The bass was a 1973, made in Japan. It's a standard Fender Precision copy, right down to the red shell pickguard and clover shaped tuners. I bought it after passing a bass player audition for a working band. (I had been a drummer up to that point)It cost me 180 dollars in 1973.
It has a standard sunburst finnish and maple neck.

For years it suited my musical style (Rock and Pop) very well. I used it with Ampeg SVT and also Ampeg B-15. It sounded fine but the mids were slightly honky compared to the Fender. It stayed in tune well and rarely need truss rod adjustment. I replaced the univox pickup a couple of years later with a cream colored dimarsio P-bass replacement pickup which improved the midrange tones.

Action was about like the Fender but the frets seemed less durable. maybe a different metal or something. Finnish still looking good after many years of abuse, although I have scratched the back and front by just playing the hell out of it. All hardware is fair to average. Electronics O.K. but seem to get grit around the vol. & tone controls.

This was my first and least expensive bass. I still have it but rarely play it. My other basses get the priority.
