{"product_id":"03-2800005257458","title":"[SN 324163] USED Fender \/ 1971 Precision Bass 3-Tone Sunburst [03]","description":"We’ve just received a 1971 Fender Precision Bass in 3-Tone Sunburst!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nAfter being acquired by CBS, Fender refined many of its manufacturing methods and parts to improve production efficiency.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe company began sourcing and using large quantities of parts at once and shifted from tube to solid-state amplifiers, steering the brand into a new era.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nBased on the serial number, neck date, and pot date, this instrument can be identified as a 1971 model.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe body is crafted from American basswood with subtle grain patterns, while the neck features flat-sawn maple with a rosewood fingerboard.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe headstock features the modern \"Fender PRECISION BASS\" logo along with the PAT NO. used from 1968 to mid-1976, and is equipped with nickel tuners bearing the Fender relief logo.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck, with a nut width of approximately 40mm, features a round-profile rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot position markers.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe frets appear to have been recently replaced and are jumbo frets with ample height.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck date, \"5 07 71 B,\" indicates that it was manufactured in 1971.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nIt features the body shape from 1968 onward, which lacks the bulge next to the neck pocket. Given that American basswood was used for the body, it can be determined that this is a model from before 1972. The pickguard is a 4-ply vinyl tortoiseshell, and the bridge features stainless steel saddles with a longer screw for the first string.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe pickups have gray bobbins, but I was unable to identify any features that would help determine the exact year of manufacture.\u003cbr\u003e \n\"429X\" \"5XXX\"\u003cbr\u003e \nThe volume pot has been replaced with a modern one, but the tone pot is a Stackpole Pot from Week 16 of 1971, as indicated by the “304-7116” marking.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe finish is the classic 3-tone sunburst, and this particular guitar features a beautiful gradient that starts from the outer edges.\u003cbr\u003e \nOverall, there are some weather checking, scratches, and dents in the finish due to age, but there are no issues with playability. The frets have good height, and I have confirmed that the truss rod turns 60 degrees in both directions.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nS\/N: 324163\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 3.95 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Original black hard case\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition: B+: Some scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 324163\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 1971\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Hard case\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: Hard case\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 3.95 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition: Overall, there are weathering, scratches, and dents due to age\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not visible in the photos or not listed here.
