-Bass:

Both basses are VERY tasty
