An original Olympic White finish shows minimal wear with the exception of some forearm wear, otherwise its in great condition throughout. The alder body is a good weight and shows no signs of modification. The Rosewood ‘boarded Maple neck, likewise shows little wear with the S7 Serial number matching the decal on the reverse of the pickguard. The green inked neck stamp dates the neck to ’77 with a J. Torres stamp also present along with the other expected QC stamps. The nut a and frets are original to the bass. Hardware is all standard for the later seventies with chrome plate Tuners, four bolt neck plate and bridge. The black pickguard is a feature of the Precision bass from ’75 onwards with the thumb rest moving above the strings.
