2011 Fender '62 American Vintage Reissue Precision Bass

These '62 American Vintage Reissue (AVRI) basses have been going strong for a long time, though of late they've been superseded by the '63 RI and now the '60s Original models. This one sounds and plays great, with that wide, percussive thump that you want out of a P-Bass and a quick, comfortable neck. I've known this particular bass for a few years, too, and it's been stable that whole time -- only needing a truss rod tweak now and then.

It has a little playwear/scratching on the pickguard and a few nicks to the finish along the edges, but overall it's in great shape. I've put the coverplates back on for the bridge and pickup but it's mostly lived with them removed and stashed in the case pocket.

Repairs included: mild setup adjustments.

Condition notes: it's all-original throughout and in good order There are some small nicks/finish bumps along the edges of the instrument but only very light scratching here and there on the top/back -- you can't see it unless you're really looking for it. The pickguard has some scratching and playwear, though.


It comes with: an original brown Fender hard case.
