eBay item number 160012350370

1959 Fender Precision Bass

Matching headstock
Anodised metal pickguard
Rosewood slab fingerboard
Clay dot inlays
Ex- Gary Day (Morrissey)
The above listed instrument is an original 1959 Fender Precision Bass made in Fullerton California, although professionally refinished and distressed to look like an original finish it retains most of it's original parts and plays and sounds fantastic. Owned by Gary Day from Morrissey's band and featured on many recordings.

  • Anyone else see the irony? Gary Day's bass born in 1959, Morrissey born in 1959! I think Morrissey should buy it and put it next to his Johnny Thunders teardrop guitar.

  • Gary Days bass for £3000? Joke.

  • well, well, well...

    a '59 P-Bass is an extraordinarily nice instrument. i'd love to have one to complement my Fender J-Bass, but can't quite afford this one. if 100 people on this site send me £15 each, i can offset the difference and i'll have a lovely bass that we can all be proud of. thanks in advance...

    anyone can play bass, but not this one

    the price is well acceptable for the years

  • Music Ground know their stuff, and 3 grand for a *refinished* '59 is OK. With all due respect, it's only going to go up in value, too. In fact, with original pickups, pots, wiring etc (tho auction doesn't esplicitly state this) , 3 grand seems eminently reasonable!

  • Out of all Gary's basses, I thought the one he used during 'Will Never Marry' on the "Live In Dallas" video sounded the best. If anyone knows the name of that bass, it would be greatly appreciated.
