Description
The Fender Precision Bass, the company's first solid-body electric bass guitar, was born and released in 1951. Following the success of the Precision Bass, the Jazz Bass was released later, and both continue to influence the music scene today.

This particular guitar, which arrived in stock this time, was shipped around 1971. It features a highly sought-after custom color scheme of black with a rosewood fretboard.

【body】
The overall weight is approximately 3.9kg. The body is made of alder. The popular black color, which was still a custom color at the time, is a "Fender Thick-Skin High-Gloss" finish using a clear polyester base coat. There are signs of use such as weather checking, dents and scratches commensurate with its age, belt buckle marks on the back of the body, and tarnishing of the parts, but the gloss of the paint itself is good, and considering its age, it can be said to be in relatively good condition. The pickguard has been replaced with a later model, and the finger rest holes are currently slightly misaligned (there are no pickup fence holes in the pickguard). Metal covers are missing.

【neck】
The neck is made of maple and the fingerboard is made of rosewood. There are traces of the string tree being moved and a rice-grain-sized dent near the back of the 5th fret, but like the body, it is in relatively good condition.
The tuners function well, although they are a bit stiff to wind. There is some slight wear on the frets and nut, but there is no extreme neck warp and playability is good. The headstock thickness is 16.9mm. The nut width is 41.2mm. The neck shape is a comfortable width and relatively solid thickness, typical of a B-neck design.

[Electrical System]
The controls are the standard master volume/master tone. The pickups are gray bobbins with clearly visible dating. The tone potentiometer and some of the wiring have been replaced.

This bass boasts the dense and full midrange characteristic of early 1970s alder-bodied basses, combined with a rosewood fingerboard to create a warm, solid low end, a prominent midrange, and a strong, impactful attack. You can enjoy its punchy clarity when playing with a pick, and its sustained fullness when fingerpicking. Combined with its looks, it's a truly rock-and-roll bass.
