Al, Took mine to be valued for insurance purposes last month and was astounded. I've had it since 1968 and bought it off the Jethro Tull bassist Glenn Cornick in who in turn had bought it from Roger Waters of Pink Floyd fame.
Luckily I have the provenance to prove it as well as the signed album Stand Up on which Glenn played the bass. Its a Fender pre CBS Precision and I had a solid ebony fretboard fitted with silver fretting once I bought it. The valued it at just over £5K as it is one of the early Pre CBS models with an early serial number - much sought after evidently. And Here's me just dragging it around from gig to gig (not that I do many these days). The trouble is that now I know how valuable it is I'll be over protective and worry unduly. In a way I wish I didn't know its value.

I wanted a precision bass. The basist in the band I was in had one and I got to play it a few times, not that Im a bass player but I did have a go. Nice.

Why not just be a base player. I forget when I last had to tune the old Precision here, it just never goes out of tune - or is me that just can't tell I'm out of tune 'cos my hearing is going? <BG> And 27 years on the same set of strings until one broke last weekend - think I'll complain about substandard manufacturing processes to Rotosound!
