Hello! Oda here!
I've been thinking "I really want a Precision Bass," and thanks to that persistent wish, we've just received several 1970s Precision Basses!!
Actually, this same thing happened exactly one year ago (lol)
A year has passed since then, and we've got three new arrivals, plus two that were bought back from customers who brought them back to our shop for trade-in, making a total of five!
We have a '72, '74, '76, '78, and another '78.
Each has different specs, and the sound is completely different.
First, let's introduce all the specs at once.
I don't think you can tell the sound just by the weight, but I'll list it as it's an easy point of comparison!
1972 Fender PRECISION BASS ¥990,000 (tax included)
Popular white color!
Alder body with rosewood fingerboard.
Alder, but it weighs 4.5kg!
1974 Fender PRECISION BASS ¥440,000(tax included)
Natural finish model!
Alder body with rosewood fingerboard.
This one is lightweight at 3.9kg!
1976 Fender PRECISION BASS ¥550,000(tax included)
Sunburst finish with a black pickguard!
Features an ash body and rosewood fingerboard.
This one weighs 4.6kg, showcasing the classic 70s ash body feel.
1978 Fender PRECISION BASS ¥495,000 (tax included)
Natural finish with black pickguard!
Ash body, rosewood fingerboard.
This one weighs 4.73kg. The heaviest of the bunch featured this time!
1978 Fender PRECISION BASS ¥495,000(tax included)
Also features a natural finish with a black pickguard!
Also from '78, but this one has an ash body and maple fingerboard.
Weight: 4.66kg. The only maple fingerboard model in this lineup!
This time, I think the difference in character between the early and late 70s is very clear!
Sound impressions are also written on each product page, so please check them out!
For those curious about the sound, demo videos will be released soon!
Stay tuned!
Oda
