Product details

This might be one of the rarest, most mysterious, storied, and hotly debated Fender Precision basses ever built. From the time it fell into the hands of Aspen Pittman in 1973 up to today, this P-Bass has been on an odd journey and was originally priced well over $100,000.00 when it first hit the market. All documentation from Aspen Pittman and George Fullerton is provided below and will be provided with the bass, along with about a dozen or so 8x10s. You can get a full rundown with the docs below, or you can also go to The High Gain Podcast, Episode #96, for an "oral history" of the bass.
