1983 Fender Elite II Precision Bass Walnut with Original Case
Summary: The Fender Elite II P-Bass lasted from ’83-’85 and featured 2 active P-Bass pickups, brass hardware, micro tune bridge and a new noiseless pickup design. This Fender has a walnut neck and body and is the only Elite bass to have an ebony fingerboard. It has just been setup and restrung by our in-house luthier and comes with the original ATA approved “Voyagair” flight case which is extremely road ready tough! This bass is in fantastic shape and it sounds incredible.
Body: Solid walnut body with 3 ply w/b/w pickguard and natural gloss finish.
Neck: The walnut neck has an ebony fingerboard, 34” scale length, 1 ¾” nut width, maple skunk stripe and maple side dots.
Pickups/Hardware: It has the original active pickups, 2 volumes, 1 tone, 3-way pickup selector and 3-way “tone assign” switch which lets you choose if the tone knob will work on both or either pickup. It has gold hardware, Schaller Fender tuners and Schaller Fender fine tune bridge.
Cosmetics: This Fender bass is in great shape with no cracks, breaks or major wear. There is some buckle rash on the back, some scratches on the back by the neck plate, some dings on the top by the pickguard, a discolored area in the finish in the treble side cutaway, some dings by the arm rest edge, some light pick scratches around the pickups and knobs and some dents and a chip in the end of the headstock.
Playability: Our in-house guitar tech has just inspected and set this bass up with round wound strings. The neck is straight, the truss rod is fully functioning, and the action has been setup low and comfortable. The frets are in great shape with no major grooves or divots from use and it plays beautifully up and down the fingerboard with no dead spots or choking out.
Weight: 11 lbs, 3.5 oz.
