I purchased this bass used in 1984.
It's remained in my conditioned non smoking closet for the last 26 years!
This is a 1982 US Made Fender Precision 4 String Bass made prior to CBS sell out to private investors!
From Fender Site: V + 4 to 6 digits (U.S. Vintage Series) = 1982-1988 (neck date=exact year)
neck date 6-28-1982 (may not be clear in photo)
Text on neck says..R (for right hand I suppose) P Bass..(then someones intials) and 6-28-82
serial no. V014494 on chrome back plate
This bass is in very good condition for a 29 year old.
Neck is straight, frets are good w/no buzz, hardware good chrome finsh w/no rust! PUs are good, pots need a cleaning w typical little noise.
Still has a good gloss finish w/no chekin however there are some player dings on upper back horn which are not noticeable in photos.Also a small buckle rash scratches and some scratches back side of upper horn.
The back of neck still has gloss finish w/no player wear as I only gigged this bass for about a year before I started playing a G & L. (wish I still had that one too!)
I put a brass pick guard on when I purchased it because that was the cool thing in that day!
$2000 Firm plus $100 shipped w/ins. CONUS
