Finish Details: | Original |
Body Material: | Ash |
Body Details: | Solid three piece ash body |
Neck Material: | Maple |
Fingerboard Material: | Maple |
Neck Profile: | "C" profile |

Fingerboard Radius: | 7.25" |
Nut Width: | 1-5/8" |
Scale Length: | 34" |
Neck Details: | Bolt-on maple neck with unbound maple fingerboard, dot inlays, and heel-adjust truss rod. The neck has been refretted and the nut has been replaced. The red ink heel stamp has partially faded, but appears to date to 1971. |
Electronics: | Original split single coil Fender pickup with grey bobbins and 1971 date stamp; the treble coil has been rewound. The wiring harness has been replaced, and controls include master volume and tone controls. |
Pickup Measurements: | 9.7k |
Hardware: | The nut and pickguard have been replaced. The bridge and pickup covers are missing. |
Weight: | 9lbs 10oz |
Modifications/Repairs: | -Rewound treble pickup coil -The neck has been refretted -The nut has been replaced -Replaced wiring harness -Replaced pickguard |
Case Details: | Original Hardshell Case |
Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Fender bass shows nice aging, with moderate checking and wear on the glossy finish. The back of the body has heavier checking and wear, and there is heavier wear along the sides and edges of the body as well. The back of the neck is glossy and smooth. |
Serial Number: | 319375 |
Tech Notes: | The bass plays well with low action and minor neck relief; the truss rod has limited adjustability, and so the bass sets up well with 45-100 gauge strings or lighter. The wide frets are medium height with light play wear. The pickup stamps and serial number date to 1971, however the position of the thumbrest screw holes and the body routes are consistent with 1973, and so the bass likely dates to 1973. |
