If you bought a Sunburst Precision Bass in 1972 (August in this particular case), played it on the gig regularly and didn’t abuse it, chances are that this is just how it’d look. 100% Original and no funny business. It is in nice “played” condition with no issues. Plays great and sounds great and looks as cool as. An “Industry Standard” if there ever was one! NB, the original Tuners, Pickup and Bridge Covers are in the original case. Nothing modified, they screw right back on.
