Here a walnut coloured Fretless Fender Precision Bass, 1977, Made in USA with a 3-bolt on neck. Fender bolt-on guitars and Basses were very popular in the 50s, 60s and 70s. The Fender Precision Bass was a complete game changer when the early models released in October 1951. It was an entirely new instrument that simply didn’t exist before Leo Fender invented it.
The predecessor to this bass was an upright double bass, which was large and bulky and far from portable. It was also difficult to be heard over the loud horn section and drums that formed many of the dance bands of the era. After a number of design changes, the Precision bass has become a staple instrument. Fender started production of the fretless models in the 1970s. A good example is the the bass below. A solid bass made out of alder with a rose board. Great looker with the walnut and the chrome hardware. Maple neck and rose fretboard.
