Fender Precision Bass from 1978 with an ash body and maple fingerboard is a vintage gem that holds a special place in the history of electric basses. In the late 1970s, Fender was transitioning from the CBS era to a period of reinvigorated quality control and craftsmanship.

The use of ash for the body is notable because ash is known for its distinct grain patterns and tonal characteristics. Ash is appreciated for its bright, resonant, and well-balanced tonal qualities. The choice of ash for the body of the Precision Bass in 1978 contributed to the instrument's overall sound and aesthetic appeal.

Maple fingerboards, on the other hand, are known for providing a bright and snappy tone. The combination of an ash body and a maple fingerboard resulted in a bass guitar with a well-defined and articulate sound.

This Fender Precision Bass from 1978 is all original, except pickups (62 reissue) and the bridge (Badass). Lightweight, in excellent condition, and delivering that classic, unmistakable Precision sound. A splendid vintage P-Bass. Comes with the original case.
