FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO DRAGGIN' GUITARS in Lawrence KS with ANY questions, or to just chat about the guitar.Here is a very early production vintage Fender Precision Bass.  The bass has several well-known Fender Employee name's included.  The Body has been refinished at some time long ago-it is an original style nitrocellulose lacquer finish in the correct 'blonde' hue.  The bass plays great and sounds great.  The serial number is 0347!The original body is ash and it is a 'slab' shape.  The finish appears to have been done long ago and there is some very minor handling evidence here and there.  The Ash grain looks very nicely defined on the front side and looks spectacular on the backside-see photos.  There is a cosmetic stress line on the treble side of the neck slot-it is stable and appears to be below the clear coat-see photos.  The original bakelite pickguard is in good condition, with no cracks.   It has the factory chatter marks still visible on the inside edges and there is normal playing wear all over the factory-applied coating.  The neck slot has some employee writing visible along with the famous "D" imprinted-stamp.  The writing appears to be:  E 07 #6 (batch number) and the date: 6-9-52 is clearly visible.  The inside of the control cavity retains the factory inspection tape with the hand-written name "Mary" and date of 5-3-52 see photos.  The neck joint is solid and it has an excellent neck angle.  The neck is super smooth and feels pretty amazing-as you would expect.  It is straight and the truss rod functions.  The profile is a nice soft-V shape and the nut width is 1.69" wide (1 11/16").   The neck depth is .875" deep at the 1st fret and 1.015" at the 12th fret-an outstanding example of an early P-bass neck.  The hand-written initials of famous Fender employee "Tadeo Gomez" reside on the end, along with the date: 6-12-52.   A real Tadeo Gomez neck makes this bass very special-but you probably already know that.  The corresponding "D" stamp impress
