Vintage 1978 Fender Precision Bass Sunburst Maple With HSC

1978.  That's the year of Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees, National Lampoon's Animal House and when Ben & jerry's opened their first ice cream shop.  It's also when Fender gave birth to this killer Precision Bass.  Over the years, it's been modded and played plenty, but is still in good shape - after nearly half a century, it's ready to keep going.

This vintage bass is in very good condition, especially considering it's age, and comes with a hardshell case.  The techs in our shop have set it up to play perfectly, so it's ready to go!
