1966 FENDER PRECISION - BLACK REFINISH
SOUNDCLOUD AUDIO: https://soundcloud.com/andy-baxter-bass-guitar/66-pb-blk-refin
1966 Fender Precision bass. Black refinish done by Martin Simms at the Simms Custom Shop UK. Other than the finish this bass is all original and complete with case and covers. The tortoise guard has a beautiful swirl with no cracks. The fretboard is nice and dark.
The Black nitro finish has been given a light relic with lacquer checking throughout and various small dings. There was some quite heavy buckle rash on the bass prior to the refinish which had worn a few quite deep grooves right through the finish into the wood. This wear has been left in. Prior to this refinish the bass had quite an amatuer Black sparkle refinish over Sunburst. The finish on the neck and headstock is original. The finish has worn along most of the back of the neck leaving a very smooth feel. The frets are in good shape and have been smoothed and cleaned by my tech. The end of the fretboard just beyond the final fret shows some where.
All the electronics and hardware are in good working order, the truss rod is fully operational. This bass has a great feel and tone. The playability is fantastic having been fully set up by my technician, Chris Ward.
