Left Handed 1957/58 Fender Precision Bass, Extremely Rare!
Description
For Sale: Left Handed 1957/1958 Fender Precision Bass, serial # 023342. Left Handed Fender basses from the 1950s are extremely rare. I sold a 1960 P-Bass years ago, and haven't seen an earlier one!
This one is all original except for one replaced knob, has a fair amount of player wear, is missing the thumb rest and bridge cover. Neck has a pencil date of 1-57. Neck pocket is marked "LEfT HANd". Neck pickup has the raised pole piece for the A string.
Currently housed in a newer tweed case, has the original soft case (gig bag) but the handle will need to be replaced.
This bass was appraised by Gruhn back in 2009 (see photo), just as the market was recovering from a severe correction from the financial crisis of 2008.
