Description
1964 Fender Precision Bass Candy Apple Red Electric Bass Guitar, Serial #L26263.This 1964 Fender Precision Bass represents a golden era of Fender craftsmanship and tone, and the custom Candy Apple Red finish makes it especially collectible. The Precision Bass was the industry standard for electric bass in the 1960s, and examples from this period are highly regarded for their balance, punch, and overall sonic clarity. With its C-width neck, original components, and authentic aging, this bass delivers both exceptional playability and vintage tone. The factory-original finish has naturally worn in all the right places, contributing to its visual and historical appeal. The inclusion of the original white tolex hard case further enhances its value for collectors.
8.1lbs. Original hard case included. Condition: Good.
1964 Fender Precision Bass, all-original aside from replaced strap buttons. The neck is stamped 5JUL64C, and the pot code 304 6410 dates to the 10th week of 1964. All parts are original, though the solder joints have been refreshed.
The instrument shows moderate finish wear on the front and back consistent with regular use, as seen in the provided photos.
