Hi this is the first time i've done this so if i sound like an arse i apologise.
I have fallen in love with a black Fender Precision bass. It has a rosewood fretboard, black scratch plate and original case. It's a little bit tatty but no dents or major scratches. I want to buy it but don't know for sure what it's worth. I think its a 1977/78 model as serial no. is S748210.
Does anyone know what would be a fair price for it please?

I have no idea as far as pricing. Hopefully someone more knowledgable will post with something that can help you.

BTW Welcome to the forum.

Edit: I ran across this on the Fender site
Quote:
ESTABLISHING THE VALUE OF YOUR USED OR VINTAGE INSTRUMENT
As a manufacturer and distributor of new instruments, Fender has no direct involvement in the used, collector or vintage instruments markets, and is therefore unable to comment or speculate on the current value of such instruments. These markets operate completely independent of the new-instrument market.

If, however, you're interested in determining a relative value for your instrument(s), we recommend
that you contact used or vintage instrument dealers in your area. You might consider referring to Vintage Guitar magazine (www.vguitar.com), a great and helpful resource for those who buy, sell and trade vintage instruments. You might also consider consulting one or more of the many instrument dealers who offer appraisals of vintage instruments, such as Elderly Instruments (www.elderly.com), Gruhn Guitars (www.gruhn.com) or Norman's Rare Guitars (www.normansrareguitars).

Other resources include the Orion Blue Book (or Blue Book of Guitar Values), which might be found in your local library. Many pawnshops use this book and others like it to establish instrument values.
