1969 FENDER PRECISION BASS REFINISH FIESTA RED W/ CHENEY ENGLAND CASE
Please to notice :
The original CTS pan is installed in a "standard pickup". When this bass installed an additional Jazz Bass pickup, they also installed additional tone and volume pots. The original owner used an additional "pitch" pot because of playing, so the guitar now has one tone and two volume pots, so it can get a much wider sound. The redundant hole in the pickguard is professionally installed and almost invisible because the original work was carried out by pro luthier from UK back in the day, the result on the additional pot was 1966 (Fender / CBS bought around 5 million 250K CTS pots in 1966 and was used on all models until around 1972 ). The original owner of the P-Bass bought it at Dealer in UK. For additional information, in the 1960's when Fender shipped guitars to the UK they didn't use USA made guitar cases and instead used cases Cheney England.
