Fender Precision Bass Model Solid Body Electric Bass Guitar (1957), made in Fullerton, California, Salmon pink re- finish, alder body, maple neck, tweed hard shell case.
A gigging '50's Fender bass, this late 1957 (probably sold in early '58) Precision sports a very old, thin salmon pink/fiesta red refinish that oozes '50'sPopuluxe charm. A very light, responsive and clear-sounding bass with the earliest "Raised A" version of the then-new split Precision pickup. A joy to play and hear, this is one of the nicest playing Fender basses we have seen in a while!
