I am hoping someone can help. I have a Fender Bass electric guitar that was my grandfathers and I need to sell it but cant seem to find a value. I think it is a 1962 because the serial number say 62 528. It is all white and in good condition other than some chipping at the bottom. Any thoughts as to where I can find some information?

If your serial is 62528 then this Precision Bass was finished at Fullerton between July 1, 1960 and June 30, 1961.

If you have what I think you have, then in Poor to Fair condition it is worth at least $4,000 here in the southeastern US. In excellent to near mint condition more like $15,000 to $18,000 and maybe more depending on where you live and whether the case is intact etc.

Post pictures. Include close up of the headstock front and back, neck front and back, body front and back and body edges. Photo of the case is helpful too.

the more pics you post of the bass the better we can get an idea of what you have,any numbers or decals are what you should take pics of,they contain all the important info needed to date your bass.

Now just settle down. You're such a grouch when you don't get your nap! Now, go have a cookie and some juice, no chocolate milk until dinner and I mean it!
