Fender / Precision Bass Candy Apple Red / 1965 / Bass For Sale

This 1965 Precision Bass shines in its beautiful Candy Apple Red finish, an iconic color that Fender introduced in 1963 to replace Shell Pink. Fender applied the color to an Inca Silver undercoat in the early years, but switched to a gold undercoat in 1965 that gave the Candy Apple Red a richer and slightly darker hue, as we can see on this Precision Bass! At the heart of this P-Bass is the powerful single coil pickup, which delivers that unmistakable deep, full and punchy P-Bass sound that you hear on thousands of classic recordings. The original 3-ply mint green pickguard is a beautiful detail that contrasts perfectly with the fiery red finish. The alder body provides the perfect balance between weight and tone, while the maple neck with its comfortable C-profile and rosewood fingerboard provides superior playability. The original open-gear tuners and 4-saddle bridge keep this vintage Precision perfectly in tune. At 4.1 kg, this bass is also pleasantly light, which makes long performances a lot more comfortable. The bass is in excellent condition for its age, with normal playwear that only enhances the character of this instrument. On the technical side, we find a shim in the neck pocket to optimize the neck angle. Under the pickguard we find two original Stackpole potentiometers from the 20th week of 1965, and the output is also original. Furthermore, we see the date stamp 5MAY65C on the neck, and this indicates a P-Bass neck from May 1965 with a nut width of 44.5 mm. The pickup is also original, and the date May 10, 1965 is written on it. An authentic vintage Precision Bass like this one not only offers a legendary sound, but is also a piece of music history that will only continue to increase in value. If you are a bassist looking for that unparalleled vintage P-Bass tone, this '65 Precision in Candy Apple Red is an exceptional opportunity that you should not miss!

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
