Product Description
An excellent example of a P-bass
from this era, and it is ALL ORIGINAL apart from the refinished body. Tonally, I’d
describe this bass as very resonant and a bit more bright and present than many
similar age P’s I’ve encountered. It is properly set up with fairly low
action (strings are D’Addario med. gauge Chromes), it plays very evenly up and
down the neck, and string-to-string balance is excellent. The pickup is nice
and strong and sounds exactly like it should. Weight is a very light 8
pounds, 0 ounces with the chrome bridge covers on, give or take an ounce.
The body refinish, which I would describe as
“semi-pro,” was done in nitrocellulose lacquer sometime before I acquired the bass in 1997. It has some sanding scratches, but it conveys a nice authentically vintage look
overall. The pickup wires have been resoldered
to their pot connections (which would have been necessary as part of the
refinishing process), but all parts appear to be original down to the last
screw. From the presence of yellowish white paint in the control cavity and neck
pocket, it is likely that Olympic White was the original color. The serial number and dates present on the neck stamp and pots
are all in the exact range for Sept. 1965. The case is the original blonde tolex
one, in fair-to-good condition. It is functional and all the latches work.
Condition-wise, here are the
details:
There is some finish wear on the treble side of the neck, as shown in one of the photos. Due to the typical cellulose pickguard shrinkage, there are cracks traversing the uppermost screw holes on each side, but they have been successfully glued. The truss rod functions well and
has plenty of slack in both directions. The neck has rarely required any
adjustment since I’ve owned the bass. The frets are in good shape with no
buzzing. The previous owner had some crowning done north of the 12th
fret. I’ve almost always used flatwound strings, so fret wear has been
minimal since I’ve owned the bass.
There are a couple of cracks at the
high end of the fingerboard (shown in one of the photos), but they've been
stable since I’ve owned the bass. A competent repairperson could easily remedy
them if desired.
Please feel to send me a message
with any questions!
