Description
1964 Fender Precision Bass Sunburst Electric Bass Guitar, Serial #L30719.1964 Fender Precision Bass in original Sunburst finish. This beautiful example is remarkably clean, with only a few minor dings and light scuffing to the finish. The neck is dated 5JUN64C, and the pots date to early 1964, consistent with a Pre-CBS build. The original frets show minimal playwear. Includes a very clean, black no-logo Fender hard case.
8.8lbs. Hard case included. Condition: Excellent.
This 1964 Fender Precision Bass represents one of the most desirable eras in Fender history-right before the CBS transition. With its classic Sunburst finish, dark Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, and vintage-correct appointments, it offers both historical significance and exceptional craftsmanship. Pre-CBS P-Basses are highly sought after for their unmistakable tone, solid feel, and enduring value. The light cosmetic wear on this instrument is minimal, making it an outstanding candidate for both collectors and serious players. Its originality, paired with the clean condition and early 1964 electronics, makes this an investment-grade instrument that captures the magic of Fender's golden era.
