Hello,
I have a Fender Precision Bass guitar that I'd like to know more about. Mostly the value of the guitar.

It's got a metal plate on the back with G 1080 stampped on the plate. There's also a date at the base of the neck (viewable when the next is seperated from the base) and the date stamp says 6 Jan 65.

I've got a couple of digital pictures available.

I'm sorry, but I can't figure out how to upload pictures to this site.

I'll take instruction on how to upload or email addresses where I can send the pictures.

How much do you want for it?

Oh! is there an A B or C by the date on the neck?

Well, looking at the fender site to help you date it, the plate doesn't make sense!

Have a look at this link and you will see 2 possibilities! Both approx early 1980s! So the neck is prob not original to body! Is the body Walnut?

Hope this helps!
