This is a shout-out to all you musicians. Namely, bass players.
We recently purchased a used Fender Precision Squier bass for a aspiring child. Unlike the newer, and cheaper model Squiers, this bass is a little different. It would appear that the saddle, bridge, and tailpiece are made of brass.
The print on the headstock differs from those of newer models. From what we were told, this model is believed to have been made in the 80's, and is suppose to be of higher quality. It would appear that the fingerboard is made of rosewood, with a black body and white pickguard.
The salesman played it for us, and the sound quality's good for a start-up.
Would any of you have ideas on the history? I surfed the net, but couldn't find any info.
Thanks, TJI
A fish, but not The Fish.
Excellent post, Hugin.
I discovered that it’s a black label series dating ‘95-’96. Genuine Fender, and not a Squier.
Thanks for all of your help.
With the saddle, bridge, and tailpiece being made of brass hardware, I have go wonder whether or not the previous owner replaced the original hardware.
